    Speaking of Game-Day-experience, could someone fill me in a little on the positive changes that have taken place since I've been to a home game? sorry for the slight hijack but due to where I've been living and my job I haven't been to a home game since the year we beat Clemson in the Peach Bowl (went to that game too).

    I remember going to a couple of away games to bamer back in the mid 90's. I was at the one where JJ poured it on bamer. I also went to the game in Knoxville with a UT buddy when the vols beat the gators when the vols won the natty that year when I lived in Memphis.

    what I remember was wishing MSU would have things set up like I saw @ bamer and UT. live music, open door bar / restaurants where you could just casually walk in , grab some good food and a beer and stuff. The pathways to get to the stadium had all of these things on both sides. lot's of excitement, live music & food & alcohol galore.

    I'm going to be in better position to go to some games next year and would be interested to know what differences I'm going to see other than our stadium renovation.

    It's completely different than back then and almost all the changes are good ones. You won't believe the Junction. Back then MSU didn't have a tailgate scene really. We sure do now. To bad this is an 11am game so unfortunately you won't get the full experience. If you haven't been on campus at all since then be careful driving. A lot of the roads you remember are no longer there and some have changed directions and routes. There are a ton of new and heavily renovated buildings. Go check out the Union for sure.

    thanks Liver. what I remember about bamer and ut though was it appeared they were actually selling alcohol on campus. that can't be though, right? isn't alcohol sales prohibited on college campuses? If I recall, people were buying alcohol and food within walking distance to the stadium. I'm just going off memory from a long time ago.

    It is in Mississippi, selling it at least. It's not that way everywhere.
