I saw State play Alabama in Jackson at 1pm...we had to exit the stadium. Went to the parking lot with my dad and hung out eating a hot dog and looking at the crazy LSU people tailgating. Went back in when the gates opened at 5:30- watched Mississippi play LSU on national TV.
An SEC doubleheader at one stadium
Edited to add- those that know Jackson- for big SEC games traffic would start backing up to a craawl on 55 all the way back past Northside side as it was only 2 lanes then.
