    OK, I am really going to try to get down to a game next year. It is about the only item on my bucket list. I am concerned about early games and weather, but ...

    I haven't been to a game at Tiger Stadium in too many years (late 1980's!)... A game in 2017 sounds like a great idea!

    I would hit the war chickens. Even if we or they suck we hate each other so it is usually a good game. Now we owe those pricks one. So next year should be good.

    Agree, Auburn is the best game to hit, but be prepared to be disappointed. Horrible parking situation, piped in noise drowning out the GBFTL, so many screens and scoreboards constantly flashing in your face that you'll fear having a seizure. And of course, 60% of the crowd will be gone halfway through the third quarter. Death Valley ain't Death Valley any more.

    Not a big fan of the crowd leaving or the piped in ghetto music (worst thing ever is watching drunk white guys who think they can dance try to break it down in the stadium). But I like/don't mind the other additions. Especially is you are in one end one or the other it allows for a better view or where the ball is.

    The last time I went I parked at these people's house who sold me a spot for 10 bucks kind of around the softball field area and just hoof it. It's close enough to the outskirts that traffic really wasn't that bad.

    Agree with that, but that only refers to the big end zone video screens. But there are message scoreboard screens everywhere around the arena now. That's what I'm talking about.

    Unless it's at night the Auburn game will be hot. Take the hogs.

    I'll be making my first trip to Death Valley when Chattanooga(my own university in my hometown) comes to play the tigas. Couldn't be more exicted for a meaningless game 11 months away
