🏈 Daughters first game

[BamaFisher]

Folks I'm taking my daughters (8 and 9) to their first Alabama game this weekend as a surprise. They've really been closely following the Tide this year and started to understand a lot of facets of the game. They've never seen a homecoming either so I'm sure it'll fire them up. All that being said, I've got 2 questions:
1) Is there a link to all HC festivities and do you guys and gals have any recommendations of things for us to see or do?
2) I've got 2 tickets and was planning on purchasing a 3rd at the gate but figured I'd ask here first since I'd rather give my money to one of you than a random stadium person.

Thanks

If the weather cooperates, they're gonna love homecoming. All the sororities decorate their houses and some are very well done. All are enjoyable. And it'll help burn off some of that youthful energy as you walk around Sorority Row. The homecoming parade is a must as well. I think it starts at 10:30 but better arrive early and find a spot street side on University for the best viewing. We're going as well, haven't missed but one homecoming since 1985.

@BamaFisher, have a great time with your daughter. It will be something those two will talk about for years.

Walking through the Quad is a must. The Strip is always lively. Eat at Rama Jamma's if you get there early enough. Always enjoyable to see the atmosphere around campus. This will be a great time for you and your family. The girls will love it and forever remember it.

I always use this game for a little Daddy/Daughter time! Our birthdays are within a week of one another ( mine is today and daughters is next Tuesday) so I use my season tickets just for us. Seeing the Quad, Walk of Champions, Band at the steps of the Library, etc. are all great things to do. Take pictures so you can cherish those memories!!

I agree with Wayne; your girls will really like all the pageantry on sorority row.

That is a great way to spend time with your daughters. Enjoy the time because it passes so quickly.

Thanks for the advice gang. Bought my 3rd ticket from the link provided by Bamabww. On a side note my wife suggested I not tell them and just surprise them so that's what I'm doing. She packed a secret bag of Bama swag clothes for them to change into when we get there. They'll have no idea where daddy is taking them Saturday morning til we get there! I'm stoked!

It will be great if you could get a picture of them with Big Al.

That is awesome. As already said Sorority row is great, the parade is a must and all of the activities on the Quad. Be safe, keep your girls close to you and have a great time.

Killer idea! My four year old daughter would love getting a Pom Pom and seeing Big Al as a surprise. She would also love to see all the pretty well dressed girls on sorority row, so I have no doubt your girls will get real excited.
