Any Samford folks on here? ASU/Samford 9/25

Post by ASUG8 »

Me, the wife and my brother are looking at attending the ASU/Samford game this weekend and wondered if you can provide any insight on where to tailgate, places to see, hotels close to campus, etc. Looks to be about a 4.5 hr drive from Greenville to Birmingham, and we'll probably come down Saturday morning and head back here on Sunday. Any help is appreciated. :nod:

Any ASU folks that are going and want to hook up PM me. :thumb:

We have a group driving over from ATL. I can tell you from 08 that the visiting team tailgate area is across from the main entrance from the university and a short walk to the stadium. Come look us up. :thumb:

Just rolled back in from Birmingham - fantastic weekend :thumb: Birmingham is a really cool town with loads of good night spots and restaurants. Samford's campus is beautiful, although the stadium is pretty small - they had their tenth largest crowd with about 9,600 fans, and we probably had 1500-2000 from ASU. The hospitality and friendliness of the Samford folks was great - I'm still trying to figure out how they ran out of bottled water in the first quarter on a 90* plus day :?

Hung out with SpeedkingATL who kindly cooked up some brats and good conversation - it was great to meet you guys.

Oh yeah, and we won. That was kinda good too. :kisswink:
