[DawgatAuburn]

Give me a little more info. Friday or Saturday? Family, date, just the guys? Anything you don't want?

 

[GTAdawg]

Staying in Montgomery Saturday night.

Any good strategies or tips on where to park for easy access back that way after the game? Thanks.

 

[Wicked Pissah]

Does Hamilton's still have really good scallops?

 

[DawgatAuburn]

Probably. Haven't had them there. Had them at Ariccia (the restaurant in the AU Hotel) recently and they were fantastic.

If everyone stays until the clock hits 0:00, nothing is easy although I don't think it's as bad here as the reports from the State-LSU game were. In general I would say park further out so that after the game you are not caught up in the snarl that develops on and around campus. If you don't mind the walk, I would park out at the university's Facilities Division on Samford Avenue (CRVT - F4 on the map). It's on the extreme west end of campus. You can ride the Tiger Transit into campus from there before the game (free) but it may be quicker to walk back afterwards depending on the line to get on the bus at that time, plus the traffic. I don't know what time that lot would fill. The bus starts running four hours before the game though.

It depends on what kind of hurry you are in to get back to MGM. If you are not in any hurry at all, then just go to downtown Auburn and pay ~$20 at the Methodist Church for parking, enjoy the downtown scene before and after the game, and get in the car when traffic has thinned a little. Or park at the mall, ride the bus in, and then post game you have two hours to do whatever before getting on the bus. But if you are anxious to get out of there, then I'd probably say parking at Facilities is your best bet. From there you can go west to University, then take a right onto Wire Road at the Vet School and take Wire Road all the way to 85. That's "the back way" but it's by no means a secret and will be packed after a game.

[DawgatAuburn]

I don't know about Rev Newton, but Rev Redmond is at Parkway Baptist Church. I can save you a seat.

 

[ArcherSPS]

The boys and myself need a place on Saturday.

 

[Thirty-Two Dive]

What are the directions to Bruce Pearl's after-game swimming party?**

 

[DawgatAuburn]

Dinner on/near College Street on a Saturday with a 6:30 kick is a challenge. When you say "on College" I am presuming you mean downtown, not way out on South College where there are several options as well. If you are downtown, you are probably going to have to eat at 4:30 maybe 5 at the latest or so in order to get food, make the walk to the stadium, and get to your seats without being rushed.

Options:
The Hound http://www.thehound-auburn.com/
Little Italy Pizza http://littleitalyau.com/
Cheeburger Cheeburger
Island Wing
Just google them for links.

Still in the downtown area but on the other end of College:
Price's BBQ House
Chain-type places like Uncle Maddio's, BurgerFi and Newk's

There's also a Momma Goldberg's on Thach just a block and a half off of College. http://www.mommagoldbergsdeli.com/location-results/?location_search_city=Auburn

Let me know if I'm missing the boat here.

ETA one more place is Fink's. About 5-10 minutes walk from Toomer's Corner. It's semi recently relocated and rebranded. Haven't heard a lot about it. http://www.finks2.com/

 

[hullabaloodog]

Best bar/restaurant to post up at during the day on Saturday to watch football, drink, and eat for a couple of hours?

 

[DawgatAuburn]

It was a cookout, not a swimming party.

 

[cowbell88]

Dale's Den in Dooothaaan Alerbamer. Real place or not? And can I wear maroon inside without conflict before game and after?

 

[Thirty-Two Dive]

THAT's right. Thanks for the (much needed) clarification.

Do I need to bring the Juicy Jumbos?***

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Hebrew National Hotdogs if you are going to one of Bruce Pearl's cookouts---he is a member of 1 of those 12 tribes.

Also bring lots of Benjamin Franklin's.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Might want to consider Prattville

 

[Bulldogg31]

Is this place nearby? I hear it's just like a mini-mall.

[GTAdawg]

Yeah, if I stayed on that side Montgomery I would

be hard pressed to just drive on back home. Which wouldn't be a good idea.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Is that the gay bar off the highway? If it is, then yes, it's real. Don't ask.

 

[vhdawg]

Any good strategies or tips on where to park for easy access back that way after the game? Thanks.

Park somewhere near the MSU Alumni Association tailgate and catch the shuttle....quick access to University Drive (or whatever they call it) to get back to the interstate. You could also park along Wire Road, which would take you back to the interstate (albeit further).

 

[jwbigcreek]

Ok D@A, I've always wonder this myself. Is Dale's Den a real place? Most of my barner friends in Hsv have never heard of it (used to be a "call-in" to John Boy & Billy Show that was pretty funny).

 

[DawgatAuburn]

Never heard of it. Haven't listened to JB&B in probably 15 years though.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

Sorry I missed this one earlier. If that's your plan I would get to Auburn early enough to score downtown parking, then just pick a place that appeals to you. There's everything from upscale at Hamilton's to cheap pizza and beer at Little Italy. One new place I haven't been is Live Oak on the corner of Glenn and College. I also haven't ever been to the sports bar on College, Halftime. Mellow Mushroom is also down there with TVs, food and drink. Island Wing is just down Glenn from Live Oak. The Hound is in that area. Easy walk to the stadium from that area.
