Lines to get in...question

[canes_mj]

How are the lines? I read all the discussions of issues of the first few games, but haven't heard much since. None of that had much affect on me as our normal seats are in the NEZ...but for S. Ala out tickets are on the east side...so this is my first game this year in the main stadium area...has the situation improved? I usually like to be in my seat by the national anthem and for the beginning of the "APP....STATE" chant, and to see the teams run out.

I don't want to miss any of the game....How early should I get in line to make sure I don't miss kickoff?

Climb the hill, go to the gate across from the Quinn Center and you'll have no line. Everyone stops at the first gate on the East Side.

Been to every home game this year and have not waited a single second to get in at main gate on east side. Walk up, security, scan, 15 seconds max. Full disclosure, i try to be in 30 min before kick, sometimes earlier.

Get there early.

Same here.

Has anybody been to the gift shop in the new NEZ facility? Just wondering if it's worth a visit...

[BambooRdApp]

Small. But good. My wife has purchased a few things there during the season.

It’s got a lot of the same stuff you can find at the bookstore, plus a small amount of gameday (think coaches and sideline) gear.

Go 1 hour before kick and stay to the Tennessee waltz is played after the game and you’ll be fine.

Always had a line policy/theory that has worked many times- especially at places like Disney..always go left.

First game of the season was a nightmare on the East side. ULM was much improved, nearly no waiting. Concessions on the other hand...

[JohnnyBurrito]

So try to get the concessions before the game starts?

Will be the first game I’ve been able to attend this year…

That's as good a plan as any. If you're a beer drinker you're in luck, the lines move fast. Anything else, be prepared to miss a quarter. FYI they are allowing people to bring a water bottle in now.

[AppSt91]

Get in the East side concession line at least an hour before kickoff if you want to be in your seat at kickoff. After that don't even bother.

I think you can also get water in the beer line

Yes, because there is water in beer

Best place if any place to get a youth 10/12 jersey is…

Cooler temps this weekend should be able to bring in all the beverages you need.

So they’re serving Busch Light now? That takes me back to my college days!

I wear cargo pants and put snacks in pockets and bring my own water. Not because I don’t want App to make money, I just refuse to miss 1/8 to 1/4 of the game. Bathroom lines are a little better, but I try to drink a minimum amount so I don’t need to go. I missed the entire drive against Coastal where Cory scored waiting in line.
