If we get Gameday this year then it needs to be setup on the Drill Field with Lee Hall in the background.*

Although I think that would be a nice background for tv, I don't think it's close enough to the stadium....you wouldn't have nearly the crowd participation that you would if it's held where it was back in '14.

What games would we be competing against that weekend for Gameday?

I haven't watched Gameday in 3 years now is it any good anymore?

Ohio State at Penn State is also that weekend. Doubt we get Gameday, but SEC Nation seems very likely.

Here’s another hot take for you: Going to Gameday in person SUCKS if you go for the full experience. It’s always been nice background noise on a Saturday morning if you’re watching from home, but it’s a super draining experience in person. For the Auburn game we got there at 6 am so we could get pretty close to the front of the pit. That was a loooooong five hours where maybe 20 minutes of it focused on MSU vs Auburn.

If we host again, I will likely just show up for the last hour or so and watch from afar. It’s one of those things that I’m glad I can say I got to do it once, but I don’t care that much if I never do it again. Like I said, it’s certainly much more enjoyable from your living room, although I doubt I’ve ever watched an episode on TV from start to finish. It’s usually just on in the background and then I tune in to see Corso put on a mascot head.

It’s great publicity for the host school, but as a fan experience it wasn’t great for me.

We'll have it for Florida or Auburn as long as we take care of business. My guess is Auburn if we beat Florida

I agree. I went to Auburn one. I was a student and me and all my friends got there at 5:45. Stood there for about 30 minutes and thought “are we really about to stand in this one spot for 5 hours” and decided to leave and go make breakfast and watch it from our fraternity tailgate. But once you get into the “pit area” in the front, you can’t really leave bc you probably won’t get back in

But back to the topic, I like the spot they had last. I know it caused a lot of congestion, but the atmosphere was through the roof with it right where everyone tailgates

I just picture the set with Lee Hall in the background with all its glory. Let people that think our campus is nothing much finally get a good image of all the architecture we have to offer.
