If you are going, better get there early. Will be a security nightmare

We decided to fly in earlier, saw this come up. The only real problem is getting through security. It will have USS at each point.

Attendance on campus for this one's gonna be overwhelming.
We'll see if it rivals 2011 LSU game.

He attended the 2019 LSU game. It was wild.

Which is why the University should say "Thanks but no thanks."

Having been to the 2018 and 2019 games he attended, would very much prefer if he not

Security is going to be an absolute mess considering he now has two assassination attempts. Having to deal with secret service ramped up to 11 is going to be a nightmare this time around

I’m planning to attend the Georgia/Bama game but I wasn’t at either game that he has previously attended. What extra security procedures should I expect to deal with?

Didn't work out well for us last time. I think the team felt the pressure of the moment.

Hopefully this team is mature enough to be able to handle the brightest lights in prime time at Saban Field.

Longer queues, secret service will be taking their time and not just passing you through on a whim. Anything goes off be prepared to be thoroughly frisked/wanded. Don’t be openly drunk trying to get in and get there early, like an hour+ if you really don’t want to miss kickoff. Good chunk of students missed the LSU kickoff

Also they’ll set up a perimeter of street blockades and traffic is more of a mess because it’s much more aggressive

That’s how it was last time. It’s going to be way more aggressive this time I fear and be even more locked down

Last time he was in a private box. I’d be shocked if he’s in the President’s Box

I love Trump, but I’m not sure I want to be sitting near him right now.

Bama is the UFC of college football…

edit: Not that it matters I guess, but I think some of you took this not how it was intended. I meant as in Saban built the program up to the point that it’s still the “Main Event” in college football.

Yes, because a politician attending a football game is just completely unprecedented.

It's not like they're going to parade him out onto the field.

It was actually pretty smooth in 19. They made sure everyone knew to arrive earlier than usual, and they had TSA agents working with the SS to speed up security. We got in and to our seats with no problem.

If you know much about American history you’d know presidents have attended sporting events for well over a century.
