While people are attempting to give us ulcers and raise our blood pressure with another "WATCH Thread" I thought I would attempt to get us re-focused on #TrojanTakeOverBham!!
Based on the sections where Troy was given tickets originally and the sections that followed those, it appears that the WEST side of the stadium has been deemed Trojan Territory!! I know that with all bowls, companies have already bought blocks of tickets that may or may not be used (thus resulting in empty seats). I have looked at both Trojan Ticket Office and TicketMaster to get an idea of how much cardinal (hard to determine) will be in the stadium on December 23rd.
IF you divide the stadium in half ... it appears that tickets are being sold in 23 total sections on the west side from section 137 (north endzone) to section 113 (south endzone). Of those 23 sections, FIVE has more than 100+ tickets still available per section and TWELVE has less than 50 tickets still available per section. HOPING for a lot of Trojan Nation to turn out and be loud!!
Are many individuals on this website planning on attending the bowl game? Anyone planning on staying in the Team Hotel (Sheraton Birmingham)?

Anyone planning on staying in the Team Hotel (Sheraton Birmingham)?Yes and yes. FWIW, the Sheraton, which is the team hotel, uses age 62 as the marker for their old folks discount, instead of the usual age 65. That saved me about $50 on a one night stay.

Wish I was going, but I have out of town family Christmas obligations. Get lots of spiked egg nog and they won’t even note that you are not there on the 23rd. If you have a youngin or a close cousin pay them some Money to stand outside a bathroom till you get back and tell those wondering where u are that you have the drizzles really bad. Then all you have to do when you get back is climb through the bathroom window and come out holding your tummy.

If THAT is just not possible, spike the eggnog, change the Channel to ABC/ESPN and say, gosh those red shirted Roll "ahem" guys sure are playing well. And pass the 'Nog.

As Cornhole has mentioned several times, TicketMaster playing games ( AGAIN) with tickets ... releasing HUNDREDS of seats this week in sections that "appeared" to almost be sold out last week! Sections that MIGHT be of interest to those who have not purchased seats yet, Section 145, Section 146 and Section 104 (one of the original three sections given to Troy) have very few seats available through Troy Ticket Office, now 100+ each section through TicketMaster. GLAD we purchased ours early, but it is frustrating. Honesty is a "lost art" in both individuals and business!

When y'all are tired of Ticketmaster playing games with Troy Athletics and fans, just go directly to the Ticketmaster website and take a look across the field at available seats between the 35's, Section 124, 124 and 126. Plenty available at $100 + Fees. Yes, Troy does NOT get a cut but it's just one game. cornhole too old to use telescope.

A lot of seats available!
C’mon Trojan Nation, let’s fill it up. Especially for our Birmingham living alumni, easy day trip
Pleas encourage your friends and family. We don’t need 75% empty stadium for the Men of Troy.

See you there. The Sheraton is booked and has no more availability ! The Westin is expensive! The Hampton is still available as well as several other hotels nearby with about a 1 mile walk to the Stadium!

The Hampton is still available as well as several other hotels nearby with about a 1 mile walk to the Stadium! This post reminds me of a Family Trip to Baltimore when the hotel concierge told me when going to the harbor to turn right out of the hotel, not left. The Hampton - Tutwiler (not the original Tutwiler Hotel) is located on Park Place and Linn Park is within view of the property. I would encourage visitors to the city when walking to turn right on Park Place, then immediately turn left on Richard Arrington Jr. Blvd, walking under the overhead walkway that connects the old and new libraries, then pass the Jefferson County Courthouse, before walking under Interstate 20/59 (City Walk). The Sheraton - Troy Trojans Headquarters is just pass the interstate! Linn Park (turning left out of The Hampton) is a pretty park with some great historical markers, but like any city, is a preferred area for the homeless population offering a sense of security being located between the County Courthouse and City Hall. Just wanted to make people aware who might not have a heart for home missions!!

Have a feeling stadium will be half full. Alot of folks I talked to have Christmas family obligations, understandable. But think the VAST majority will be Trojan fans. So we should have “home field.” Duke will not travel. For both the long and short term of the program this has to be a win. This bowl game is HUGE for perception, which is important in a lot of ways.

Thx The Westin is located at the south end zone of the stadium in Uptown (basically behind The Sheraton), BUT when I checked rates a month ago it was about $100 more per night than The Sheraton‼️ The Hampton - Tutwiler that was mentioned earlier is probably the only other comparable hotel near the bowl activities 👍🏼
