Nah, they posers. The Zoo is where the real men and women hang

Sorry, I watch all my games from the Coliseum in Rome.

I get to watch all the games in the suites but I usually don't stay long. Those guys don't want me to linger around after I bring them their food and drinks.

Yes the chicken wraps do cost $24 and they are best paired with a blue moon.

I get to go to a couple every year. A former business partner of mine has a founder suite, and a client of mine has the suite three over from him.

Tons of food, free booze (or you can buy drinks from the cash bar in the hall that connects all of the suites) air conditioning, private bathrooms, plus about 6 other TVs all playing different games so you can see what's going on elsewhere when you're grabbing food or something. After 5-6 courses of food, they bring around a huge ass dessert cart in the 4th quarter. The seats are awesome, and you get a full unobstructed view of everything in the stadium. I always eat too much, but it's great way to watch a game.

Those are actually the only home games I even go to these days. I'm not standing in the heat for 4 hours.

Edit: I'm trying to recall all the different food I've had. There's been a nacho bar, beef tenderloin medallions with sweet rolls and toppings (to make sliders), chicken strips with a bunch of different sauces, barbecue, mac and cheese bar, wings, salad bar, pizza delivered in the 4th quarter, and of course the dessert. I know there's more that I can't recall.

A buddy of mine worked for Outback catering in college, and he actually had a blast working up there. Free booze, free food, watching the game in AC.

I'll still pick standing with the students though. I don't think there's a better way to watch a college football game than with them. If I want to sit down in the AC with food and beer I'll pick my reclining couch at home.

Well damn, then what are you doing here?

Every game, why?

FIFY.

What's it's like being in the show..



Do the women really have long legs and brains? I'm having serious doubts about the latter.

I am not an insider, but I have been in the suites a couple of times.

Last year I took a customer to my company's suite. Good location in the stadium. Good chow and good booze. Did enjoy starting the game with a Bloody Mary. Downside to that was that I did have to be attentive to my customer and didn't watch as much of the game as I would have liked.

I also sat in the Chancellor's suite two years ago for Ole Miss. Upsides: Cain garage parking. Chancellors pregame tailgate was awesome. Binoculars at every seat in the suite. Good food and booze in the suite. Got to go down on the field at halftime and watch the first 5 or 6 minutes of third quarter from field level. Nice parting gift (cutting board in the shape of Texas). Downside: the suite is not in the greatest location. In the northwest corner.

I didn't have to entertain anybody this time, so watched the whole game. Probably only about 25% of the crowd in the suite was actually watching the game from the seats. Most were sitting in the suite area and eating/drinking/talking and half-watching the game on TV.

I think I'm going to get to do it again for the Ole Miss game this year.

It was fun doing both of those, but my wife and I agreed that we have more fun when we're sitting out in the stadium.

TLDR: Done it a couple of times. Good food and booze. More fun in the stadium with regular folks like me.

At what point of the game do they bring the strippers in?

Right after they come get the wives to go to the spa.

I'll bite....I got to watch a game in the Slovaceks suite a couple years ago. Invited by friend of a friend kind of invitation. Was worried I'd be too much tailgate material and not enough suite material. Anyway, it was probably the coolest Aggie Football experience of my life. The entire Slovaceks group there were the most down to earth Aggie loving people I have been lucky enough to watch a game with. The rumors about beer and food are true, didn't have to reach one foot for anything I wanted. It definitely makes any other game watching experience a downer compared to that day of my life. If it counts for anything, we only buy Slovaceks from now on and any corporate event we do we cook only their brand. I'd gladly go again if offered the chance ......

I've been in the center suite in the Zone numerous times and once in a Founders Suite. The owners of the company worked for had the suite and would regularly offer Aggie employees extra tickets. I've also used their 2nd deck 50 yd line seats several times (prior to the rebuild). The Founders was more enjoyable since it opens to the outside and gives you that gameday atmosphere and feel. I found the Zone suite to be stuffy. Food that was catered in was always top notch and of course drinks flowed to your liking. I think my hosts had their food catered out of Houston. Private restrooms were always nice though obviously the new founders suite was far nicer. Then again, a toilet is a toilet. TV's in the Zone were desperate for an upgrade last time I was up there. Numerous University bigs dropped in to say hello. I rarely tried to engage them other than a hearty Howdy Coach Slocum, or Dr. Bowen, or President Loften, etc.

Won't happen again in the foreseeable future as I no longer work for that company.
