For every roadtrip, we shoot to find craft beer and BBQ.
Starkville is the only road game so far where we weren't able to find a brewery in town or even nearby.
They have one, Mayhew Junction, that has been "about to open" for at least 8 years now.
We ended up flying in and out of Birmingham and driving which thankfully does have both beers and bbq.
For the most part, the campus is boring though they do have a beautiful quad area with some nice buildings.
We didn't have any real issues parking on campus. Oddly enough, lots of MSU fans simply park on the side of the freeway. I guess so they can get a jump on heading home?
The stadium is ok, but it's a horseshoe and the guest seats are on one extreme end. We got stuck at a pinchpoint and instead of fighting the tide of fans trying to go the other way, just entered on the other end of the horseshoe not realizing that there is no way to get to the other side without circling the entire stadium once inside. The endzone without seats is completely cut off from normal ticket holders.
The folks were nice. This was right after we hired Mullen so they were pumped for revenge and all wanted to talk about him and how long they thought he would last before he quit.
The cowbells sucked. Bring earplugs.
