Crimson Tide vs. Utah Aggies marked the first football game with alcohol sales within the walls of Bryant-Denny stadium. After a back and forth between University of Alabama Athletics and Tuscaloosa City Council, $8.99 craft beers and $9.99 premium beers were available for purchase at various vendor stations. This push for alcohol sales in BDS was in part motivated by the community, as UA athletics director Greg Byrne said, “It’s something a lot of our fans have been asking for.”

“Ain’t nothing like ‘em nowhere” is the famous motto of the Dreamland barbecue chain, and many agree with their claim to the best BBQ ribs, among other delicious dishes. Barbecue is a fundamental part of southern cuisine, and Dreamland is arguably the most famous BBQ chain in Alabama ever since its founding in 1958. It has ten locations across the Southeast, ranging across three states with multiple locations in Birmingham and Montgomery. It’s a staple of “best of” lists of southern BBQ, and according to Southern Living the original Dreamland location “in Tuscaloosa is a true Alabama classic.”
