Coleman Coliseum

Wow! The parking is outrageous at The Coleman Coliseum! We arrived 2 hours early to get a parking spot at the Coliseum. But, the Police parking had it blocked off all around the stadium! So. You. had to find a park off the site. Finally, we called our nephew and he told us to go to the Free Parking Lot at The Moody’s ! Yay! Thank Goodness My Baby/Niece was driving and she was an alumni at the University . She knew exactly where to go to park. And we found a spot on the first level going down, right by the door! But, it was a walk to the Coliseum! WHEW! They need to have some type of bus services for Elderly people, Handicapped, Disabled people , etc! That’s a bit much for them to handle! Bc, once you get there the Coliseum sits along distant from the street. After walking across the campus up the street from the parking lot up to another long walk before you reach the building! PHEW! After finally walking up the steps to the front glass doors, we reached the entrance into a large open area where tables were set up with the Graduation Ceremony Programs. Another tables were set up with bouquets of flowers that you could buy for your Graduate students. It’s was a nice place and the atmosphere was lovely. Of course, everyone was happy about the outcome of their loved ones who was about to graduate from The University! We gathered our programs and then set out to find our seats. We set in a fourth row lower level area near the wall & entrance to go back out. It was quiet and pleasant as people were slowly tricking in to find seats. Our other family arrived and found us also! Which really made it one big surprise & happy family! Inside the Coliseum was very nice, the music was playing softly. The kiosks in the top of the ceiling were displaying the signs, “Legends Are Made” It was Lovely! Finally the Ceremony begin as the Faculty & Staff marched in the take the stage. Then the Graduate Students marched in from the different entrance to take their seats. It was beautiful and in a timely manner! The entire program was lovely as each student received their recognition and degree! As the students marched out we left out also, to find our nephew outside to congratulate him & take pictures! Everyone was so happy and it was a pleasure, wonderful experience! The Coliseum was a beautiful place and accommodating inside indeed! The atmosphere outside & grounds were nice! We had a nice time with our nephew and family! Even the long walk back to the parking lot didn’t matter much with my Lower Back Situation! Thank goodness I wore my back support! Despite it all, it was a happy day! I gave the 4 1/2 bc of the parking situation. “HAPPY GRADUATION JOSH!”

Yes, I took my wife to a ball game last night. The first time I've ever been there, and I was very very disappointed and floored at what I heard the students saying repeatedly over and over throughout the game.. Now I understand students are kids, but to be allowed their profanity that they cheered very loud and said throughout the game just blew me away my wife and I had to leave early because we are very devout. They were saying F U Auburn. I heard several people complaining about this.

We came to the game this past Wednesday. I have been to other SEC basketball games but I can tell you this was the worst experience of any ball game basketball or football we’ve ever been too. This a This antique Colosseum antique Colosseum needs to go. After the first score of the lights went out for almost 20 minutes. The seats were so small I think kindergarten would be have been uncomfortable sitting in them. Never have been more uncomfortable in my life. Use some of your football money and build a damn new Colosseum.
