The U of Alabama has made a similar request for this coming weekend's game
with Arkansas. Also, no one attending will be allowed to bring any
coolers, backpacks, camera bags, or even cameras into the stadium.

God bless America,
Land that I love!
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam�
God bless America!
My home, sweet home.
-- Irving Berlin (1888-1989)
