I'm so happy the Braves decided to put their minor league team here in Pearl. How great for the…read morecity! My parents are huge Braves fan and they were both extremely excited to have the minor league team come here! I've been to only one of the Mississippi Braves games and it was a ton of fun. I went with my parents and my two daughters. It just so happen they were playing the Jacksonville Suns (where I have lived for 17 years and where my daughters are from) that night. The game was very excited and both teams played very well. Of course my daughters and me rooted for the Suns all night long! I'm pretty sure we were the only people in the stands who weren't rooting for the Braves. About halfway through the game, the people behind us finally leaned down and said, "Y'all must be from Jacksonville." The girls and I gave them huge smiles and said, 'Yes we are... how'd you guess?!" And we all had a good laugh at that one. My Suns won that night! Yay! But the Braves didn't make it easy on them. I would love to catch another Braves game sometime when I visit Mississippi whether they happen to be playing the Suns again or another team. If you want to have a great night of family fun, then head to a Braves game!

Growing up in Mississippi, one of the highlights of the entire year was when the State Fair arrived…read morein town every year at the beginning of October. It was even more thrilling when I was a teenager and no longer had to be accompanied by my parents!! Oh... the memories!! LOL How my friends and I managed to stay out of trouble, I have no idea! The State Fair still continues to come around at the beginning of October every year, but the grounds themselves aren't nearly as nice as they once were. Time has definitely taken its toll on the pavement, etc. Basically, watch out for cracks and don't trip. The Mississippi Coliseum is also located on the Fairgrounds which is where concerts are held as well as the Dixie National Rodeo (which comes around once a year). During these times, the Fairgrounds become parking for the Coliseum. As someone else mentioned in a review, the fence is now gone, so the huge slide (which is officially open during the State Fair) is now fair game all year long. I wouldn't want to be caught though because I would assume trespassing can come into play. Also, this is most definitely not the part of town I would want to be in late at night as it's not exactly safe. So play on the slide at night at your own risk and try to not get arrested.

The Hump for hoops!…read more Humphrey Coliseum is the home of Mississippi State's basketball team. I've personally watched a lot of games here. It is very intimate as the fans are right on top of the floor. The arena gets loud and hot as the intensity picks up. I got to campus in 1997. MSU was a year removed from the Final Four and there was quite a buzz on campus. Rick Stansbury had many talented teams and players under his watch. The basketball team was always in contention for the SEC West title and a birth into the NCAA tournament. Today's Bullies are led by Rick Ray. He has brought an intense, hard-nosed style to the team. He is rebuilding the program at the moment, but I believe he has the troops heading in the right direction. Humphrey Coliseum is a fun place to watch a game. All of the seats have a great view of the floor and the arena is beautifully located next to Dudy Noble Field.

Does it count if I visit Davis Wade Stadium but don't actually attend a game??…read moreAccording to my friend Chris, it does NOT COUNT! C'mon Chris really?!?! But in my book, yes, it's a check off the list! So yesterday, on a beautiful spring morning in Starkville, Mississippi, I showed up on the campus of Mississippi State University and walked around Davis Wade Stadium. And for those who are familiar with TikTok, G-Fed tours every D-1 college football stadium (not on game days) and gets credit for it. Now it's my turn, lol. Davis Wade sits in the middle of Mississippi State's campus. First up from the parking lot, you have an undisturbed view of the home side of the stadium. It's perfect for a picture moment with Mississippi State's big "M" logo highlighting this section. Also noticeable were a few banners hanging parallel to the "M" State logo of their famous alumni now succeeding in the NFL. Players like Dak Prescott, Darius Slay and Chris Jones. Walking to the right hand side is the first of two end zones. And this is where things got dramatic, real fast (yes for me being a college football fan, lol)... Mississippi State's lettering was boldly painted behind the end zone scoreboard. Now...if you follow the brick path away from the scoreboard, you approach a statue of their mascot, the bulldog. Then if you turn around for a picture, you not only get the bulldog mascot, but you capture the Mississippi State signed scoreboard in the background too. Within one frame, they make a terrific college football stadium setting, with plenty of charming green grass and trees surrounding it all. I definitely took too many photos here, but I was having fun in the moment. And...for 11am on a Sunday, the campus was quiet and I didn't have to contend with students interfering with my picture taking, lol. Moving on...the horizontal back section of the stadium didn't offer much. I walked past a police station but at least there were more trees and grass to admire (which I didn't mind, lol). Lastly, the second end zone showcased a simple brick building facade. It had an old fashioned feel to it. Underneath the awning representing this end zone were large puzzle pieces embedded into the pavement comprising all the counties that make up Mississippi. It was interesting to observe. And Starkville is located towards the northeast section of the state. Then finally, the walk around felt like a mission successfully completed (from my pov, hahaha). It didn't take long. I finished in under 90 minutes and that was slowly taking my time. Here are some extra thoughts... - I wasn't able to get glimpses inside Davis Wade Stadium or onto the field from outside. - I parked in the front parking lot, but come game days, that won't be feasible whatsoever. - According to Google, Davis Wade Stadium only holds 61,000 seats, but by the looks of walking around, I would think it could pack in a lot more fans, maybe 80,000 - 90,000. - I hope to attend a game someday in the future. There's nothing like SEC football. The best players from the best conference in the country with some of the best stadium atmospheres. And I'd love to hear those iconic cow bells ringing all game long. Overall, I'm glad I made the effort to stop at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville, MS. For me as a college football fan, I've watched plenty of games on television, but to actually be here with my own two feet and standing on Mississippi State's campus, in person, was a huge thrill whether there was a game being played or not. Thanks for having me Bulldogs!

At Ole Miss, in the famous Grove, "F*CK YOU AGGIES" was yelled at me - more than once - while carrying my young daughter on my shoulders. At the game, Ole Miss fans spit sunflower seeds on my wife and son. Very classy. At Mississippi State, we enjoyed touring the beautiful campus, stopping to see the Grant and Lincoln collections at the library. We were among State fans a lot, at Bulldog Burger before the game and in a State section of the stadium. To the last person, everyone was friendly or least polite. I would be at 5 stars if not for cowbells! I didn't have preconceptions about these schools before, but now there's only one thing left to say. HAIL STATE!

The ballpark, known for its legendary hospitality, regularly boo's the opposite team from the "Left Field Lounge" then feeds them with heaping plates of freshly grilled food when the game ends. Both colleges & commentators from around the country enjoy coming to Mississippi State for the electric experience of The Dude, featuring extremely large crowds, cowbells when allowed and smoke wafting from grills creating wonderful food. High rise apartments for baseball weekend rental have balconies looking out on Right Field. Statues of Bulldog legends, such as Will Clark & Rafael Palmeiro, stand outside the entrance The fan base at Mississippi State is legendary for its love of baseball. They drive or fly long distances to follow our Diamond Dawgs. The closest the team has played to me was the 2013 Super Regional at UVA. I spent the weekend in Charlottesville loving the opportunity to watch my Bulldogs sweep the Cavaliers. But there is no post season game location better than The Dude. The many College World Series the team has participated in have drawn large crowds from both Starkville and graduates and fans from across the country. The Bulldogs won the College World Series in 2021 by defeating fellow SEC powerhouse Vanderbilt. The team has sent many players to both the Minors & Major League Baseball. I enjoy following our grads on television, some of whom I have watched in person during their professional career. I've taken my Grandson to the ballpark in Brooklyn to watch and meet one of our Bulldog legends Jake Magnum, who now play for Pittsburgh. Jordan Westburg played for the Norfolk Tides before reaching our Baltimore Orioles. I'm sorry to report that The Dude wasn't built until after I graduated. My roommates & I watched the game from a much smaller ballpark. I especially enjoyed cheering on a group of starters that I tutored through Music Appreciation in 1967. What fun it was! Regardless of your college affiliation you will enjoy tuning your television to watch a game at The Dude. You won't regret it.

This stadium has seen some great players during it's history--Will Clark, Rafael Palmeiro, Jeff Brantley, and Bobby Thigpen just to name a few. It is the epicenter of a baseball school that consistently sends players into Major League Baseball. In addition to the high caliber baseball played at the stadium, Dudy Noble holds most of the all-time attendance records for the college game. With a capacity for 15,000 fans to attend, DNF creates a unique chance for a college ballplayer to experience a big crowd. The history and tradition are second to none. John Grisham has written about the uniqueness of DNF. One of my favorite experiences is seeing a player from another school step on to the field and get chills from the noise of the fans. In the tradition of good sportsmanship, the Bulldog supporters will feed the players after the game is over. Tailgating in the "Lounge" is another tradition that defines Dudy Noble. Fans will bring in grills and cookout all game long. At times, the smoke can wander onto the field and create a bit of a fog. The players do not typically mind as it is a reminder of the food waiting to greet them later. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Starkville in the spring, please go to a baseball game. Dudy Noble Field is full of passionate fans who really know the game and will overwhelm you with hospitality. The baseball is quite good too!
