This is an epic (seriously, Hollywood level production) Christmas light show paired to the holiday music streaming on the radio of your car, and Hank Aaron Stadium knocked it out of the park! (See what I did there? Lol!) The show, the ease of navigating the layout, the directions, the innovation, the LIGHTS (my God -- the beautiful lights), the song selection, the comfort of enjoying from inside your vehicle and not freezing to death outside -- I loved all 20ish minutes of it! Everything was fabulous and like nothing I (nor the hubs) had every witnessed before! Mobile definitely knows how to put on a Christmas Light Show, and if you know like I know-- you'll grab your kid(s), grab $6 bucks per head over 3 yrs old, and get down to the stadium before the CNOL season ends. (Money more than well spent, trust me!) P.S. Keep your eyes peeled for Santa, he's there too!

It's great for Mardi Gras and holidays when the drop the moon pie. Just all around fun place to be.read more

This Festival is an annual event for the city of Mobile AL. While The first Moonpie Drop festival…read moreoccurred in 2007 (spearheaded by councilman Fred Richardson), the celebration of Mardi Gras started in Mobile Alabama in 1703. The reason the festival is called "Moonpie" is because the main things that the revelers throw from the floats during all Mardi Gras parades are moon pies. While it was not that way in the very begining, it has developed into a phenomenon. In New Orleans, the revelers throw mostly beads, trinkets and other non-edible things; while in Mobile, they throw beads, candy and other edible goodies. Speaking of New Orleans...most people think that Mardi Gras originated there. That is completely false. New Orleans did not begin to celebrate Mardi Gras until after the Civil War when a ,Prominent Mobilian introduced the concept to that city. So for Mobile, then the moon pie became the icon and the symbol for Mardi Gras. Sometime in early 2000s, councilman Fred Richardson came up with the great idea to have a celebration of the New Year in Mobile much like the celebration in New York City's Times Square. So his idea was to have a moon pie descend from the tallest building in the city of Mobile and let this be a countdown to the New Year. Hence, the moon pie drop over Mobile celebration was born. The first drop occurred in 2007 and it has grown to a really nice, family-friendly celebration . Usually, the 4-6 hour schedule includes, among other things, City dignitaries welcoming the crowd, giving a short history of the Celebration, cutting the World's largest Moonpie and joining the Historic Excelsior Band in a parade to the music stage, which is next to the beautiful, historic downtown park, Bienville Square (so named for one of the founders of the city of Mobile) about 4 blocks away. Then, some semi-popular band plays until about 11p and prepares the crowd for the feature entertainment. Generally, the featured band gets the crowd hyped for the countdown and the dropping of the Moonpie. Once the moonpie has finished its descent, Fireworks continue to mark the arrival of the New Year and the featured band continues to entertain the crowd. One really positive thing about the Moonpie Drop is the weather. Usually, Mobile's temperature on New Year's Eve is conducive to standing outside for hours on end. Even if the temperature is in the 30s or 40s, numerous downtown restaurants, bars and coffee shops open their doors on that night. It's just one big party..... that I've attended for the last 7 years. Mobile's finest in blue (city police) provide security and in a decade of the Celebration, I've never beard of any violence occurring there. So.....If you are planning to go South to escape the brutal cold elsewhere, this Celebration of the Moonpie Drop in Mobile, AL is worth a visit.

So apparently Hancock Whitney Stadium is the "4th best stadium in the country." I don't know what…read morecountry they're talking about -- maybe the country from Mad Max where everything's a wasteland -- but it's definitely not the one with actual functioning football venues. Calling this the 4th best stadium is like calling gas station sushi the 4th best meal in America. It's delusional, it's offensive, and it's probably dangerous to your health. The "amenities" include bleachers that feel like you're sitting on a punishment device from medieval times, a sound system that makes every announcement sound like Charlie Brown's teacher, and a scoreboard that looks like it was ordered off Craigslist. The atmosphere? Imagine a high school game where everyone's dad is yelling about "running the ball" while holding a warm Busch Light. That's the energy. Food? If you like paying $10 for nachos that taste like they were made during the COVID lockdown and stored under the bleachers since, you're in luck. I'll give it this -- it's probably the 4th best stadium in Mobile. And that's only because there are only 3 others.
