Georgia at Alabama weather update; ticket prices fall
The SEC football game between Georgia and Alabama is proceeding despite concerns over remnants of Hurricane Isaias. While weather conditions may impact the passing game, stadium drainage systems are expected to mitigate field issues.
Why it matters
High-profile college football games have significant economic impacts on local tourism and secondary ticket markets.
The SEC showdown between Georgia and Alabama could experience some weather effects, but not as drastic as some feared when Hurricane Isaias was racing toward the Gulf Coast.
The AccuWeather forecast for the 7:30 p.m. kickoff (TV: ABC) between the teams at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, calls for temperatures in the mid-60s with cloudy skies and a 20-25 percent chance of rain and winds between 7 to 16 miles per hour.
Alabama adds odd throwback twist to offense, looks to confuse Georgia That said, there’s a possibility wind gusts could affect the passing game plans of Georgia and Alabama, which rank No. 1 and No. 2 in the nation in scoring, the Bulldogs at 51.4 points per game, the Tide averaging 49.6 points per game.
