I went two years ago as the supportive cousin. This is going to sound wild but many families are told to hang out in front of the house their PNM preffed as number one. Our PNM's mom couldn't believe it and was a wreck but thanks to some good alumni friends we knew in the house, they came and confirmed she was on the list for us. It was weird to me but that year they received their bids in Bryant Denny and ran from there......

Yeah, you might want to get someone to confirm that. If she gets her second choice that could not be so good when you are standing on #1's lawn to congratulate her.
Yeah, it was a real odd feeling but we heard it from multiple people. There are plenty of places you can "hang out" and see the girls run and not have to be parked on the front lawn. We kind of hovered on the very, very edge of the lawn to be safe!!!
I went to Alabama, and my mom and dad (and all of my friends' families, too) were waiting for me on the lawn of the house I preffed first..That is typically how it works - I don't think it has changed since I graduated 4 years ago. Usually girls have their cell phones to call their moms if it doesn't turn out that they get their first choice.
When I was there, girls opened their bids at the stadium and then ran to sorority row.
Bid Day is huge at Bama - quite an experience seeing all the girls running and screaming toward their new houses - and all the fraternity boys gawking! Go if you have the opportunity.
Stand near the traffic light on sorority row outside of the stadium entrance, and have your daughter call you on her cell phone and tell you where to meet her.
Guess I'm a little late chiming in considering Bid Day starts in about an hour. Why not have her call you on your cell phone? She doesn't even have to know you're in town.
