Good to know, seeing as I'll be visiting memphis this year.

Yeah, I'm fully expecting someone to die this year that is totally unforeseen. If you like a character, expect that they very well may die.

I understand your idea, but in Memphis, that's not the case. The downtown area around Beale does have a bunch of places to each, but not a single one holds a candle to the Rendezvous' ribs. Most of the mom and pop hole in the wall joints aren't downtown and you'd have to double check with a local to see if it's really worth traveling into that portion of town just to get a taste.

I agree it's a tourist trap, but there's also a reason that nearly every celebrity that hails from Memphis says to go there, has been served by request to numerous Presidents aboard AF1. Yea, it's sometimes hit and miss, but even the misses are still awesome.

Look at that, hard evidence. Comparing overall attendance is definitely really hard, as football as a fraction of the total attendance but more than double the per-game total. I think that looking at stadium numbers probably favors hard-core fandom over total cultural permeance, but it's certainly not the worst placeholder measurement. The %capacity line makes a strong case, thanks for pointing these out.

Seems to me that the opportunity for a high school player to get noticed by colleges is better than ever, even without satellite camps.

This wasn't about getting noticed or general exposure. This was about specific large schools or conferences getting an advantage in recruiting.
