HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Alabama A&M's road schedule finds the team in Houston, Atlanta and Baton Rouge, among other stops. But its fans with disposable income - key word: disposable - might want to keep the Bulldogs' season-opening journey in mind.Alabama A&M plays at Grambling on Aug. 31. It's a mere 65 miles west from Eddie Robinson Stadium to Sam's Town Casino, ranked by Tripadvisor.com as the top casino/hotel in Shreveport.
There's also the Eldorado and, in nearby Bossier City, the Horseshoe.
Fans who want to make a long Labor Day weekend of it can catch the comedian Sinbad on Sunday night at Sam's Town. Windstorm is playing Friday at Eldorado.
Closer to campus, fans may opt to stay at Monroe, 45 minutes away from Grambling but it's on the Huntsville side of Grambling. Dining options are relatively generic. Even more so at Ruston, but Ponchatoulas comes recommended for seafood and Cajun cooking, Dowling's for barbecue.
