Allways stop by Chimes on Highland before the game...it will be packed, so get there early. If you walk around campus, there are tailgates set up for miles in each direction, so you'll find someone who'll offer you a beer and some food. They'll also have a TV set up so you can catch the scores.

My guess is that College Game Day will be there, so finding a place to park within 3 miles of campus will be impossible unless you're there before 8 or 9 AM.

Ask someone to direct you to the stadium and you'll find all the things you need to see around there. You can see the stadium or the Dome next to the stadium from most places around the campus, but if you're under a tree you might not see them.

Get there early to see the Band march down the hill...see Mike the Tiger there also.

If you can, find someone who's a TAF member and see if they let you go inside the Dome to hear the band play before the game...it's free for them to get you in so don't worry.


Just have fun but try to avoid the Piss Balloons if you are sitting in the lower bowl of the stadium...
