Thanks, everyone, for all the good info. I had heard about the band coming down the hill too. When does this happen, and can it be seen from inside the stadium, or should I stay outside.

I'd also like to check out the band inside the dome, so finding a TAF member will be a priority. I hope ESPN decides to go somewhere else, they are so annoying.

One things for sure, I will be in Baton Rouge as early as possible, ditching the car as close as I can and walking the rest of the day.

Thanks again for all the good advice.

Maybe park the car someplace else in town and PM me for my ph number, I own a Taxi and can get you where you need to be, I also can suggest any place you want and get you there.

Give me a way to contact you. We have a big tailgate party close to the stadium if you want to hang out.

Coming from N.O. I'd take Hwy 30, SECOND Gonzales exit, RIGHT off the interstate & then LEFT back under it. Stay on Hwy 30 all the way down. This will lead you straight to Tiger Stadium with no turning off on other streets. Drive down as close as you can get to the stadium, then U-turn & park facing the way you came in to make getting out easier. It mite be a good walk depending on what time you get there but it is an easy access to & out of the stadium, minus the normal game traffic. The band usually comes down between 4:00 & 4:30 but the crowd forms early if you want a good view. And, it is right by Mike's cage but he is loaded into his trailer early. Where Game Day will be set up is a good walk but you'll find all the tailgating food & drinks you want on the way. Enjoy the Quarter but the bars never close..

The band marches down the hill approx. 2 hours before kickoff.
