re: Things to do in Birmingham

From the LSU Greater Birmingham Alumni Chapter's Facebook page:

"On Friday, Nov. 4th starting at 5 PM, Cajun Steamer is hosting an LSU-Alabama Pep Rally (mostly LSU) at the Patton Creek location in Hoover. The party will extend outside into the parking lot and include live music and happy hour specials. There will be lots of visiting Tiger fans in town for the game on Nov. 5th."

Patton Creek is accross the street from the Galaria in Hoover.

The night life in B-ham is pretty bland, but what little we have is at 5 Points South, which is 20th St S at 11th Ave S. This is mostly UAB people, but there were plenty of LSU folks last year on the Friday before the game.

Closer to the game, aparently the Dixie in Tuscaloosa is the designated LSU bar:

"Fred’s in Tigerland, Bogie’s, and The Dixie (formerly The Jupiter) team up to bring you the “Tigers Takeover Tuscaloosa”. The Dixie is bravely welcoming the LSU faithful to the Biggest Weekend of the College Football Season!!
