re: Vandal coming to Baton Rouge

Prepare yourself for something you've never seen.

Try hotels on Constitution in BR, maybe they'll have a room available.

On gameday, get a parking spot fairly early, it'll more than likely be a night game so I'd get a parking place around 10-11ish, then walk to the stadium.

Go by Mike's House and say hi. Make sure you see the players and the band walk down the hill. This is a must.

Wear your gear and just walk up to people's tailgates. For the most part, you'll find welcoming and generous people (despite the few that will take shots at you on here). Most will offer you food and drinks.

Also, you're going to get "tiger baited" several times. Take it with a smile and don't be a jerk when it happens, again, most people will tiger bait you and then offer you beers.

You'll want to come back!
