Advice for my 2 girls first game

Definitely bring them to see mike

If you're gonna be on the bleachers, get the chairback thingies you put on them.

Go to ULM game so they can see how easy it is to go to a game. Great games are not appreciated by 8 year olds but the massiveness of the Stadium and pregame stuff will all be the same, but easier to see.

If it must be a non-conference, you'll want to take them to the New Mexico State game on September 27th... Hopefully by then it isn't still too damn hot.
Try to get tickets that won't be in the sun the whole time if you can.

Otherwise, Kentucky on 10/18 or Ole Miss on 10/25 would be reasonably priced, pretty good SEC home games. We're probably gonna win the Kentucky game... and should win vs Ole Miss.
But you'll have a better idea by the start of October of how good the team is.

Or.... you can take them to the best game experience on the face of the Earth...
A night game ( hopefully ) vs Bama on 11/8.


Things to do:
- Walk around and let people know it's their first game. Tailgaters love to make a positive influence on kids. Full red carpet experience.
- Show them around campus.
- Roll down the Indian mounds.
- See Mike... if you get there earlier in the day, he might still be out and about.
- See the band come down the hill before the game.

- Have fun. Congrats on being a great parent.

The girls are 10 and 8 and they are very excited.

Things to see way before game;

Students and fans at Parade Grounds.
Maybe the RV world around Touchdown village
Some kid activities at the PMAC
Mike the Tiger Cage - get there early if they are taking him in the stadium he may not be there closer to game time.
Drum Corps warm ups at amphitheater (someone else mentioned this in prior post)

Pregame countdown:
2:45 before kickoff - Tiger Walk down Victory Hill
20 min later - TGBFTL march down Victory Hill to the PMAC.
30-40 min before kickoff get to your seats for and get kids concessions. watch final warmups. Somewhere in here Mike VI will be paraded around the field. Note that prior to his parade his trailer is parked in the walkway to the visitor's dressing room for max effect.
15:00 before kickoff (voted best pregame in CFB)TGBFTL marches on to field.
3:00 to kickoff The Tigers come out the dressing room

0:00 KO! You are on your own now!

whichever game you go to if you look on LSUSports.net they will publish the pregame countdown with a lot more detail than I listed and probably more accurate.

I made the same call on the non-conference game for my daughter's first Tiger Stadium experience, since I wanted to be 100% sure it'd be a night game.

Prepare yourself for the possibility that their first LSU game might not be, for them, as special and memorable as our first game was for us.
