re: 1st Trip to Red Stick, Need Pointers

There are others who will be in a better position than me to offer advice on things like the best restaurants and bars. But I can weigh in on a couple of things:

First - how hard do you think it'd be to scalp 4 tickets together? I've checked the TD Tix Exchange, ebay, craigslist and haven't found any tickets in our budget. Don't wanna risk scalping if you guys think it'll be impossible to find 4 together. Trying to spend $100-125/ticket. Is that budget crazy low or reasonable?

That budget is not crazy low at all. It is always best to wait until closer to game time as the prices tend to go down. (This is harder to do with a wife as they can tend to get nervous about not getting a ticket). Try to avoid the "youths" on bicycles and sometimes walking who are obviously carrying out an act of capitalism. (unless you don't find any others and it's right before game time). As the poster above said, 2 together is easier to get than 4.

As far as the game day experience - walk around the campus. Go to Mike's cage. Definitely watch the team and the band come down the hill. If you wear your colors you may get "Tiger baited" a bit but that is usually a good conversation starter and heck you might even get invited to a tail gate or two (again others can speak on that better than me).

Oh - almost forgot. If you are planning on getting there real early (before noon?) you could well find some of the free lots still with space.

Enjoy.
