Out of Towners Visiting for Auburn Game

My girlfriend and I live in Colorado, but are heading down to Louisiana this weekend. I've always been interested in seeing Tiger stadium and my boss is an LSU grad who told me how amazing the tailgating is before the games. We will be driving up from New Orleans on Saturday morning to check out Baton Rouge and I was hoping all of you Tiger fans could give me some tips on how to best enjoy the tailgating scene.

I would also be interested in cheap tickets to the game, but seeing as Auburn is in town, I don't have high hopes of finding any inexpensive tickets. All in all we just want to take in the atmosphere and enjoy ourselves. Thanks.
