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.

Day game on TV means there will be quite a few tickets for sale at the stadium. Just look around and wait until close to kickoff.

Allow yourself plenty of time, as parking will definitely be an issue.

Walk up to a tailgate, explain you're rom Colorado and have never been to an LSU game. Enjoy the free food and drinks. Ask where Mike's cage is. About 2 hours before kick off, go down the street of mikes cage and wait for the band to come down. Enjoy your chills.

Best piece of advice, wear Colorado Univ or your favorite schools gear ( as long as it isn't another SEC school). People will bend over backwards to make sure you have a good time.

Make it early morning. As in EARLY.
Tickets won't be an issue. Check out the Ticket Exchange on this board too. Some people asking "too much" but there are some good deals.

Come watch the band pass down victory hill. Generally, there are several tickets for sale in that area, especially after tha band passes.

All the advice given to you has been good.... But to reiterate what a poster told you earlier in this thread... If your waiting till Sat Am to drive in, make it EARLY Sat Am.....especially for what we consider an early game here....2:30 pm....

I appreciate all of the advice. It sounds like an amazing gameday experience.

Leave NOLA early, I'd take the Acadian/Stanford exit and park near the sorority/fraternity houses. Walk around Highland Rd, along Dalrymple Dr and the Parade Grounds. You will be invited to join tailgates.
Get there early

I'm a Boulder guy, lived there for a decade. Here's some advice. Get to campus no later than 9 am, before 8 would be better. Head to the Indian Mounds area. Just walk up to various tailgates that fit your demo and tell them your story. They will feed you and water you. The advantage of being near the Indian Mounds is you can watch the LSU team get off the us and go down the hill followed by the band. If you get tickets be in your seats about 40 minutes prior to kickoff to see all the cool video and watch the band.

Check ticket hawks near Mike's Cage on NW side of stadium. Bargain hard and talk em down. Just note any 500 or 600 section tickets are in upper decks. Sometimes you can get row 1-2 tickets in lower bowl for cheap but you are at field level and have people standing in front of you a lot - there are jumbotrons and you will be in ground zero of the arena though...

Like other have said, do yourself a huge favor and leave NOLA for seven. I'm leaving my house at seven and I live in BR. The traffic/parking gets exponentially worse every minute after nine.

Come back and tell us about your experience next week.
