re: First time visitor to TS

There will be plenty of tailgates with TV's for you to catch the game. You shouldn't have too much of an issue ubering to campus that morning. My suggestion, if you and your friends are up to it, is to hit up one of the bars after the game and wait for traffic to die down before trying to uber back.

Chimes, Walkons, Barcadia, Mellow Mushroom are all within walking distance of the stadium and would be good places to grab a bite to eat and a few drinks while traffic dies down.

Another option is to try to catch one of the shuttles that shuttles people to downtown parking garages. I've never used them, so someone that has might be able to chime in, but I've seen shuttles that take fan from the stadium to some parking garages downtown. If you can hop on one of those, you'll options for restaurants/bars to hang out at before heading back to the hotel.
