Hey everyone. WVU fan here. My wife and I are making our first trip to Baton Rouge for the game on Saturday. I thought this might be a good place to get some food recommendations? Also - where’s the best place to park? Are there any buses to the stadium? Any other tips to get the full experience?
Thanks in advance. Can’t wait to experience Saturday night in Death Valley! We will be cheering on the Tigers.

Arrive early, wear you WV gear, prepare your liver.

Ruffinos, Walton’s, Chimes
Wear your WVa gear. Prepare to get there before 8 to park. Look at LSUsports.net for parking around campus.

DON'T make the mistake thinking you can get there at 5...get there at noon or 1, enjoy the amazing atmosphere, and I hope ya'll have a great time. WELCOME to Death Valley!

Parking Map ...for you, look for the purple lots....walk a lots
Just to the right of the stadium, The Quad, is where ESPN Gameday will setup.

Pasttime has good food and they run buses to/from the stadium several times starting I think at 3 pm. Google it and get directions as well as a brief history of the place. It’s been there 100 years and still going strong.

Walk around in WV gear as others have said. You’ll take some ribbing but plenty of folks will offer some grub and booze while they give you a hard time.

Eat at the chimes either the Friday before or the sunday after. It's a can't miss meal but it's hell trying to eat there on gameday

Get there before noon...I say someone will see you in the WVU gear and welcome you to their tailgate and offer you plenty of food for lunch...if youd rather go to a place and sit and eat I say Walk Ons or Chimes. Make sure you check out Mike's Tiger cage and be on the bottom of Victory Hill outside the stadium and the Pmac when the team and band March in...defiently need to see that! If I see a guy wondering around in WVU gear I'll flag you down ha! Enjoy and GEAUX TIGERS!!!

Are you sure you want to come in for the game?
LSU-Alabama matchups at night in Tiger Stadium are insane.
Both teams in the top 3. GameDay will be on campus too.
It will spoil every football game you go to for the rest of your life.
Whoever you're rooting for, win or lose, nothing will live up to the experience in this type of environment.

If you do not want to be their all day, they have shuttle buses that start running three hours before game time, that you can catch at several locations.
I think it is called Touch Down Express but not sure. You can google if interested. Enjoy

It all depends a lot on where you are staying. Regardless, your best bet is to park downtown and take a shuttle to the game around noon so you'll have time to see/do everything everyone here is suggesting.
And plan on going to the Chute. It's cool as hell.

Pace yourself. It’s a long haul on a night game.

Go line up to watch the team march down victory hill.
Def do this. It's really cool. Once the band passes you can then walk down the hill too toward the stadium.
Go eat at Chimes. I like Parrains and Louisiana Lagniappe also.

If you want the full experience, get there early and bypass eating out. Get ready to walk and make sure you wear your WV gear. You will get ragged on a little but respected for representing. If you take everything in good fun and roll with it you will be treated to lots of delicious food and beverages throughout the day. The reputation will preceed itself as Tigers fans are amongst the rowdiest but also have legendary hospitality. Catch the gameday area early, mingle with people, walk around the camping/tailgating area and you will no doubt be treated to a fine day. Tiger Stadium will be absolutely rocking Sat night, you couldnt have picked a better time. Im pretty jealous knowing what youre walking into for the first time having experienced it quite often.
