1st Time at LSU Tailgate

Where are you from? Where your teams shirt, say where you're from, you'll get more drinks and food than you can imagine.

Minnesota, so we could definitely wear Gopher gear. We just weren't sure if that would be frowned upon or a conversation starter. Thanks for the feedback so far.

1st Time at LSU Tailgate

---

Advice:

1. I'd get to campus as early as possible. For a 2:30pm game, I'd suggest as early as 8am, but certainly before 10am. This will allow you to wander around campus, see a few tailgates, Mike the Tiger, the band marching down the hill, and get inside the stadium early enough to experience all the pregame festivities.

2. Wear an outfit to denote you're from out of town (just not Auburn apparel). Whether it's a college or pro team, LSU fans love when football fans from around the country travel just to experience an LSU game day.

3. It's a veteran move to BYOB. LSU fans will certainly feed you if you're polite, introduce yourself and strike up a conversation, but generosity only extends so far. Don't be a mooch and bring your own booze.

Definitely Duck Duck Grey Duck when you're a MN native

Not at all, conversation starter for sure.

Depends on how early you get down there and which direction you’re coming from

I'll have some Badger fans from Madison with me Saturday. We can compare SEC-Big 10 hate levels.

We're coming from the east probably sometime between 8 and 9.

because it is a day game, tailgating will be somewhat scaled back, but still pretty good. As far as the Uber, just have them drop you at the parade grounds, that way you can stay oriented by looking for the clock tower. fair warning, Uber will be a good way in, but traffic will be gridlock when leaving and if you can get an Uber, there will be some serious surge pricing. There are some hotels that have shuttles, so look into that if you can. logistics to and from the game will be your biggest hassle of the day. You may want to try to get picked up at walkons or something like that a little ways away from the stadium.

you will want to get to campus as early as you can manage, as the team comes down the hill a couple of hours before kickoff and you will need time to cruise the tailgates, etc.


ETA: I wouldn't bother trying to carry around a full ice chest of beer or anything like that, but if yall like wiskey, you may want to pop a flask in your pocket to have a drink while you walk around. with the game being early, there will only really be an hour or so to tailgate.
