If we don't score on our opening drive in the second half go ahead and leave so you can beat traffic

The weather channel says you will only hit 32 on Oct. 5th and are in the 60's during the daytime. You are one of those truth stretching baws,

You also said you are coming with your girlfriend. Pictures are now required to see if it is true. It will also help LSU fans recognize you during tailgating.

It looks like it will be fun. Are you allowed to drink in the stadium? I am thinking of bringing some real liquor... I mean Canadian booze for people to try while we are tailgating.

No liquor or beer sold in stadium. Many people smuggle in a tanker or two.

See link below for a lot of other stuff you asked about

LSU Fan Info

Team march and band procession will be on north end of stadium. You will see the barricades on the street.

Clear bag ... or a small clutch 4.5 x 6.5 per "rules". NO BACKPACKS BUT I saw plenty of people with them at the last game.

Shorts and shirt should be fine.

Game day time line will come out Friday ... check back.

I'd suggest:

-Drinks and food at The Chimes (up around the Visitor's Center on map)

-Grab a beer or two at Slinky's (around the Visitor's Center on map)

-Walk through the Greek ampitheatre and through LSU's quad (3 and 6 on map)

-Stop by the numerous tailgates on Field House Drive (Lockett Hall -- in between 4 and 6 on map). From there, you'll see the roundabout and Indian Mounds. That's the best spot to see the band and team march to the stadium.

What part of Canada are you from? Have some friends in Saskatoon that are supposed to come later this year.

If you need spot to call home base for Sat, just let me know. We set up right by Indian Mounds and band passes right by us. Not far from Stadium either.

You could argue that Tiger Stadium is going to have a lot more energy Saturday night than it would've had the change not been made.

Are we allowed to bring backpacks and purses into the stadium?

Clear bags only. They will sell them on campus.

quote:

Where can we go to see the team come down the hill?

North side of the stadium, just follow the crowds.

What are some pre-game festivities we should check out?

As others have said, go see Mike, tour the campus, enjoy the tailgating.

What will the temperature be like for a night time game? ( We have snow and 32 degree weather where I am from at this time of the year.)

It wont be this. Look for 70s falling into the 60s. Comfortable for SELA.

Enjoy yourself! There will be a lot of energy on campus surrounding the changes. I'm taking my 5 year old to her first game and I'm pumped.

You said it was Edmonton. I believed you. Edmonton is "The Prairies". You are not on a mountain.

I married a crazy Canadian from BC. She absolutely loved Saturdays at Tiger stadium.

Carry your Maple Leaf flag around as a conversation starter and you will easily get invited into tailgates.

Wear this for a sure thing:

I have a feeling the place is going to be pretty electric early on.

And if the offense gets going right away and the defense dominates, that place is going to blow up.
