we are all in our mid 30's
Then I’d stay away from Tigerland. It’s just a bunch of underage to 21 year olds. It stops being fun real quick once you graduate. Chimes is a good time and fairly good food Friday night. And it’s near campus so you’ll start to get a sense of things. Happy’s downtown is usually a decent time if you’re trying to go out but don’t want to be surrounded by 17 year olds. Not really sure what you guys are going for or how crazy y’all are trying to get for your boy’s bachelor trip.
But all the advice for the tailgates is correct. Just stop and say hi and tell them you’re out of towners. For most of us it’s a point of pride to show people a good time.

I just helped my buddy plan their bachelor trip for Auburn where they stayed in NOLA then came up for the game and I can share with you what I told them and feedback.
I'll update when I'm back at my computer but I'll tell you right now, Shaq/DJ Diesel is $120 per person and although it's fun it will be a very long night and you'll have a very long Saturday if you stay up to see him play.

Better Than Ezra outdoor show at L’Auberge. No bachelor party concludes without some casino action
Agreed. Whether you like BTE or not, they're part of Tiger tradition for those of us in our 40s. LSU Alumni, decent show, and the casino is pretty decent compared to your average riverboat

As mentioned Friday night do as you please. L'Auberge is fun and Better Than Ezra is a good band. DJ Diesel is a lot of fun too, he plays almost exclusively hardstyle.
Saturday: Rouse's should still have foam disposable coolers for cheap. You can grab two and some ice and load up with whatever you want to drink. You can go hard liquor or beer. Recommend local beer from the following, since it's always fun to try local brews:
Urban South
Tin Roof
Agile
Rally Cap
Gnarly Barley
Parish
Park by the UREC and work your way to the LSU Bookstore. Possibly buy some merch. You'll be across the street from the LSU Parade Grounds and you'll see quite a bit. At some point around 4pm you'll want to make your way to Victory Hill which is just behind the Indian Mounds. The band will march and perform there before going to the PMAC.
I will shamelessly push @zrau and his tailgate. They charge $5 for food, $10 for food & beer, while occasionally handing out shots from time to time. Dude can COOK. I believe they're making alligator sauce piquant that day, but I could be wrong.

These guys stopped in my tailgate for some food and drink sat, looked like they were having a good time. Can we get a post game report? What did you like, not like? Best part?

Sorry for the late update here - thanks for the friendly nudge Helmethead
I cannot thank all of you enough for the great advice! It was truly a weekend for the record books.
Went out to The Chimes on Friday and had some great food and drinks upstairs and got to watch the Aztec basketball game. Unfortunately we blew it against BYU but really enjoyed the vibes.
Saturday was incredible. Got dropped off at the parade grounds with a rolling cooler with about 80 beers/seltzers and just started cruising the campus.
As recommended, most of us donned the red and black of SDSU and were lucky enough to run into a couple of people from San Diego who were tailgating, a few fans of SDSU from their time at the final 4, and plenty of legit tailgates, the likes of which we do not see in Southern California. We got probably 6 or 7 people who recognized my post
Everyone we ran into was so hospitable offering us drinks, food, and advice for what to do next.
Helmethead and his wife were no exception. The true epitome of southern hospitality. My buddy, who is pescetarian, appreciated the fried fish and the mushrooms were incredible! Thank you so much for welcoming in our group and telling us all about your setup and the traditions at LSU.
It was great learning about how long people have been tailgating in particular locations and all the planning and preparation that go into it. I tip my hat to all of y'all for the dedication and execution.
We got to check out Mike the Tiger and saw the band and team march down Victory Hill.
We also enjoyed singing along to "neck" at every opportunity and I've had "Callin Baton Rouge" on repeat for the past 2 weeks.
Top all that off with one of the best performances by a QB in NCAA history and you have an amazing day.
I jokingly told my wife that I might forgo my SDSU season tickets and just throw that money towards coming out to LSU for a game every year.
Thanks again for all who responded and everyone who said whats up during our trip around campus. The bachelor had the time of his life and thanked me for being so prepared and I owe a lot of those tips to everyone here and this board in general.
