1. Tailgate around or w/LSU fans--
2. Watch coaches/team and LSU band march down victory hill before game
3. Be in your seat when the LSU band takes the field before kick-off--Don't miss the start of "Hold that Tiger"
4. Check out the LSU campus--quad, student union, parade ground, TAF tailgate at Maravich Assembly center before game, Mike's habitat
5. Go out to eat at Chimes, Walk-on's, Sammy's, etc to eat South Louisiana food

The view of Tiger Stadium from MRB then cut to the scenic drive up Highland road Coming from South(trickery but will look nice).

The State Capitol buildings old and new.

The local eateries chimes, sammys Highland. Walk-ons for pregame.

Mikes habitat
.Then Pmac for Pete and Shaq enthusiasts.

On way out of town Sunday. A local brunch at Parrains or Galatoires on Sunday after a game are a good time.

Alligator Bayou swamp tour
Tony's on Plank - outsiders will be blown away at the size of this seafood market and the fact that there is an indoor catfish pond where it's impossible to get fresher catfish. The fact that it's also the home of Louisiana
Take a couple of 12 packs of Abita into the tunnels below the Quad.
Old State Capitol

Well, you can't miss the poverty, trash on the roads and general unkempt conditions of roadways, bridges and overpasses. Unless you close your eyes when going through town.
All due to joint LDOTD and BR City/EBR Politician gross negligence and incompetence.

They plain and simply don't give a shite', nor do enough of the BR residents. If they did, these embarrassing conditions wouldn't be allowed to exist.

Classic example of the stereotypical "Louisiana" at its finest.

Has anyone mentioned Gaslite or El Cid yet? Top notch amenities at a price that's hard to beat.
