Going to my first one this Saturday, anybody up North here ever been? Want to take in all we can before (because the game itself won't be real good), Suggestions?

Should be fun. I know they fans get really into despite the lack of production on the field.

My buddy moved up there, and I was supposed to.... but couldn't swing it this year.

fricking grad school.

I was going to ask people to pass me the Grey Poupon.

Why do you say that? I watched last year's game on Versus and it was pretty good if I recall correctly.

Harvard-Yale Prank

I would love to attend "The Game". I would suggest getting out there early and taking it all in. Hopping around from tailgate to tailgate and getting the full experience?

You shouldn't have a problem getting a good seat. The game is never sold out.

I was thinking this movie was going to be awesome.... very wrong. Turned it off halfway through.

I watched a Harvard-Yale prank special and considering the Harvard fans snide remarks about the Yale students/grads as "not smart" and "dumb" and "intellectually challenged" - I doubt they'd be very complimentary to an SEC school.

I will definitely wear my LSU gear. Maybe the game might be good, but the football won't compared to what we all see on a weekly basis. I feel it's one of those things you have to go to once. Part of a sports bucket list. Bought the $8 tickets figuring we can easily move around, the place holds 61k! Plan on getting there early and bouncing around, just wasn't sure if there was anyone here who knew of a particular "spot" to hit.

About 90% of the Harvard students have never seen a football game. There is no football in Asia.
They all know what Starbuck's is. If you want to get an espresso be there at opening or there will be a long line in the snow.

Make sure you get a pic of you rubbing Harvard's boot on his seated statue. It's quite the thing. Very shiny.
