Vandal coming to Baton Rouge

Howdy
This Idaho Alum is traveling to cheer on my Vandals when they play they Mighty Tigers in September. There will be four of us coming for the game day experience since it most likely won't be a Vandal victory.
So I am looking for the local scoop on stuff to do and see while in town. I love food from the sea so I will take restaurant recommendations. We should be there 2-3 days before game day. Plus any invite to a real SEC tailgate; i'll even bring a beer or two.
Also any motel recommendations-it appears the hotels right next to LSU are already sold out.
Appreciate any info you will share with me.
Looking forward to the trip to experience what LSU and Louisiana has to offer.
Thanks

Looking forward to having you guys come check out BR and see a game in Tiger Stadium...if i could give you one recommendation for a restaurant it would defnitely be to have dinner at the Chimes one night...it is right on campus and has good food and atmosphere.
Oh yeah and

Aside from all the jabs youre gonna get from rantards, we all hope you have a good time in your visit to Baton Rouge besides getting your arse kicked on the football field.
As people have noted, go eat at The Chimes. It's off Highland Road an easy walk from the stadium. Take some time to walk around the campus and soak it all up. Maybe drive passed Alex Box (our baseball stadium) as it's one of the nicer ones in the nation.
Really anywhere you're gonna go, there will be people tailgating and since I'm willing to bet there won't be very many Idaho fans coming down for the game, I know you'll meet many LSU tailgaters wanted to chat football and feed you good food and beer/liquor.
Hope you enjoy your trip and

Do not make eye contact with our friends from north Baton Rouge
Posted on 7/13/12 at 10:02 pm to LSUEX1925
Yeah don't even go north of the LSU campus.. your chances of being shot,raped,mugged,stabbed increase 5% each step you take going north

Parrins is a great place to eat. Fantastic seafood. Also Acme Oyster House--get the char-grilled oysters. They will move the date of your first heart attack forward a month or two, but as you fall to the ground grasping your chest and trying to breathe your only wish will be to get back down here for more of those oysters.
Enjoy your time in Tiger Stadium. It's the best place in the world to see a football game. I may be a little biased, though.

The Chimes
Mike Anderson's
TJ Ribs
Sammy's Bar and Grill
Rufino's (if you don't mind spending money)
Pluckers
Cane's Chicken (I don't imagine they have these in Idaho, try the sauce and lemonade)
Raouls Cafe
Louie's
Theres a little place on Greenwell Springs road (use Google Maps, or GPS) called Jerry Lees. Get some boudin, cracklin, and hog head cheese. You won't regret it. It's a little far from the campus but it's the best boudin in town.
There are plenty of neat things around campus to see of course as well. Tailgating is gonna be a blast, eat everything you're offered and don't be afraid of the drinks.
Enjoy it my man, Tiger Stadium is awesome and I hope we have an alive crowd for the Idaho game. Tiger Stadium has been known lately to sorta sleep during these smaller games once the team gets up big.

Tons of great food, I'd invite you to my tailgate but you'd never find it without gps coordinance.
There will be world class SEC tailgates everywhere. We show the SEC how to tailgate. When you wear visitors clothing and are nice to people you can drink and eat at any tailgate.
Welcome. Get a shrimp poboy at Georges

Vandal, you've got balls to post here. You'll have a great time regardless. Say hello to folks, walk around during gameday and you'll eat and drink well. Get ready for the heat & humidity, cause it'll feel a lot different than the high plains of Idaho. Cheers

To really experience BR, hit up any waffle house or Ihop around midnight after the game. You will have stories to tell your folks back home

Are you seriously holding out hope? This is far, far from the Kibbie Dome my friend; five times as big and 10 times as loud.
I'll provide more help in a later post. Glad you'll be making the trip.

Wow you guys are awesome with the great feedback! We Vandals do have balls and aren't afraid of much after all we are from Idaho where we fend of wild animals just to get inside our homes. We are a polite crowd and great fanbase no matter what you might hear from Bozo State University errr...Boise State University.
We look forward to meeting as many LSU fans as possible that don't mind the "for lack of a better word" competition mingling about your stadium.
Looks like we have a lot to look forward too.
I am 30 give or take a year or two. Forgive me on this one but what the heck is a/s/l?
