Looking for advice

Hello , I’m looking for some help and hospitality from fellow college football fans. I am a school counselor and football coach in Eastern Washington ( far from Seattle geography and many other ways as well ??). Think farm lands and open spaces with hunting and fishing… my bucket list included a trip to watch an SEC game in person and see first hand the fun and excitement. My daughter and son in law got stationed at an Air Force base in Louisiana, and have an uncle that played football at LSU in the early 60’s, and had access to season tickets that have been in the family for over 70 years so LSU vs bama seemed like a no brainer. I’m so excited to head down there next week but only have a few days to take it all in. The kids are driving out for the game and my wife and I are flying in Wednesday to New Orleans and headed to Baton Rouge Friday mid day.
What are must see and do things for us ? Any especially fun tailgating places to go through ?
Thanks for any help you have and we can’t wait for this experience
