Should we stay near the football stadium?

A group of us responded to an ad in the Reveille for a hotel in Columbia for an LSU game in the mid-80’s. The ad said it was 1/4 mile to the stadium and an easy walk but that turned out to be total BS. The hotel staff just shrugged.

Had a good time at the game - fans seemed friendlier than most SEC venues. I think the game ended in a tie?

After the game, we went to a place for wings. We ordered a hot variety but these were inedible…like something from a food challenge. We were drunk and ate most of them anyway and took some to go. I tried a wing the next morning to see if it was the same sober and it was excruciating. The restaurant definitely spiced up the wings for the LSU fans but we took it in stride.
