Any tailgaters willing to welcome out-of-towners?

Hi all,
My brother and I are from the Midwest (Big10 country), and we do an annual trip each year to a different college football stadium. We've been looking forward to LSU for a lot of years, and we're finally making it happen this year. We booked the trip at the beginning of the season when when outlook was sunnier, but we're looking forward to it regardless. Can't be worse than our Badgers!
We are hoping some of you fine folks might be tailgating Saturday morning and that you wouldn't mind letting us join you! We're in our 30s, friendly, and will come equipped with libations. Any takers? We'll also take any local recommendations you have for game day.

If nobody specifically responds to invite you to a personal tailgate, I'd suggest walking up north stadium drive past the stadium to the roundabout. At the roundabout, look across the street and slightly left and you will see a group of multiple tailgates setup under some oak trees. That is a pretty dense spot of good tailgating. From that area, you will see and hear the band walk down victory hill. Its very close to the stadium so you will be able to maximize your tailgating time prior to kickoff. Just introduce yourself to any tailgate in that area and you will be hosted well. 
ETA - last time we played Arkansas at home, a tailgate in that area roasted a whole hog

If you bring some who are equipped with labias, you might get more invites.

This is helpful, thank you!

If you walk up to 90% of LSU tailgates and tell that story, you'll be welcome with open arms and ice chests.

Sounds like you guys have already booked your trip but it's a totally different experience on campus and especially in Tiger Stadium between a damn noon day game and a night game. You will still have a great time, just won't see TS when the sun goes down and it really starts to rock.
As mentioned, just stop at a couple tailgates, introduce yourself and enjoy.

Unfortunately, you won’t be getting the full experience due to the early kickoff and all of the shenanigans going on around the program. However, you’ll still have a good time and can learn something for coming back to a big night game.
I’d almost guarantee that anyone you talk with would welcome you to their tailgate.

Since you already had this trip booked, you should let it serve as an appetizer for your Tiger Stadium experience. Come back in a few years when we're good, or at least hopeful, and get the main course.

We were definitely hoping for a night game, but no such luck. Will be fun anyway!

My group will be out there around 3AM to start our cochon de lait (smoked pig). We don't plan on sleeping if you catch my drift. We are on Skip Bertman Dr just east of the Vet School.
Like others have mentioned, the kick time is not ideal to get the full experience of tailgaiting and Tiger Stadium at night, but it is not stopping us!
Wear your Wisconsin gear and you'll be welcomed in by most!

The first reply to you is the one to listen to. Or go to the South Side of the Stadium, got the RV lots and do the same. Be friendly. Offer to pay (you won't need it). Don't be a weirdo. Tell them your story. It's unfortunate we have nothing to play for so early in November, but you'll still get the hospitality. Enjoy. TS is a sight to behold for any first time. I took my son earlier this year. His first comment when we walked in, "Dad, it's humongous".
