I am thinking about going this year. Would yall recommend it? Never been. I have a white and yellow helmets. Cant decide which one to bring. What yall think? Is there a limit to how many items you can bring? Is there a method yall use to get more autographs if lines move too slow? Thanks

If you are bringing a kid or you are 17 years of age and younger its completely okay. If you are 18+ and going alone then no.. its not okay.

Yes, I love it, bring the kids!

I'd do yellow only because none of these players have ever worn a white helmet. Hell, most of them likely don't even know they exist.

No, but each player can only sign one item per fan. You can't get Chad Jones to sign a baseball and mini helmet at the same time unless you go through his line twice.

I go after the top freshman every year, their lines are short. That way when they become seniors and All Americans, you don't have to fight their line.

Why is it not ok to get autographs if you are older than 18? Everybody loves autographs.

Because its college kids. I have classes with some of these guys... I couldn't see going to an event just to get their autograph but that is just my perspective.

I guess you are just not a big enough tiger at heart.

My whole purpose is not really for my enjoyment besides a conversation piece with other Tiger fans who enter my home, but my main purpose is creating a bond to share with my Son, who is now 2, and eventually pass it on to him to share the same bond with his kids. One day I'd like to tell him the story about Jacob Hester and how great he was, then show him Jacob's signature on a football from the National Championship season.

Those moments are priceless and makes going to fan day worth the trip.

I can respect that.. I guess I am referring to the guys who take it to extreme.

Sure it's ok but you may not get many autographs unless they revamp the layout for fan day.

Instead of multiple lines they need to have a single line with the most popular players at the end along with coach Miles. That way, when the line stalls everyone has someone to talk to while they wait in line

Alot of adults go and get autos. Looks good in LSU "Man Caves", friends who come over head right to helmets and love to look at and talk about autos and the Tigers. Last year they were broke up into 2 groups of each position. Once you got to the players you got 4-7 autos of players of a position like RB. My friends and i got 20 to 35 autos each. Good luck.

Get there early.Line will be long out side.Lines real long for Miles. This year you will have 11/2hours over 1 hour last year. They also going to open it up and make the area larger.
