re: Gator fan coming to visit, wants to maximize the experience.

Coming from NOLA, get off at Dalrymple exit, take a right onto Dalrymple nd head into campus. Stop off at Chimes and the Varsity at the north end of Campus (on Highland road) and walk down Chimes street where there are a few bars and restaurants. Check out the tailgating around the parade ground area, the Indian Mounds, etc. Take the walk down Stadium Drive and see the Tiger band and players walk down a couple of hours before the game. Mike the Tiger habitat is right down the hill and right north of Tiger Stadium.

There should be lots of good food and likely lots of gator cooking for this weekend. It'll be high energy and lots of fun. You may get some Tiger Baits , but just give them a cheers. As someone mentioned, bring some extra beer or drink-- that never hurts.

Have a good time
