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

Coming from N.O. I'd take Hwy 30, SECOND Gonzales exit, RIGHT off the interstate & then LEFT back under it. Stay on Hwy 30 all the way down. This will lead you straight to Tiger Stadium with no turning off on other streets. Drive down as close as you can get to the stadium, then U-turn & park facing the way you came in to make getting out easier. It mite be a good walk depending on what time you get there but it is an easy access to & out of the stadium, minus the normal game traffic. The band usually comes down between 4:00 & 4:30 but the crowd forms early if you want a good view. And, it is right by Mike's cage but he is loaded into his trailer early. Where Game Day will be set up is a good walk but you'll find all the tailgating food & drinks you want on the way. Enjoy the Quarter but the bars never close..
