Coming from Baltimore for my first LSU game this weekend. Any advice on where to eat, drink, what to see would be appreciated.

Thanks

How does one even begin to answer this question? Here are just a few suggestions:

(1) Go to the Chimes on Friday night, or at some point during your visit;

(2) Visit Mike the Tiger's enclosure to witness the regal beast in the flesh. He's awesome, literally awe inspiring;

(3) Watch the team and the band march down the hill;

(4) Stroll about campus and explore the various tailgating venues. It's the best aspect of game day, even for an accursed 2:30 PM kickoff. Be friendly, explain your situation, and I can guarantee that you will be overwhelmed with beer, food, and hospitality;

(5) Be in your seat early to experience pre-game, especially the four corner salute.

(6) Contribute to the noise. Even as an out of town visitor, you will be expected to do your part to make Death Valley deafening for the Gators.

Oh, and drink some bourbon. This is LSU, after all.

Eat at Mike Anderson's if there in time Friday night. Get to campus early and walk around especially the RV losts on south side.

Any other ideas?

What brings you for this game in particular? Do you have anyone to meet up with to tailgate? I also assume you'll be sporting some "Fear the Turtle" swag.

If you're coming down here to convince us to take Crowton back, you'll be out of luck.

Take the time to walk around in Touchdown Village and you will see tailgating at its finest!

The number one thing is don't be in a hurry to do anything! Just take your time and enjoy one of the greatest college atmospheres in the country.

Friday- Definitely go have some drinks and eat at Mike Anderson's! Awesome food

Saturday- Get to campus early, expect to pay $40 if you want to park closer to the stadium. Walk around and enjoy the scenery and the tailgates. Talk to the fans and tell them you are visiting from Baltimore, they will bombard you with hospitality. Get the stadium 1hr to 45min before kickoff and wear GOLD and be loud every defensive down!!!!

Sunday- You will want to sleep, especially if you party all day and night after the game!
