Evening! Thanks to everyone that responded to my post 2 weeks ago, especially LSU Tigerhead, Tigrlee, Tigerbait46, LA Birdman, and my fellow Wahoos that responded.

My son and I are VERY PUMPED and can't wait to get there. Some of you told me that the tailgating was pretty good down there and were kind enough to ask us to stop by Saturday and to gety with you on this board. Where are ya'll gonna be?

I was wondering if you were still coming to the game! You're going to be blown away!

We usually hang out near the softball field when we first get there (it's on the north part of campus, just north of the PMAC). But then we start wandering around.

I'll be looking for you! You're gonna be wearing a UVA shirt?

Birdman, UVA shirt and LSU hat. We are staying at Staybridge suites near the stadium. Where are you in relation to that?

I'll be looking for you.

We park on the other side of where you will be coming from. Looks like your hotel is south of the stadium. Ours is the opposite.

But we should be there around 10 am or before that, just so we can get a spot to watch the players and the band walk down the hill. Like I said, I just start wandering around shortly after we get there. When I pick out a spot, it's usually right in front of gates 8 or 9 on the north side of the stadium. There's always a little hot dog place set up there, a pizza place, I'm usually around that. The PMAC (big UFO looking thing) is right across the street. I like staying there because when the band gets there, you're blasted with the horn section. If you're up at the top of the hill, you don't hear it as well, IMO.

Anyway, that's about where I'll be hanging out.

Cool, man! Please do.

Also, there's a big oak tree right behind the hot dog, pizza places, etc. I'm always right around there. On the Tiger Stadium side of the street. I'm going to be wearing a gold shirt, purple will be too hot. I'm not the tallest guy, 5'7, but if I see a guy with an LSU hat on a UVA shirt, it's probably you. I'll say hi!

You will only be disappointed with wine and cheese on "The Lawn" and the only loud on 3rd down in Scott Stadium when you return to UVA.

I'm not certain. If I had to guess, I'd say 1215-12:30 for the players, about 45 min later for the band.

There's a site I check out daily that will have the times either tomorrow or on Saturday. Check it out if you like.

He always posts times of interest before home games. He's a HUGE Tiger fan. I really admire the guy.

Players arrive for the perp walk at the top of Victory Hill 2 hrs before kickoff. Band follows about an hour and twenty minutes before kickoff at same place.
