I've also heard you can't cook there, so basically you're stuck eating Walmart finger sandwiches and chicken tenders.
I need someone to remind me why this place is always mentioned in the same tailgating category as LSU? Can't be all because of chandeliers and flower arrangements, can it?

I don't go tailgating to eat.

You can't have an open flame. So propane and charcoal grills are out. You can prep food ahead of time and use warming trays to keep it hot.
When you get out here you'll understand why. Basically the entire campus worth of tailgating is crammed into an area roughly the size of the parade grounds. Tents are pretty much on top of each other, which would make it hard for emergency people to get somewhere if a fire broke out, and it would spread quickly. I believe that's the reason for no open flames.
The no visible glass thing is no big deal IMO. An actual stupid thing they do though is go around dumping unlocked ice chests while the game is happening, so make sure you finish what ever you brought before or get a lock for your ice chest.
A lot of people are going to shite on it because Ole Miss, but it's pretty fun and a definite change of pace from tailgating at LSU. If you try comparing the two, you'll be very disappointed because you're used to the LSU way. If you go in and open your mind to how they do it, it's a lot of fun.
Did anyone mention the hot girls all dressed up? Because the scenery is fantastic up there.

This is pretty much it. It's supposedly the ambiance, which obviously includes the women.
I used to go the Grove quite a bit when we were in Memphis, but I always had more fun at LSU. We'd go with a friend from Eunice that was a fairly accomplished fiddle and accordion player. Didn't take long to get a nice party going with women dancing, drinking and loving life.
I prefer that over chandeliers, table linens and Rachmaninoff.
