Andres, campus area is safe after a game. There are so many cops around anyway that the thugs just don't bother. If you look on a map, Roosevelt St to the I-10 just north of it is basically the ghetto. There is nothing there anyway, so you're not missing out at all. Anywhere south of Roosevelt is completely fine, like anywhere, just use your wits and be aware. And franky, people park in the hood on Gameday so it's pretty safe then.

Definitely drink at The Chimes just off campus. It's a great place to grab a pint, or get shite housed.

If you want to easily get laid, go to Freds Bar in Tigerland. Downtown is also fun, there is a strip there with a ton of random bars to try out.

Zippys is a good place to grab lunch on a non-gameday. Usually some hot girls and they have some nice drinks.

On a hotel, the closer the better. A good recommendation though is the Residence Inn Towne Center. Only because it's in a very nice part of town (close to where I live) and they have a lot of food options. It is a bit of a drive though.

On what to wear, definitely an LSU hat and something Aussie should do. We love our Aussie players.

Before you go, if you're heading East out of town, take Highland Road from the LSU lakes (such a pretty area) all the way east to where Highland meets I-10. It's a beautiful drive and really let's you see the charm Baton Rouge has. Some gorgeous homes too. Baton Rouge from the highway just doesn't show the beauty of the area!
