First time to LSU/Baton Rouge (for Auburn game)

Oregon State Beaver fan here...from Portland, OR. Heading from New Orleans on Oct 26th for the LSU-Auburn game.
- What's the best idea for parking and how early to get there?
- West side better to sit on for a day game I'm assuming?
- Any "must see" things on gameday?
Always admired Tiger Stadium from afar after watching my Beavs lose a heartbreaker there in 2004. Looking forward to checking the stadium off my bucket list!

If you’re wanting to tailgate I’d get there no later than 9am. Yes the east side gets harassed by the sun until probably the 4th quarter of 2:30 games. It looks miserable. Mike the Tigers cage is incredible. I’m not really into zoos or anything like that, but every time I see his cage I’m in awe. Also the band walking down victory hill and the team walking down victory hill. If you get there early, tell someone your story, and they’re probably going to be quick to offer you something. I hope you have a great time!

would also recommend using the search function to look for threads with "visiting" in them, we had several folks like you for the Florida game,
you'll get a lot of good stuff mixed in with a lot of wise-arse answers...
One thing I'll tell you is get there early!!!

We're likely not going to tailgate at our own car(other than a few beers while walking around), so we're fine if we have to park a little further out to walk to the stadium.
We have a connection to a tailgate that's on campus, so we'll be spending most of our gameday there.

Fun fact Baton Rouge, LA is frequently referred to as the Portland of the south.
ETA: For real though watch the Tiger Walk and go into the stadium at least an hour early so you can take in all the fun pregame stuff. It's a blast.

If you don't want to pay full west-side ticket prices, seats in the SW corner (roughly sections 407-409/WBL in lower, 420-424 in upper) are mostly well shaded during day games.
See the video of last year's UGA game (10/13/18) for idea of what areas are shaded. Aerial shot during 2nd quarter: LINK

So when's the naked bike ride?

Then aim to get there at least 2.5 hours before gametime. Mikes cage is directly across the street from the stadium. I’d also suggest trying to get into the stadium at least 45 minutes before kickoff to take in some of the pregame.

First off let me offer my condolences for being an Oregon State fan, that must be rough right now.

Hah - it's been pretty lean over the past few years. At least we have pretty good beer to drown our sorrows in!

No, and I was happy that he graduated so the distraction was gone. Didn't want him on the team after that and with how shitty he pitched in the CWS they would have likely still won it all without him.

That 2017 CWS was quite the epic battle between LSU/OSU....so much talent on both teams, and quite frankly, the two best fanbases in Omaha. I was there and met a ton of LSU fans that were great. Wish we would have been on opposite sides in 2017 so the matchup would have been in the final!

I wish it were true, but when you get your degree there and most of your family went there.....well, you drink a lot of beer

I'm guessing Corvallis is pretty nice when you're a college student?
