Here's a question for the "locals"

I'm so glad the game is on for Saturday at 7 pm in Death Valley, BUT here's the problem for us out of town supporters: There are no hotel rooms from Lafayette to Hammond, to Gonzales or anywhere in between. 
What are we fans supposed to do? We are driving 4 1/2 hours to support our Tigers, and the Baton Rouge area, but can't find a place to stay. I've read threads where people are still without electricity, and the area still has damage. So what's a fan to do? :banghead:

fellow tiger fans should let you stay the night in their homes, i would, but i live in an apartment with roommates, i'd have to ask permission first

Wish I could help but I'm without electricity too. Guess you're pretty screwed man. Oh well that comes with the territory I guess.

Go to your nearest Academy or other sporting goods store, buy a big tent and some sleeping bags/air mattresses, set up your tailgating site and camp out. Voila. Instant place to stay.

This is the time where you ask yourself is coming in and having to drive 5 hours back home,right after the game,really worth it to see LSU beat North Texas.

Getting a tent and camping out may be an option, however with the wind and heavy rain expected on Fri and Sat it wont be much fun

There are hotels within an approx. 1 1/2 hour radius of BR. Try New Orleans, Alexandria, etc

My dad and I had to stay in hotels in Vidalia, Natchez and McComb for three of the games in 05.
I had to drive from Dallas to his house in Ruston, get in his truck and drive to Vidalia, Natchez or McComb on Friday. Saturday morning we drove into BR, tailgated til the band came down, went to the game and then drove back to the town we stayed in. We actually drove all the way back to Ruston after the game when we stayed in McComb.

It's rough, but we can make the most money by playing the game here. No paying for a stadium, and no ticket refunds.
