Hey Everyone! Life-long tiger fan. Bringing my 10 yr. old son on 10/8. 1st game for both of us!

The 11am kickoff is throwing me off a little. What time should we get to campus to give us time to park (hopefully free), see Mike & Victory Hill parade, and take in some tailgating?

Would also love any recommendations on:
1) Where to park (Will be taking I-10 E after the game).
2) Where to experience some tailgating. We don't know anyone there.
3) What goes on in & around the PMAC? Is it worth checking out?
4) Anything else worth doing while we're there?

Thanks in advance!

Vol fan here driving from Dallas. Will pass you on I20/10 at some point I'm sure. Safe travels!

1. I'd park close to Parker Coliseum... easy shot to I-10 and you shouldn't be stuck in traffic... and it's free

2. The deeper you get into campus, the more tailgates. People are friendly, especially if you have a kid with you. You will get invited in by many tailgates without knowing anyone.

3. Usually have a band (not sure if they do for an 11am game but some will know). The band comes down right there as well as the team. Usually very good crowd of people around.

4. Since it's such an early game, walk around campus and check out the tailgates. Also visit Mike the Tiger at his cage.

Thanks for the great info! Any advice on what time to get to campus?

I’d get there 10ish if it’s a 2:30 game. If night game, 11-12pm depending on how much y’all want to walk

Probably 8 AM at the latest. I know, 11 AM kickoff sucks, but that's what it'll be.
