Baton Rouge Advice

I just dropped my son off there last weekend as an incoming freshman. If you bring him home for the game, we will get you drunk but make sure you make your flight home.

Win or lose, go to walkons after the game.

Any tailgate you see is an open invite as long as you are respectful and nice. It sounds cliche but people put a ton of work and effort into their tailgates with the sole purpose to entertain guests, especially first timers. If you say it’s your first time to tiger stadium you will get the red carpet.

Honestly your pregame should entail stopping at a grocery store, buying a cheap rolling ice chest, filling it up with alcohol and just walking around the stadium. Pop into random tailgates and shoot the shite. You’ll get a better experience doing this then trying to get into one of the “destination” restaurants. And I can almost guarantee the tailgate food will be better than any restaurant.

Drink heavily before the game and you’ll have a good time. Again, go to walkons after the game to keep the party going and I hope you don’t have an early flight out on Sunday

Awesome you’re coming into town. On Saturday, may consider:
- Grabbing breakfast at Louie’s on campus. If you’re on campus that early
- Swing by The Chimes at the Northgate for drinks and appetizers. Grab some drinks to go and begin walking on to campus.
- Hit up tailgates along Dalrymple. Just walk up to anyone and see if they’d be game to join.
- Victory Hill festivities - with the team, band, and beyond.
- LSU sets up a band and other cool stuff near the Pete Maravich Assembly Center before the game. The Assembly Center will also open up for restrooms etc.
- Post game parties around the Northgate/Chimes/Varsity are easy to go to. You can walk back on a similar route from the Stadium to that area. Plenty of people will still be tailgating after the game.

Friday:
- You may consider playing golf at a local course to take up some time. City Park BR. Webb.
- Tiger Cage and exploring campus is cool on Friday to start seeing tailgates get setup.
- Downtown area is cool to check out. Nothing crazy special. But nice restaurants, bars, etc.
- Ruth’s Chris near your hotel.
- Other adult establishment near your hotel.
- Perkins Road overpass area would be cool. Plenty of bars etc. Ivar’s. Duvics. The Merchant. Etc.

Where are your suggestions Tyga? Or just feel like throwing shade?

You basically told the guy

On Friday
- play golf at Webb or City Park
- go to Ruth’s Chris
- go downtown after

Next morning
- go to Louie’s
- go to Chimes
- go to Victory Hill

Literally anything would be better.

No, we all hardly ever agree.

Can you give more insight on your trip? Rough age range, friends or family trip? Likes dislikes? Level of drinking?

Honestly, if I had a perfect day, this is what I would really like to do. Eat breakfast or lunch at a spot depending on the kickoff time then just visiting a bunch of tailgates around the stadium. I’d love that.

I’m not in the obnoxious part of our fanbase so I should be okay to be around ??

I’m 29. My buddy is early 30’s. Just us two. I’m married. He’s not. I drink but try not to get too too crazy on gameday because I want to enjoy the game and also Tennessee football gets me in a different mental state as it is but I will be drinking pregame. My buddy doesn’t drink anymore but is fine dropping in bars, hanging out at tailgates, etc.

Honestly, I just want the college football experience of LSU. I’ve heard nothing but great things about gameday there.

Flight lands at like 945 am
