Anyone watched a game here before? How early would you recommend getting there tomorrow? Looks like they open at 11 am

May as well get there around lunch time. It's a blast. There'll be a ton of LSU fans there.

If you want to guarantee yourself a seat at the bar or one of the little tables opposite the bar that have the clearest views of the television screens, I would arrive a couple of hours in advance. The size of the alumni crowd varies, but I imagine that there will be an enthusiastic contingent for the opener. Seating scarcity may be alleviated somewhat if they open up the second floor to lsu fans as well.

I'd get there no later than Noon if you want a table or place at the bar. Great place to watch the game whether you have a seat or not though.

There is a pretty good byob strip club not too far from there that you can hit up after the game. Lsugerberbaby can tell you more.

I did on a trip to Chicago a few years ago. The place was packed! I would get there early. But it was a blast! Have fun!

Agreed. Good place to catch an LSU game. When we went we showed up early and got primo seats at the bar. Ran into some other TD posters there. It got pretty busy but nothing insane. Decent food, good beer selection. Local alumni chapter has watch parties there as well in a barricaded area.

I recommend getting there early if you want to find a seat. They have a great brunch and bloody mary/mimosa deal, or at least they did last year when I went for the Syracuse game.

Planning on heading to the Standard at some point tonight. Looking forward to see all the tiger fans there and up in Green Bay tomorrow!

Yeah, from Nola and made plans months ago to come up here regardless of whether I had a ticket to the game or not. Looking forward to watching it there.
