No the grove is a good but it’s 1/20 the size of LSUs tailgate scene

Tailgating is about all they really have...most fans are there after halftime as their team is usually irrelevant by the middle of October...on a good year...
It's fun but it's really just a tray of sandwiches and potatoe salad...with plastic cups..
The square is very overrated and the cover charges are outrageous
It's no wonder why their fans love when the games are in baton rouge
Friday night in new orleans and tailgating in the shadow's of tiger stadium saturday are a million times better than the grove or the square...

I’ve always had a great time, but I enjoy the LSU tailgating scene a lot more. Honestly there’s way more elaborate, impressive LSU tailgates than anything I’ve ever seen during my many times in the Grove

No, but their tailgating is greatly superior to their football team

Only if hanging a chandelier in your tent is your idea of "better tailgating".

I’ve been to every SEC campus except Arkansas, Kentucky, and Missouri. Ole Miss women are top notch, but their tailgating is at the bottom along with Vanderbilt and Florida.

My personal top 3, excluding LSU, would be:

Georgia, Auburn, and Tennessee

Been to the grove many times and I've never been impressed. Very crowded with A-holes. Females are impressive but about the same as an LSU game.

And, I drove by the grove on a weekday outside of football season and it's a small patch of grass with some trees. Very underwhelming.

Geaux to hell ole miss

The grove was cool when I was a kid. It was like picnicking in a park. Not crowded. Could run around, play tag football, etc. Now, it looks like a flea market. One person puts a chandelier in a tree, and the place is “great”

It used to have a charm to it. It was a great setting with the trees and shite. Now it’s just soggy chicken tenders, little chandeliers, and picture taking for social media.

I actually enjoy tailgating at Ole Miss. I went to the Ole Miss-Georgia game in 2016 for shites and giggles, and had a blast. Went a whole day in oxford without hearing something about corndogs. Had a great time. But nothing compares to tiger game day

I went to the ‘17 game. I was surprised at how small the Grove was with its reputation. The only thing that I can’t tell get people raving was the half dressed women. I ate at Chick-fil-A it was the best option.

All OM has is tailgating, its not like fans anticipate a good football game after the tailgate like LSU fans do.

Ole Miss tailgating is without a doubt the most overrated gameday experience in the SEC.

The Grove is in the middle of Oxford and you have to go watch an OM game when you exit.

That answer your question?
