For ASU fans: Stuff to do while in BR

bump?

walk ons isn't that good. Its got a good view and cool location but food is subpar for price. much better off at the chimes.

*Tailgating spots - One spot is as good as the next and I won't be the trendy dummy who says, "Just move around...go up to as many spots as you can and ask for food...you'll get a friendly "tiger bait", but you'll get your belly fool." Anyway, find a spot and don't rely on everyone else to take care of you, although some will definitely be friendly.

*Parking suggestions - Let me know when you get a cure for cancer,jk. Honestly, get near stadium early and park at the side of River Road and then walk down Skip Bertman Drive...or find one of the many 10-20 dollar lots. If you don't have parking pass, this has always worked for us.

*Things to do after the game - Go back and tailgate and wait for traffic to die down. You can go to Walk-On's (in walking distance) if you like, but rarely do my friends, family and I wanna do that. I always just enjoy relaxing and not having to fight anymore crowds.

*Best places to eat - If you have two-three full days and nights...in any order...The Chimes, Pasttime's, Louie's (do this at 2 am on early Sat morning of the game), Sammie's, Juban's

*Favorite bars - Ivar's , Duvic's (and the others under bridge), The Chimes and Varsity Theatre, Pasttime's Lounge...maybe The Cadillac

*Time the band will come down the hill - I have done this once in the last 5 yrs. I don't know, but sure...don't miss it. If you do, don't sweat it.

I think SFP said splash was the place to be

Spend the whole day tailgating on Saturday.

Duvic's closed this past week. It's out-of-business. I never went there, but Frank Duvic owned the greatest bar in the history of Tigertown: The Bayou!

I've heard "interesting" things about this place, particularly those dealing with older women.

For parking ON campus, I'd say get there before 10am. If you want a spot for a tent or any tables and a grill, set up the night before or at daybreak.

After the game? Well LSU has not mastered the art of moving massive numbers of people away. So I'd say walk over to The Chimes and Serrano's. Serrano's usually has a band in their parking lot and is a decent post game destination.

you might want to include tips on New Orleans too, since alot of people will probably be staying there







and yes I realize that half of the posts about NOLA will involve bars at Bourbon and St. Anne
