Looks like you've gotten all the advice you need. Get a higher seat and the restaurants listed most are probably your best bet.
Like one guy said wear your Cuse colors and you can eat really good food right there near the stadium free of charge probably drink plenty as well. Most people are friendly and will show you a great time, while giving you a hard time as well. All in good fun. It's really hot so be prepared.
Bring some chairs or cushions w/ a back to the stadium and try to sit in the shade if possible for more enjoyable game experience. If not you'll still have a blast. Should be a night game so shouldn't be too bad at game time, still pretty darn hot. Watch the weather predictions, temp and what the humidity looks like that weekend to prepare better. Stadium chairs w/ a back makes it much better IMO. Have a great time and GT!

Add Parrain's, Juban's, Gallatoire's for dinner Friday night before. Also, hit up brunch Sunday before you go home. Chime's, Mason's Grill, Bistro Byronz is good for that.
What this guy said...
Parrain's would be my top choice for great louisiana seafood dishes
Riffino's is great italian
Chimes is great for everything
Zippy's has great daiquiris for gameday
Mason's grill has great Sunday brunch
Hope you enjoy your trip

Sammy's Grill on Highland Road. Always a favorite of my family when we are in Baton Rouge.

wear shorts and a Syracuse T shirt (it'll be HOT compared to NY), walk around campus the afternoon before the game and tell people you've never had gumbo, jambalaya, etc and boy will they load you up!
You won't need to eat for quite a while. But, Acme Oyster House

Lots of great recommendations!
I wanted to say that I really enjoyed the hospitality that the Syracuse area treated us with when I made the trip. Very enjoyable experience and would go again!

If he's in section 303 an outside chair-back isn't necessary. The second already has chairbacks.
I agree with the shade part as unfortunately, the East (where 303 is located) will be in the sun. However, the SU game will likely be at night, so he'll only be in the sun for 30 minutes - to 1 hour depending on the kick off time

Your fans that made the trip up north two years ago were very well-liked by the Cuse fanbase. I'm pretty sure there wasn't a drop of alcohol left in the city afterwards.
Thanks for that. I made that trip and thoroughly enjoyed it. The Syracuse fans I met were very friendly and welcoming. They were stunned/impressed that LSU traveled so well. I went to Cooperstown on Friday. That part of the country is absolutely beautiful and I hope to have occasion to go back there again some day.
My main advice is to echo what a few others have said about the heat and humidity. BR in September is no joke. It's hot and it's humid. Just have plenty of water handy to stay hydrated and you should be fine. Maybe also pack an extra shirt or two if you walk around on game day. You will sweat through a couple! I also suggest walking around in your Orange gear. Our fans are known for their hospitality to out-of-towners, especially ones out of conference who don't visit here often. Walk around with a smile and a good attitude about being "Tiger-baited" and you will eat like a king....for free no less....all day.
And one small piece of advice...if someone at a tailgate offers you a bowl of something, don't ask what's in it. You probably don't want to know...but it will likely be delicious!
Enjoy yourself and be sure to report back on your experience.

And to the point above regarding bars not opening early enough in Syracuse for LSU fans, you're absolutely correct. We should have had our act together better.
In spite of this, one of my best road trips ever. Book-ended Syracuse around stops in NYC and Niagara Falls.
Kick me an email if you want to stop by our tailgate near Memorial Tower (Parade Ground). I did the same years ago and am still friends with a group from Nova Scotia. Goose11262@yahoo.com

Can't wait to have you! This is the only non conference home game I really want to see! Go to Sammy's on Sunday and enjoy a Saturday in BR

Anything below row 15 sucks. Lots of out of town fans get those low row seats behind their bench and think they have scored!!! Only to find out they got screwed and can't see jack chite.
All of the suggestions for food are spot on and the folks suggesting wearing orange gear and walking around visiting our tailgates is also right on. We're in TD Village SE of the stadium and always welcome away visitors....with the exception of Bama or Gator fans...frick em.

Based on your link, here's a nice split view showing both in a split screen.

Looking forward to this game as well since I'm from that area of NY originally.
