It's been a while since I've been to the grove (2011). Was thinking about doing the lyric tailgate thing, but you know what... frick that. I wanna be in throws of it all and have piss bombs/chandeliers thrown at me IDGAF. I know the liquor laws are crazy there and have stupid rules about having padlocks on coolers and such. How should I go about tailgating there? I want to drink heavily and have a good time.

I went for an egg bowl 2 years ago and people poured liquor openly which surprised me. Did they change the law?

If you want to actually make it to the game, I would let them have the Grove.

The bullshite restrictions there on open flames, drinking games, open containers would be enough to keep me away, but do you really wanna deal with these douchenozzles in the 1st video below all day?

The Grove is nothing more than 10 acres of weapons grade douchebaggery.

Thanks for your concern Honkus. I'm not scared of some young ole miss figs though. We are the villians and they are the little scared blackbears. Just looking for updated drinking laws/tips to get started out there in the CENTER of the grove.

Drinking in Mississippi is risky. Stay away.

CAN NOT HAVE CANS OF BEER WHATSOEVER. I GOT STOPPED CARRYING AN UNOPENED CASE TO A TAILGATE AND THE COP MADE ME EMPTY EVERY CAN INTO THE TRASH.
FOR SOME REASON BOTTLES OF LIQUOR ARENT AS FROWNED UPON FROM WHAT I REMEMBER, JUST MAKE SURE WHATEVER YOURE DRINKING IS IN A CUP

I'm honestly thinking about getting some meta glasses like a previous poster talked about so I can document my adventure for you guys.

I go up every year with some Ole Miss "friends" and usually it is pretty lax as long as you're drinking from a cup. BUT I can imagine they're going to be extra douchey about it this year. Backpack ice chest with it on my back at all times and beverages in a cup is my plan.

They do a “tent run” on Friday. They grove from what I remember is roped off and at x-time (I can’t remember — 6?) the rope is dropped and people run for their spots.

And do NOT have an open alcohol can of anything. Put it in a cup.

I’m not going but I’m interested in this now. So how does one get beer around and then proceed to pour it in a cup or whatever it is they’re drinking. Really weird rule but I’m curious now

Probably a plastic bag .. or ice chest and then pour into a cup once at your tent or a tent.

You have to have it in an ice chest or something. Then you pour it into a cup discreetly. And unbeknownst to me, I knew about not drinking out of a can, but you can’t even carry an unopened case to the tailgate. Has to be hidden from the jump.

If you don't have a tailgate to go to in the grove, I wouldn't recommend going there. You have to discreetly pour your drinks into a cup. Nobody invites you to their tent and feeds you, gives you alcohol like LSU fans will do for opposing fans. I go to a game every year with my Ole MIss friends and some people are psychos about their tents and have security. You won't be able to set up your own tailgate. Every square inch has already been accounted for, it will be wall to wall of people.

a sea of people I’ve never been a big Grove person for a few reasons Huge crowds like this give me anxiety and also once you break the seal , you’ve gotta hunt down portapotties and wait in line for those and once you get back to the tent and you’re right back to the pisser .

It’s really not fun once it gets this crowded. Plus it’ll be hotter than hell too. Hard pass for me. But enjoy everyone ! cold chicken tenders await !

Edit: these massive weekends it suxks, you can’t really go eat anywhere and everywhere is so damn crowded and the few bars that we have will be high cover /shoulder to shoulder . Just not an enjoyable experience on game weekends . I will say a hidden gem is the penny bar underneath Moe’s bbq. You can get there from upstairs or walk down the hill . Great bartenders there and a divey spot away from the monstrosity of the library .

Edit 2: Ajax while it used to be a really good restaurant and fairly famous .. they sold it recently and the quality has dropped off a cliff. Hate to say it but it sucks now. Just an FYI for those trying to get in there


Edit: also it will be even more crowded due to Gameday and all the junk they bring in for the show so that’s even less space than normal available.. not sure that changes a whole lot but something else to consider
