Last time cheering the Tigers on in person was Wisconsin in Houston over 2 years ago. Finally managed to make it back. Fiance and I are attending the game on Saturday. We splashed out on Stadium Club seats. I'm very excited. I also started donating to TAF recently so that one day I can get season tickets.

Any tips for Saturday? How is the TAF tailgate? Where should we park - I saw that som parking areas will get muddy if it rains. We don't have parking passes.

I did the locker room tour on Mondday. It was excellent.

Looking forward to a great game!

Geaux Tigers!

I'll be there as well. Taking my dad. It'll be the first time he's ever watched an LSU game in Tiger Stadium.

The Hayfield and Levee Lots are free parking, tailgating is allowed. Get there early, maybe 1 pm or before. Some arrive in the morning.

You should watch the band march down the hill by the stadium. They march into the PMAC right afterward and give a show for Alumni and TAF members. Just show your TAF card.

Make sure you are in the stadium for pre-game.

Good. Now we just need to get Hueng Soro back. He has been missing since the LSU Auburn game in 08.

You can get a parking pass from the ticket exchange board. I was able to obtain one there. I did not want to park the wife's van in a field and get stuck with 3 kids.

It will all be their first time

Thank you. Will two of us be able to get in on my TAF card?

Is there paid parking available without getting a parking pass? I don't mind paying 30-40$ I just don't wanna pay 100$plus- would rather spend that on drinks and LSU gear!

Ah. A topic I am familiar with.

Firstly, you will need coffee. Frequently I have to get up at 2am to watch games!

Secondly, there is a TV service called 'bt sport' which includes an ESPN channel that broadcasts some games.

To catch all games you should set up a watch ESPN account (I use my fiance's family's account) and then pay for a VPN- I use Vyper VPN - and connect to a US server. Then you can login and watch it.

Happy to answer any questions. Can we PM on here? If so you can send a message when you are over and know your situation and I'll happily help out another fan!

I use the same way to watch the games over here also. Been here for the past three years, 8 more months to go and I am retiring and moving to Covington. USAF

Thanks for help. Have decided that the old front nine lots might be best.

Here's hoping the weather is ok....!

Ticket office had parking passes in Union Garage for sale this week. I do not know if they sold out. Could buy individual game passes.

Thanks for all the help.

Where do people tailgate when raining? Will it be possible to camp out in somewhere (is Chimes good?) Or do people walk around?

Also- can I bring my gopro (just camera, no large mounts etc) into the stadium? Would love to get some pictures and video and it's waterproof etc.

Both of you can get into the TAF tailgate. Be aware , no alcohol there.
