What row of Section 423?

I sit in Section 422, Row 14. Great corner view surrounded by die-hard Tiger fans. I've got a pair of seats on West 20-yard line but opt to sit here because of people around me. West side is tennis clap crowd.

Flashback to 2015 Syracuse trip - those bars and restaurants near campus lost so much money by not opening earlier. Purple and gold was everywhere lined up on sidewalks with no-where to go. I think they finally opened doors and were instantly packed about two hours before kick-off.

Just get a hotel in advance and show up. If you're going to tailgate, find a nice looking spot and set up. Tailgating is all around campus and not relegated to certain areas (i.e., that hill). Southern hospitality is alive and well in Baton Rouge and you'll be welcomed by nearly everyone.

Your seats aren't that great and your hotel is even worse. That is not in a good location at all and is very dangerous there. Try to stay somewhere between Bourbon Street and the River, and not past Canal or St. Ann's. I got accepted to Syracuse and almost went there, but decided to stay home. So I hope you guys have fun and enjoy yourselves...

Man, after the game you HAVE to take a tour of Plank Road.

It rivals Beale Street in Memphis for music, food, nightspots, etc.

Park your car, walk, and soak up the atmosphere.

Ya I'm hopeful Canada turns things around. Etling won't kill us but I'm
Not convinced he will carry us to a championship either. LF was great in that game. He saved us for sure. I don't think they expected such a scrappy game and lucky for us he knew what he had to do and stepped up. Cuse came to play that day. We can say how sloping Lsu was and make excuses but imo we saw a different team that day. They hit hard and played physical as hell.

We're sitting in 423 row 34. Best seats we could get that weren't really high up and not like 200-300 bucks (around $150). The view looked good on the seat view site.

I do recall hearing about that kind of stuff when your fans visited a couple years ago. lol

Your fans and Clemson fans have brought the biggest road fan groups to the Dome in a long time. I believe I heard there were between 5-7k LSU fans there, which is super impressive.

I think Canada will get it done, I'm just not sure exactly how long it will take to implement his system there. He's had great success everywhere else though. I think it was a great hire even if it doesnt really get rolling for another year.

Every fan base believes their team has a chance in every game and that year we got off to a decent start going into that game. However, I don't know if there were any of us who actually thought the game was gonna be that close for 3.5 quarters. Our guys definitely played up to the competition that day, but we had no answer for LF. He was simply unstoppable.

Yes! This is super relatable. I actually yell this at her sometimes (her meatloaf is incredible). She loves that movie. My mom is not typical. She still likes to throw down. haha

She's a Cuse grad and diehard Orange fan. She was at the law school when we were actually a good program still. This was during the McNabb, Harrison, Freeney, etc years.

We decided to plan a nice trip for just the two of us since we share similar tastes in what makes for a good time. Plus we have good jobs and figured we needed to "treat yo self".

Cuse fans also won't be happy knowing they won't move the ball very well on this Aranda defense! #chanceforashutout

Make sure you get breakfast at Oceanas. It's on the corner of Conti and bourbon street. You won't regret it

This is actually a legit concern. You guys have a bunch of future first round picks on defense and Aranda is one of the top 5 DC's in the country. The guy just flat out gets how to coach a defense.
