Taking my son to his first LSU game Saturday. I haven't been to a game in a while. I hear lots has changed. Parking and a contra flow setup now? I will basically be lost as to what to do. Coming up Nicholson from Gonzales. Where should I park? How early should we arrive? I have an offer to bring my vehicle ahead of time and be dropped off. Would that be necessary? Also, what time could we catch the band coming down the hill? Thanks!

Every week Tigerdroppings puts out an article like the one below.

They normally post this by late Thursday or Friday. It will have all the times you need for band, players, etc.

As for traffic and parking.... your on your own.

Have a great time! I didn't go to my first LSU game until I was a student, would've loved to grow up going to games..make some memories!

Got the #7 jersey covered. He is an excited little boy. Good grades don't come easy to this little fella. You know, not one of the " My kid has a 4.2 at Harvard"types. He puts in tons of effort just to maintain at school. Proud of his effort beyond words. He deserves a really fun day.

My dad took me when I was 8. Been a long time. David Woodley was QB! I still remember just being in complete awe of the stadium and crowd noise.

Check out Mike The Tigers Kid's Club
LINK

Get your kid signed up and Mike the Tiger is having a special tailgate party for the kids this weekend before the game and food is provided by TJ Rib's. Very fun experience for the kiddos

When it's all said and done, effort will take him just as far as grades in most cases. Good luck to him.

Why did it take you 8 years??? Just kidding... I just took my son to his first game last year at 7 also, and Spring Game at 6. Any younger runs a risk of an early exit.
