Tailgaters that don’t go in the game

Sure heres my story i like to go to games but now there to expensive and eatign at the games is to expensive so i go to the games and walk around the talegates and ask for food then i dont go in the games but eat talegate food for free and watch the games at a friendly persons rv and then i get in my car and complane about how bad post game traffic is the end

I've done it before but not every game similar to most people I'd guess. Not sure there's a story. We just got drunk chased women and watched football

Just side through TD Village during game time.

Plenty of drinks to talk to.

1. No vehicle should be able to park in any LSU lot unless said vehicle's driver has a ticket to the game.

2. LSU should discourage folks from coming onto the campus UNLESS each person has a ticket.

If fans today could take a time machine to tailgating in the mid 80's they would be shocked at the casualness of the entire concept. Other than the lot directly in front of the stadium, you parked anything with wheels puling anything imaginable where ever you wanted for free.

There used to be small triangle of grass median where Nicholson and Nicholson Extension split. Some dude named The Flea and his podnah's squeezed two motor home and a few cars on it every game. By 4pm Flea was shirtless in his Tiger slippers on top of the RV with a trumpet and open flame grill. There was no east upper and there were RVs and cars lined up on Powerhouse Lane (road along east side of stadium) not 20 feet from the gates and the visitors buses. The ROTC lot on south stadium and Nicholson was 90% RV's. The fixture RV with the ceiling fan on a swing arm is a tradition that goes back to them hanging the fan in the actual oak tree next to them. That said, most tailgates was a family with an open trunk, foldable chairs and a nerf football. There was no TAF, no planned pregame activities, and no team walk down Victory Hill. The players just walked over from Broussard in small groups. The band marched over from the band hall, but the only people there were the tailgates along the route.

Then again, we were only paying Arnsparger $150K a year and the stadium was 20% smaller with zero luxury suites, much less a club level. The only thing you heard over the PA was a quick recap after each play, a license plate number for a car with their lights on, and the occasional page for doctor number such in such to call his office.

I don’t arrive to Baton Rouge unless I have a ticket but kindly frick off with this.

I can't imagine a scenario that I would enjoy loading up a truck full of shite to sit in the heat only to do the same thing I'd do at my house.

I understand those that may choose to sit at a tailgate instead of going into a game vs La Tech or Grambling at the last minute, but I'd probably still just not go period

Dats where da best weed at mayn

sometimes they stay and watch the game on TVs at the tailgate even for huge games like Bama. It blows my mind.
