Tips for Visiting Tiger Stadium?
Posted on 8/3/26 at 4:30 pm
Posted on 8/3/26 at 4:30 pm
I am attending a conference in New Orleans from September 27-29 and I’ve always wanted to attend a game at Tiger Stadium. Thinking about coming down on Thursday evening or Friday morning and heading to Baton Rouge for the A&M game, spending the night and heading to the conference Sunday morning. Any tips or suggestions you guys are willing to share?
Any local campus must sees?
Always heard awesome things about the tailgating scene. Any particular place to check out before the game?
Realize hotels are limited (checked today) but is it that difficult with traffic to stay a little further away from campus?
Particular seats or sections to buy/not buy? Seat with a seat back would be best for my wife
Do tickets for bigger SEC games tend to go down closer to game time or should I secure best seats I can now?
I’m sure I’ll have other questions but that’s it for now.
If anyone is planning a trip to Columbus or Pittsburgh, I’d be happy to repay the favor.

- Mike's cage, the Chimes rooftop, the parade grounds, the Indian Mounds

- you'll want to stay close-ish. Contraflow after the game will take you hours to get back to the hotel. Look at AirBNB's or Lauberge casino
Particular seats or sections to buy/not buy? Seat with a seat back would be best for my wife
- I'd refrain from nose bleeds

LSU is a high capacity seating stadium, comfort isn't the best. If your wife has a back issue, id recommend buying your tickets now. Price may go down but selection will go down also.

Lower bowl with seat back - preferably West side because it could be a day game and East gets more sun and can be miserable. 9/26 can be surprisingly miserably hot.
I'd buy tickets now.

Indigo, Watermark, or Capital Hilton downtown if available and there's a privately run shuttle service outside the Indigo on game days. Or stay further away at L'Auberge and plan parking accordingly. Post game traffic sucks - bad.

The A&M game is gonna be a tough ticket since in all honestly it's likely to be a top 10 matchup. I'd start looking for tickets as soon as you can tbh

Lower bowl sidelines have bleacher backs, not great. Tiger Terrace (500 level) has chairbacks, as do the east and west upper rows 1 through 9.
Here is a resource to see your view from the seats you are interested in. It'll give you an idea of the seats available. The Tiger Terrace seats are great seats, IMO. But they are kind of expensive.

It's a crapshoot until very close to game time. This one will be in very high demand if the Tigers are winning, which I suspect they will be. I tended to buy early before I had season tickets if I was taking my wife and kids. If it was just some guys going somewhere to go hang out if we couldn't get tickets, I might have wait to look around campus.

Enjoy the game and the game day atmosphere, but other than that, many visitors stay in New Orleans and commute. I run in to them occasional at restaurants and bars around town and get positive feedback. That is my advice

Definitely do not wear maroon if you’re visiting for the A&M game.
Those guys are getting a warm welcome after last year’s game for sure.
This isn’t being mentioned enough. Their Tiger stadium “takeover” and all the chatter since then about Death Valley being a joke and them owning it. Oh yeah it’ll be ugly.

If you’re not hungover for your conference, then you didn’t have a fun time…

I may have a ticket for you. Extra charge for a Buckeye though

You’re not accounting for if Boy George passes away between now and the season opener and Aggies drop 2 early on due to still being in mourning.

Take a crap before entering the stadium and if you're wearing pants, use an external catheter so you don't have to use the bathrooms, they are awful, the toilets are full of shite, piss, toilet paper and are overflowing and the urinals or troughs aren't much better, piss all over the floor.

That's a big game. A decent tick will cost a grand or more. To mitigate that go to the campus. Start looking for tickets 5 minutes after kickoff. You might get 1 for $150 or less. Hotels- stay in Port Allen or North BR. They have a lot of dumpy ones for $250 or less. A good room will run another grand. Parking, probably a 1 or 2 mile walk unless you spring for a $500 spot 400 yards from the stadium. So you can go 1st class for $2,500 or on the cheap for $500. Same game same outcome regardless.

Thanks for that link, first time I really have an idea about the seats we have in club 550 row 3. Looking forward to seeing if Sam can meet the expectations and just what we can do with really a new team. Will black car in and back from NO. hopefully the club bathrooms will be better than those described here.

LOL! And I have to speak for the first session Sunday afternoon!

I’d be looking for 2 seats.

Do not sit in the upper deck. It is not nearly the same environment as sitting in the lower bowl.
