Thanks for all the awesome replies. Keep ‘em coming!! Been to several Big Ten stadiums, along with the Gator, Rose, Fiesta, and Sugar Bowls. Can’t wait to experience Death Valley!

Don’t stay in a hotel, find a rental like an Airbnb or VRBO near the campus such as the garden district. Much cheaper during football season and great if you bring any friends or family. Think we spent maybe $250 for 2 nights and really enjoyed our stay.

Went to Louie’s Cafe for breakfast on game day, tailgated at “under the oaks,” I believe it was called.

Pre game: gotta go visit Mike the Tiger’s habitat and watch the Tiger walk down victory hill.

ETA: this is must to get the full experience: gotta sit in the bowl and not the nosebleeds to get the full experience. It’ll be expensive but it’s an experience like no other, especially if it’s a close game late.

Come Friday, see some things, experience the tailgating early Saturday and head to New Orleans 2 hours before LSU kicks off, maybe after you experience the tiger walk at Victory Hill. The way you describe the situation, going to such a big game might turn into a huge hassle for a first timer. Logistics are not in your favor.

Saints are at home Sunday which could affect your drive time Sunday to and from the conference and airport. Heck of a weekend for a conference.

Sounds like you're set. I wouldn't let traffic determine where you stay. It's no worse than trying to get to 315, I-71, etc. from the Shoe after a game in Cbus.

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


Also, if you can find a seat on the west side, you'll at least avoid the September Louisiana sun beaming down on you before it sets. Prolonged direct sunlight will humble even the most raucous of fans.

The parade ground tailgating is for frats
Avoid it

Avoid any hotels off airline Sherwood or siegen

The downtown hotels or lauberge or renaissance on bluebonnet might work for you
