Was not impressed with the Grove. It's small.

it's sort of like a bigger version of the LSU Tailgate Krewes in the Enchanted Forest by the Greek Amphitheater

Stadium isn't anything to write home about.

Small and pretty underwhelming

Oxford is a nice little town but there are a few things to be aware of

there are very few restaurants worth a damn and very few spots stay open late

you will pay a steep cover charge at every bar you go to

there are very few hotels, they fill up quickly so Air BnB or stay in Batesville

Last time I went was 2014 for the baseball series. We just stayed in Memphis. My nephews were just kids, we took them to Graceland. They loved it.

Lodging is insanely expensive on big game weekends. Like 1000$ and up per night. If they even start at 1000.

Anyone have recommendations on where the best options might be to park without a parking pass?

Go check the Ole Miss board .. someone had answers there. I screenshot for someone but still don’t know how to post pics here lol

I have been to Oxford many times and the Grove is really bad arse. It is surrounded by beautiful oak trees and it is very orderly and those people pay a lot of money to set up their tent weekly in the same location. There is no jambalaya or étouffée cooking, and the food is all catered and boring. The women are incredible and nobody touches Ole Miss in that respect, The stadium is like a glorified high school stadium. The worst thing is the hottie toddy chant. That may be the single gayest thing I’ve ever heard at a football game.

They must really like Hobby Lobby because they say it all the damn time.
