I graduated High School with the guy that owns "Down the Bayou" and his food is legit. He's from Larose and graduated from South Lafourche ... as authentic as it gets.


Can confirm place is legit. He was selling oysters on the half shell for like $1/ea opening weekend and does crab and crawfish boils regularly.

I’d take a look at Stonebreaker if OP needs a place to stay close to the stadium.

Tickets are dirt cheap and the stadium will be half empty.

If you're not looking for anything fancy, I usually stay at the Comfort Suites or Holiday Inn Express on Southeast Walton Blvd when in the area for work.

I found some tickets in section 105 for about $115/each. Not a bad price.

It is very hilly. We aren't used to that at sea level.

Jealous. Been to Fayetteville but not for a LSU game. It’s such a great town and overall area. Especially in the fall.

It might be cold for that last game of the season but it’ll be nice regardless. So much going on in the area even outside of the college campus area. NW Arkansas is just top tier in my book.


Oh also it has superb demographics

My son has been begging to go to a LSU football game this season but between my work schedule and his Fall travel baseball tournament schedule, the timing has not worked out. We finally have a weekend that I am off and he has no baseball tournaments so going to take advantage of it and take a trip up to Arkansas. My wife has some family in Maumelle, Arkansas so using it as an opportunity to see her family and to catch a LSU game.

I’m thinking about making the trip as well. With my points I can stay free and tickets are cheap for the game. I have no concrete plans so this helped me as well.

Can you point me to a site or page or something where you are looking at tickets/ SeatGeek? StubHub? Through Arkansas? Or some FB page or Ticket Exchange like TD has here?

Thanks for any info...

Feel free to share those points with me.

Joking of course. You should definitely go. I have only ever been to 1 away game and that was Bama during the Shula days. It is on my bucket list to start going to more away games and hopefully visit every SEC stadium at least once.

It’s one of the prettiest parts of the country in my honest opinion. While I haven’t spent a lot
of time there, I can’t remember driving through any place where I thought it looked bad.
