I always hear stories of Americans being rude or ignorant. I did not experience any of that down here in Baton Rouge. From tailgating at the stadium down to New Orleans everyone we met and talked to treated us like we were family. The southern hospitality was unbelievable. I want to thank everyone for making us feel welcome. :cheers:
I thoroughly enjoyed my time down here in Louisiana. The tailgating was an unbelievable experience and the food was delicious. The first time I had Jambalaya and Gumbo, I am going to find a receipe and make some for the folks back home :lol:
We watched the team and bands come down the hill. I love the traditions that come with LSU games. The bands pre-game and half time show were great and it makes the game more enjoyable.

For the game we sat in the Tiger Terrace right at the 50 yard line. Great seats! We tried to learn Alma Mater before the game but we didn't learn quick enough, good thing they had the lyrics on the video board :lol:

I will for sure be coming down to LSU for another game and hope to make it a yearly tradition.

Thanks again for all the tips and tricks, food, booze and hospitality you guys helped make the trip of a lifetime! :cheers:

I am hoping to catch the band and team march down the hill! Where do I go for that? Indian Mounds?

Looking at the temperatures if I wear that I might melt haha. Hopefully the beer stays cold

Is the LSU shop at the stadium open on regular week days? The only LSU apparel is stuff for Canadian winters and it will be much to warm to wear to the game Saturday. If the shop is not open where can I find a store that sells The apparel. I was looking on LSUShop.net

The weather channel says you will only hit 32 on Oct. 5th and are in the 60's during the daytime. You are one of those truth stretching baws

Forgot the weather channel was right 100% of the time and you know my exact location. ;)

Should be plenty of mizzou fans enjoying their first LSU tailgate also.

I don't want to associate with the enemy ;)

Well we are less then one week away from my first LSU Tigers football game and I can not wait! A little bit worrysome with all the recent changes but am going to try and keep positive and hope to get the best expirence possible. I just have a few questions regarding what we should do on Saturday before the game starts. Are we allowed to bring backpacks and purses into the stadium? I have been to some places who do not allow it. I hope to buy some souvenirs and the game so bringing a backpack will make life easier. Where can we go to see the team come down the hill? What are some pre-game festivities we should check out? What will the temperature be like for a night time game? ( We have snow and 32 degree weather where I am from at this time of the year.) As well as any ideas for stuff to do outside of football for tourist as we are there for 5 days would be great.

Thanks! :geauxtigers:

Wow that sounds great! I am hoping we get to do it. It will be an experience of a lifetime it sounds like.

Ah ok. I saw on YouTube locker room tour at LSU and was interested in doing it. Thanks!

Just curious. Do you have a device like a roku, chromecast, firetv/firestick?

No I don't. Is it something I should look into?
