Hey there fellow Tigers.

I will be attending my first LSU football game with my parents on August 31. We are all big Tiger fans, but have never been to a game, especially since after we moved to NC following Katrina. So basically, I just wanted to ask some general questions about the overall experience down there and what to expect.

I guess my first question is how early should we get down there (it is a 6:30pm kickoff) and where are the best places to park? Where are the tailgates and what is the policy regarding alcohol at said tailgates? I also don't want to mooch off of anyone serving food at the tailgates, so I was wondering if there were any places to eat around campus during this time?

And lastly, my parents are on the older side and probably need a place to cool down; I'm expecting it to be extremely hot/humid down there, so are there any places that would be sufficient for them to take a breather?

I apologize for all the questions, I just wanted to get a better picture before we head down there. Your responses are greatly appreciated!

Geaux Tigers!
