Any specific lots that are "must-experience" and welcoming to strangers - or is everything going to be equally hospitable? And on the contrary any to stay away from? Appreciate all the tips - beyond excited for Saturday. Will be wearing an Iowa Hawkeyes shirt.

We plan to get into town early to claim a parking spot in Hayfield/Gourrier South. Is that a good plan and how early should we get there? Thinking of bringing basic tailgate stuff like grill and cooler and food to at least have a "home base" and our own drinks/food, and then a lot of walking around and exploring the rest of the day. Getting in late Friday night to our hotel. Will be in town all day for the game and heading back out Sunday morning.

Apologies for the multiple posts, not sure how that happened. Can use this one as the main thread.

First SEC Game

I am from Iowa and am in the area on a clinical rotation for physical therapy school. My dad and I wanted to experience the ultimate SEC environment with a night game at Death Valley so we will be there this Saturday for the Florida game which will also be our first ever SEC game. Just wanted to come on here and see if anyone could offer some guidance on where to tailgate, when to get there, or any other tips/tricks to get the full experience. We could not be more excited and look forward to the environment Saturday. We'll be rooting for the Tigers and wearing purple and gold! Thanks in advance.
