I am attending a conference in New Orleans from September 27-29 and I’ve always wanted to attend a game at Tiger Stadium. Thinking about coming down on Thursday evening or Friday morning and heading to Baton Rouge for the A&M game, spending the night and heading to the conference Sunday morning. Any tips or suggestions you guys are willing to share?

Any local campus must sees?
Always heard awesome things about the tailgating scene. Any particular place to check out before the game?
Realize hotels are limited (checked today) but is it that difficult with traffic to stay a little further away from campus?
Particular seats or sections to buy/not buy? Seat with a seat back would be best for my wife
Do tickets for bigger SEC games tend to go down closer to game time or should I secure best seats I can now?

I’m sure I’ll have other questions but that’s it for now.

If anyone is planning a trip to Columbus or Pittsburgh, I’d be happy to repay the favor.
