Mighty generous Tim! I’ll reach out via email. Thank you!
Appreciate the recs! Sounds like Chimes is a must.
We’re on it! Believe we’re all for team Geaux in this one and 5/6 of us will be sporting purple and gold.
Yeah, bummed it isn’t a night game, but Baton Rouge is one of a handful of places that we’ll surely do more than once. Will have to get back for a prime time kick.

Appreciate the sentiment!
The smart ones in our group are Cyclones. Couple Hawkeye fans and a Northern Iowa Panther.

We generally (not always or all of us every time) root for the home team and will gear up that the bookstore and wear LSU stuff in this instance other than me. I always wear Iowa State stuff. Will probably try to go black or grey though so I dont look like I’m rooting for the tide.
Off the top of my head (probably missing something):

Alabama @ Tennessee
Texas vs OU @ Cotton Bowl
LSU @ Arkansas
Notre Dame @ Michigan
Stanford @ Notre Dame
Michigan @ Penn State
USC @ UCLA
Iowa State @ Kansas State
Minnesota @ Iowa
Nebraska @ Colorado
USC @ Oregon
LSU @ Texas A&M


And of course we’ve all seen Iowa State vs Iowa both places several times.

One year half the group was having kids all spread out a month in the fall so we had to do bball instead and went to Illinois @ Indiana.
Hey gang, you probably get some variation of this frequently, but hoping you can humor me and share some insights.

Group of buddies and I take a trip each year for a college rivalry game going on 15 years or so now and we’ll be visiting for the game against Alabama this weekend. 6 guys in our mid 30s all originally from the same modest hometown in Iowa looking to cut loose a little bit on a rare weekend without the wives and kids and looking for advice on the must sees/dos, etc.

We’ll get into Baton Rouge tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon and will probably be looking to go out to bars somewhere. Friday we’ll likely check out campus, Mike’s habitat and do the bball game on Friday night to see the arena. Saturday we’ll likely be in lot 408 as our home base/jumping off point and roam some from there.

Looking for any/all recommendations on where to eat, bars to go to, other things to do in BR, bets tailgates/areas to check out on game day (the more Cajun/creole the better imo). We have seats up top (637 I think) with chairbacks, but some of us might be looking to upgrade to lowers. If anyone has any leads on anything better than secondary market feel free to let me know. Also willing to sell some of what we have up top for a bit less than secondary market prices if that’s of interest to anyone.

Wouldn’t be opposed to recommendations for best late night spots on bourbon street in NO too (first time, two of us on the plane that way as I type this).

Appreciate the consideration and any help you might be able to provide!
