We went in 2023 for the Friday night game (Skenes won).

We bought tickets along the 3rd base line where they have an open terrace area. We were able to bring our own tailgate chairs, found a spot for 3 of us down the 3rd base line in the outfield. The beer stand was close by, people around us were great.

Also went in 2022 for the football game. Both times we went the people were very friendly, ate at The Hound both times (bacon flight is great).
Hey CheerWhine

We are the ones with the flagpole. It was great meeting you and glad you found us and able to hang all day. Also glad you got that water bottle in!

Find us if you make it in for Ole Miss.

Geaux Tigahs!

If you want to do a weekend type trip, the Viking Cooking School in Greenwood Miss is great. They have theme classes (steak, fish) usually on a Friday night. The class is with 5 or 6 other couples - lots of wine and the food was great.

Warning: it is hard to walk out of the Viking store after the class and not buy something - not cheap, but great stuff.

The Alluvian Hotel is right across the street - makes for a great weekend getaway.

re: LSU football has never.....

LSU football has had issues with the NCAA before. If I remember correctly, LSU had issues with the Academic Ctr for Athletes when Saban was here - tutors giving students inappropriate help with tests/projects. I think they had to hire an academic compliance officer.

It happens at every university - thankfully this looks minor.
Olde Tyme. Just keep walking down the bike path along Nicholson from Tailgatin Tigers Nicholson/Burbank tailgate to Tiger stadium.

Our tailgate (Tiger Tailgating.com)is along that bike path as well - you will see 10-12 gator fans at ours as well - lots of friends coming in town for this one. We have 5 tents with a blue FEMA tarp over the whole thing - closer to the old Alex box on the bike path.

Y'all are welcome to stop by... fahitas (beef, chicken, gator) on the menu.

Only downside is they don't serve beer.


I was in there last week and they serve beer now...limited selection of the usual bottled beer.

As far as Arky, I've never really been interested in going to Little Rock, but I would go to Fayetteville if they ever move the game there.


My brother lives in LR so we alternate Thanksgiving between here and there. Dump of a stadium and small!

I would definitely go as well if they moved it to Fayetteville. My other brother lived there for several years and he liked going to games there.

Florida and Kentucky are the last two I need to complete the conference tour.

I have a ranking of about 3000 and I'm in Section 5. How did that happen?

Don't know, I go to 2-3 road games a year and my tickets are usually in the upper deck (except Arky).
My TAF ranking is 4100 or so, just looked and my 2 tickets are Section 1, Row V.

Thanks - just bought 4!
We tailgate in that area and stay after the game. Our area gets picked up by us but some guy came behind us and started EMPTYING the trash can on the ground to get the cans.

We said something and he moved on but I am sure he did that all the way down the entire tailgate area.

That is not to say some groups don't clean up their stuff, definitely something everyone needs to do.

Now, if only we could stop the constant public urination on the bike path in that area in front of our kids and guests. Nothing like having your 10 yr old daughter going to retrieve the football, only to find some idiot peeing by the truck holding his johnson...
Booked it last week. I looked around and not much to chose from (Thur-Sun) within any kind of close distance to the stadium. I couldn't find anything near the stadium and I don't think there was much in terms of entertainment around the stadium.

The Courtyard looks close the bars/restaurant area.

I see the note about the Clarion... if it was just guys going, that would have worked - we don't spend much time in the room.

However, I was prohibited by the wives from booking anything less that Courtyard type hotels from our experience at the Ole Miss/LSU game two years ago - we (4 couples) stayed at the downtown Best Western (Memphis) across from the Peabody and it was terrible.

When you got off the elevator there were no lights in the hall - total darkness. Rooms were dirty/worn, our rooms on the back hall got to enjoy the trash trucks emptying dumpsters at 4am - woke us up even after drinking until 2am. If I screw up again, they will plan this stuff.

re: FIRST TIME visitor to LSU

I know you will have a great time. I enjoyed the last trip to Athens (before kickoff) and met some great people - although walking down fraternity row was an "experience" in LSU gear with the wives/girlfriends.

As others have said, tailgaters will take good care of y'all on gameday. We always have the visiting team fans at our tailgate - we are even related to some of them.

This game (or Bama) is most likely our annual camp out game, depending on weather. We will be tailgating starting at 2 or 3pm on Friday. Poker, lots of beer/food, and the wives send the kids out with us to camp out.

We would be glad to have y'all come by. We are on Nicholson, 200-300 yds from the stadium, between the bike path and railroad track, between the two baseball stadiums (old & new Alex Box). Email me at smith427@bellsouth.net and I will send you a map of our exact location that also has some landmarks for that side of campus mentioned in other posts.
