Friday
-Free drinks at Fred's in Tigerland from 8-10
-Walk to Bogies after Fred's to meet some ladies

Saturday
-Start at Dalrymple-Highland intersection and bounce around tailgates on the Parade Grounds.
-Visit other tailgates you've been invited to
-BYOB out of courtesy but expect to have all sorts of drinks forced upon you in addition to delicious grub.
-Check out Mike the Tiger's habitat and stumble into the game 45 minutes before kickoff to catch pregame
-Go to Walk-Ons, Fred's, or Bogies after the game


Solid advice, thank you sir :cheers:

See thats what so great about beer pong. You can play on just about any surface.


I think having 10 idle beers sitting in front of an Irish person is just too much for them to handle, so the game never gets off the ground.

We have a great tailgate group. That would welcome you. What's an email we can hook it up.

Some bars prefer you not wear a bunch of graphic t shirts and crap though. My best advice would be to just wear a collared shirt with kakhi shorts.


Awesome thanks.

Advice to all, never challenge an Irishman or woman to drinking competitions, trust me on this one.


We don't have beer pong tables in Ireland and hence suck at it. Sort of like kryptonite for Irish people while in the US! We'd prefer to sit in a dark corner and minimise interruptions to actual consumption.

One final question. Is it acceptable to wear shorts to a bar at night time or is there a strict dress code?

And all of these have higher alcohol content than the light beers most will be drinking so be sure to pace yourself.


That sounds like a challenge to me buddy!

You should try to find a group to meet through this board. I'm sure people will be willing to help.


Sounds like people are pretty welcoming to random Irish drunks showing up at their tailgate! But if anybody wants to arrange a meetup for a beer or two and explain the lay of the land we'd be happy to. Email address is in a previous post.

I'm really hoping for a 6pm kickoff!

Is it just me or is it awesome to be a Tiger? The fact that around the world we are known for this stuff. Absolutely awesome.


We have big sporting events and an 80,000 capacity stadium but most people have never even heard of tailgating here. Same goes for England. Tailgating at Tiger Stadium has been like our Mecca for a while now!

That LSU gear is awesome, defo getting a tshirt shipped over here before I go.

Namvet my email address is in an earlier post just above.

The bars in Baton Rouge only stay open until 2 AM (though that is later than the establishments in the Temple Bar district, if I recall correctly)


Copper Faced Jacks on Harcourt St stays open til 5/6!! Templebar is half the fun at twice the price of a good beering session in Dublin.

But definitely will try our best to make it down for 8ish. Want to experience as much as possible.

Sounds good, hope to hear from him. Will make our way to Parade Grounds in any case. We'll probably be the only ones wearing green as opposed to purple and gold so should be easy to pick out

That sounds awesome. I'd love to meet up and shoot the shite about Dublin (I'm from Cork but lived in Dublin for work) and Ireland in general. Email address is emmetdbrowne at gmail dot com. I can bring Irish flags and drunken soon-to-be-liabilities in return!

Really feeling the southern hospitality already!

If the game is on at 2pm, does tailgating really start at 8AM? Seems like a tough task considering the Tigerland open bars on Friday night..

Great, really appreciate the advice!

Yup staying in Belle of Baton Rouge. We have a car but planning to get a taxi to campus and just wander around. Stupid question but there's no need to have your own car to tailgate right? As long as I've a beer cooler with wheels that's all that's needed?

Game day will be day 9 of a 14 day bender so atleast one night in the gutter is inevitable really. Is Walk-ons the place to go after the game?

What made you choose to come to an LSU game?


Tailgating sounds like my idea of heaven. Football, beer, cajun food and women.

Will be in Austin the previous Saturday (Ole Miss @ Longhorns) but LSU tailgating sounds much better.

Sitting in section 610 but would be surprised if I'm not passed out in a gutter by kick-off.

I'll be in Dallas for a few days before hitting BR! What is the difference?

re: LSU Tailgating Advice

Posted by Leprechaun on 8/26/13 at 10:10 am to
Really can't wait for it now.

Food isn't going to be high on list of priorities but is there anywhere in BR we should really make an effort to try? I think Twin Peaks deserves a visit

Ok thanks for the advice. Is the 2 hour open bar as good as it sounds?

My friends and I are travelling to the U.S. from Ireland in September and have tickets for the Auburn @ LSU game. First college football game and first time tailgating. We're looking for some advice on what to do game day. Any tips would be appreciated, specifically;

What time to arrive at the stadium?
Can we buy beer/food there?
Where to go after the game?

We get into BR on Thursday and leave Sunday. Any suggestions on how to fill this time would also be welcome.

No girlfriends and all mid-twenties if that matters.
