Hey y'all I'm coming down to LSU for the first time this weekend with three other UVA guys. We've been to USC, UGA, and Bama in the past three years. So far, Athens has been our best trip. What do we need to do and where do we need to go to get Baton Rouge to the top of the list?
Tiger bait Florida when they get off the bus. Make sure to catch LSU band and team coming down victory hill. Visit Mikes penthouse but don't try to pet him. Yell, cheer, stomp and be active in the crowd cheers during the game. And try the blackened gator at chimes. Enjoy yourselves!
Get there early and tailgate with everyone.....around 9:00 am or so, walkl around and let everyone know that yall are from Virginia and here to experience the LSU tradition, they will be very hospitable and feed you and more than likely have you drink with them, just take it all in. You might want to visit, the chimes, and walk-ons among other places afterwards.....and make sure you come back on here and let us know about your experience!!
And 1 more thing. Before heading back to Virginia. Stop at a local meet market and carry back some of the local favorites. I recommend some Boudain and a crawfish stuffed chicken breast for starters.
If you should happen to need to get out of the sun for awhile before the game, the student union has places to sit and people watch. They also have a food court there, however, the food you get there won't be as good as what's cooking under the tents outside. Enjoy your visit!
For a bunch of corn dog smelling Cajuns you guys are consistently welcoming to fans coming to Tiger Stadium for the first time, makes me proud to be a Tiger at heart. Geaux Tigers!
