Word out, Saturday looks to have +100K in the stadium and another 100k on campus not going into the stadium, just tailgating. 200K on campus.
I don't have tickets but gave serious consideration to coming to campus just to tailgate. I've got a hookup that gets me free parking on Skip Bertman Drive one lot west of the train tracks. In fact, I went to campus just for tailgating when Florida played here in 2005 and had a ball. But this weekend, my son has a soccer game at 11:30, which with his dysfunctional league means it won't start until noon, so it won't be over until 1 and I won't get out of the park until 1:15 or 1:30. Best case scenario is that I'd be parked by 2:30 but it would probably be closer to 3. That's just not enough time to tailgate and find a comfy spot to watch the game.
Your son needs to experience the LSU-Bama Gameday atmosphere more than he needs to play some sissy game of kickball. Bring him with you. I have heard of cases where a really psycho defendant is kept locked up during his trial but can participate in the proceedings via TV
I have a friend that called me, I gave her an address of a good friend of mine, his house is right across from the LSU lakes. I have a few spots when I need to park. Years ago, I use to bring some limb cutters for a spot I had near campus. I'd trim up these trees and back right in.
A friend of mine lives in the neighborhood by Delgado Street off Highland Road. I have parked at his house before but that't a lot further than I am willing to walk these days
