Hello All: We are a huge football family, UVA grad and big LSU fan. Never been there before. Been wanting to get to a game with my son for several years. Planning on coming to the Florida game and had some questions. Where should we sit to best soak up the atmosphere. Need to see and enjoy the band. Should we sit near the band? Where should we stay and any tips on getting in and out? Saw some parking passes for sale. Is that recommended? What activities are a must see? Whether Friday night, pre game or after the game. My son is a sophomore in high school, so unfortunately, no strip clubs. Thanks a lot for any help ya'll can give me Go Hoos! GEAUX Tigers! bobby

Thanks for the replies. If I fly into BR, any thoughts on.. where to stay? Or should I fly into New Orleans?
IF it's a 7pm gametime then the players walk down at 4:50pm Mike the tiger at 5:25pm (IF his handlers can entice him into his 'mobile playbox' The Golden Band from Tigerland marches down the hill at 5:30pm
I would fly into New Orleans(MSY), stay on the South side of BTR. This is a good place to stay, has a Hooters (Oh wait) and a T.J.Ribs real close. Also when heading back to NO, just hop back on I-10. Google Maps Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks. If I do that, what are my best options getting to the game and back? I hear it takes a "while" to get out. Anything for my son and I to do while we wait?
