we are trying to find out the best place to park for the game. we plan on getting there 4 hours before the game. any recommendations?
Kirby-Smith lot is a good spot, free, not far from the Stadium. Should still be able to get a park there at that time.
If you come four hours early you will find plenty of free parking. The north side lots are small and fill up quickly. Avoid parking in the high-crime neighborhood to the north of campus, the better parking is on the south side anyway. If you run late, the big grass lots off the river road aren't that far from the stadium.

Mike Andersons, Phil's Oyster Bar, Drusilla Seafood, and Ralph & Kacoos are the most popular. All will be crowded on game weekends but you can get in with a reasonable wait, they are used to it. TJ Ribs is especialy good at moving a crowd through on game day and serves fine BBQ. Good Bar & Grills abound. The Chimes, Walk-on's, The Pastime, Georges, Ivars, Sammy's and Brewbachers are all great LSU bars with excellent food. Juban's is kind of upscale but has the best Louisiana cuisine. And don't forget 24-hour breakfast at Louie's Cafe, a classic diner with the best omelettes and burgers in town. Welcome to Baton Rouge.
