I'm less sure of this. I live and work between where you're staying and the stadium. I rarely go outside of those neighborhoods for everything. For the most part, there aren't very many sports bars downtown (I think Gusanos markets themselves as this? I've never been) so I don't think you'll find too many sanctioned pregame parties. That said, if you have any UGA related gear on, it's going to be an invitation to talk football. There will be folks everywhere who will want to talk football. So just go to the place that looks the best to you downtown.

THAT SAID - There are places West of the stadium that will probably be doing this. I don't know anything about them, outside of saying that they're less centralized. Also, there's a neighborhood in North Little Rock that's just across the river from where you're staying called Argenta. They've got a pretty good vibe going on to.

On Saturday night, if I were you I'd hit the River Market or Argenta. Immediately after the game though, take a crew and go check out White Water Tavern. Bret Bielema likes it. It's a dive, but great history (Clinton used to take his staff there for food all the time. The kitchen is now closed, but they keep the drinks coming). Later on that night Bonnie Montgomery is playing, and if you're really somber about things and want to listen to some good country music. Otherwise, go find some centralized place. You can't go wrong. Just don't go some place and stay through it. If it sucks, go next door.
