re: Going to Baton Rouge for first time.

There are a lot of good places to eat near campus, but on game day they are all packed, and, to me, I'd much rather spend my time walking to all the tailgating around the stadium than wait in line at any restaurant. The Alive at Five downtown on Friday nite is a great way to start the evening,as you can drink outside there & then hit Third St (right there) and all the bars afterwards.Game day, get there early & walk around, as the tailgating is apread out all over campus. Just be prepared for the idiots that every team has, laugh it off, and you should have all you can eat & drink for the whole day. No glass containers allowed & it is policed, so grab a large coke cup at any nearby Circle K or similar stop, fill it up, cap it, and you are good to geaux.
