Is it safe? I know they have had some issues recently.

It's becoming sketchier. Crime tends to be scattered across the city...

As far as the "game day experience", not exactly frenzied. Last year I drove through the intersection in front of the stadium at about 11:00 on the morning of the first SEC home game. Got through the light on the first cycle. The District (downtown) is nice; plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance of each other. (Hope you like wings & sliders.) IMO, the best restaurant is Glenn's Cafe-in the lobby of the Tiger Hotel.
