Ole Miss Tailgating Question

Posted on 5/2/16 at 1:49 pm
I posted this on the main board too so I am not sure if it will get me more information here or not but a buddy and myself are planning to come from Nebraska to Oxford for the the UGA game. We are looking for bars to hit up and wanted to know about the Grove and what it is like and if we can carry around booze as long as it is in a solo cup?
Are most of the tailgates pretty open and inviting?
I did hear about the library bar but people were saying they charge like 80 dollars to get in?
The reason I posted this here too is on the main board a lot of people started to kind of slam Ole Miss a bit. We are just looking to enjoy the experience and have a good time!

I looked at the thread and you got pretty much all the info in there.
That's probably going to be the best game to go to. Both fanbases are pretty similar, it will be a big game and shouldn't be too much heckling.
You can carry any alcohol you want as long as it is in a solo cup. Bring a rolling cooler with a master lock. Tailgates are ridiculously inviting and you will have a good time.
How old are you? The library isn't really worth it wit so many options but it does get pretty Insane on football weekends. If you are young or into young puss... The library may be worth the outrageous cover ha.

Well, I do like young puss! Ha!
Man, a few other people mentioned the lock on the cooler.

Cops can look into your cooler and pour out your beer if it is left alone. Therefore, the lock will prevent them of doing that.

There's no need for a lock on the cooler because of cops or anything. If you're not a young dumbass the cops will never mess with your cooler.
The reason to have a lock on coolers is because high school/college dumbasses will stumble around the grove during the game raiding coolers. I've had mine pillaged countless times and it sucks pretty hard.

Hope you end up coming and having a great time! First thing I would look into is hotels or a place to stay that weekend. They fill up fast and it will already be tough to find a place to find.

There is absolutely no chance there is still a room available in Oxford for that weekend.
Posted on 5/3/16 at 7:36 am to OBReb6
Yeah, I figured they would fill up fast and possibly be gone. Where would you stay if you can't stay in Oxford?
Posted on 5/3/16 at 7:38 am to OBReb6
Thanks! I know for Husker games the cops basically leave you alone if you are not causing issues.

Stay in Tunica if you like to gamble. About an hour and 15 minute drive. Memphis has a lot of options especially if you want to spend a night out there.
Closer options would be batesville, maybe pontotoc? Both are little shite hole towns, but it's just a place to sleep.

Always could stay in Tupelo too. Bit longer drive than both Batesville and Pontotoc, but it's a nicer city.

Thanks guys...I am looking at AirBnB right now and man some awesome price inflation going on! The hotels looked pretty booked up.
One house was going for 5,500 a night.

What do the cops think is in the cooler?
Posted on 5/3/16 at 9:45 am to HuskerFan75
Like I said, they 99% of the time don't care and won't mess with you. There's a few horror stories out there you'll hear from time to time, but you usually got to be an absolute a-hole for them to say anything to you.
Even then, only beer is illegal on campus while liquor and wine is completely legal. Funny, I know.

Great question, the only thing I can think of is that alcohol is "not allowed" on school grounds so they look into coolers that are left alone and pour it out.
Also, a lock on the cooler will prevent anyone for that matter from stealing your beer. High school kids like to hang out in the grove during the game and go through coolers.

Depends on your age. Library is the famous one, but it will be $20-40 cover unless you get there really early (like 8:00 on Gameday weekends).
Boure has a great balcony
Rafters is the new up and coming Library and cover has not been out the arse.
City Grocery and The Burgundy Room are right by each other and are good bars for starting off the night.
If you're under 21, I'd recommend the Corner or the Levee.
Funky's is a good New Orleans style bar that serves decent pizza.
Roosters is a decent Blues Bar but is where Sophomores mostly hang out.

You can actually openly carry a whole bottle of bourbon and it's no big deal. If you bring an ice chest, put a lock on it and you'll be fine.

Highly. We love entertaining people from out of town. Hospitality is what the Grove is all about. You should have a blast. Tents all next to each other and it really is a gigantic cocktail party. Come eat, drink, and be merry.
