Chimes/Varsity is a good experience on game days with rain. Try to get to Chimes around 11:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m., then eat lunch, then walk to the back of the building to the Varsity and watch games on their big screens. If you have to wait on a table at Chimes, just wait in the Varsity until your table is ready.

Alternatively, go off campus to Mike Anderson's and sit in the bar area. TV's and great food. Not near as crowded as Chimes.

If it is not raining on Saturday morning, try to park at U-High and walk the lakes and sorority houses in the morning. If you start at U-High, you will finish your walk at Miller Dorm (the freshman girls' dormitory) and you can drop in and see if they can show you a room.

For a longer walk, my daughter (graduate 2016) and I typically walk the entire campus on Saturday morning of game day. We stay at Lod Cook Hotel and walk down Dalrymple, to the Indian Mounds, then down Victory Hill, stop at the Tiger Den, then around the stadium to Stadium Drive, Stadium Drive to Lakeshore and finish by walking down sorority row. Great morning walk and we get to see everyone setting up their tailgates and getting ready for the day. McNeese game will be a little light on tailgating, but it still puts you in the mood. If you want to add on something, stop at the Bookstore on your way out or your way back to Lod Cook Hotel. You can buy great LSU swag there. You can also walk around the Student Union in bad weather.

Don't forget Coffee Call for beignets on Saturday morning or on Sunday morning after the game.

Weather permitting, get the Times of Interest from the LSUsports.net page. Normally posted by Friday afternoon. It tells you the exact times when the team, band, etc. walk down Victory Hill. She doesn't want to miss that. If the weather is not good, get down there early and stay dry in the PMAC (it is open to everyone) until the team and band walk down.

If you want to go off campus, try Superior Grill on Government, but you probably need a reservation.

If she is into shopping, try Vertage Clothing store on Perkins for game day outfits. My daughter loves to shop there.

For the game, wear a rain suit and shoes that can get wet. No umbrellas allowed, but try to stay as dry as possible.

I hope this helps. All of this sold my daughter on LSU and why she still goes to LSU games with me today, even though she lives in Nashville.

Ole Miss was only loud because of the piped in music (I know, I was there).

Ole Miss violated SEC rules by playing piped music even during the snaps. SEC rules required the PA, band and piped music to stop once the center has his hands on the ball. LSU follows those rules.

Ole Piss (and Bama ) fans waved pom pom's and act like that makes noise. Tiger Stadium is unmatched for crowd noise. You must be watching the games on your TV.

The A&M crowd was not a loud as the Clemson crowd because the game was never really in doubt after the 1st quarter.

Lastly, the noise is not even comparable between LSU and other football stadiums.

FYI - SEC rules require that the band seats (if the band comes) are in the lower stadium. When LSU's band was in the upper deck in Austin in 2019, Texas was not in the SEC and those rules did not apply.

SEC rules provide that a minimum allotment of 5,000 tickets for visitors, with at least 2,000 of those seats located in the lower level of the stadium.

At least 1,000 of the visiting team's tickets must be grouped together inside a single continuous block.

I met Mr. Bob Pettit when I was 4 - 5 years old at our church, FUMC, in Lake Charles. He spoke and gave a Christian witness. I think it was some time around 1965. I shook hands with him after he talked and I remember he had the biggest hands I have ever held. Of course, I was just a youngster, but that memory is still with me today. RIP Mr. Pettit. A legend in our hearts and minds.
