New season ticket holder

[T-1000]

Hey guys (gals?),

I'm relatively new to the area but am a big college football fan. So my wife and I invested in some season tickets for the 2009 season and I was just coming on here to get some feedback on certain things. Stuff like parking, tailgating, things to do before the game, etc. Just basic stuff that I figure you guys know all about. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot, and I hope to meet some of you guys during the course of the season.

Hey congrats!

Most tailgating spots are reserved, so they cost. Others on here know where and cost of these spots, and where there are non-reserved spots. I happended to stumble on Clutch and ZEE and they let me tailgate with them, people are usually generous here. They have a live band on the southwest entrance before the games.

Some of these other guys can fill you in more because, I am usually inebriated and dont know what is actually going on

YOU have got to go to the OAK---lot of guys from the board---located by a big oak tree near the outer fence on Bertrand---the Krewe de Chew located by the electrical building and the former Cajun footballers between the elec. building and the bball stadium---Just walk up and say Geaux Cajuns!!!! OH ---get some friends to go with you and come early---to get preferred parking you need to be a RCAF member!!!!!

that S'west entrance is called the STATE FARM GATE because the local group has put up 35k each year for the naming rights every year!!!! Some agents did not participate Ask your State Farm Agent if they participated!!!!!!!

Welcome aboard. Come by and visit the Krewe de Chew. We abut the west side of the Maintenance building. No need to bring anything except the urge to sample our food and beverages. Can't miss us...two big white tents side by side, music, food, dancing, prominent Krewe de Chew signage.

Sounds great, I appreciate it. Since I didn't go to UL, I'll be a little lost at first I'm sure. But by mid-season I should be rolling along quite nicely.

I'll be sure to come by and visit all of you as the season progresses. One of the things that got the wife to go along with it was the idea of meeting new people and friends. So that's what we plan to do.

Keep the suggestions coming if there are any more.

Watch out for that Zee character, I've heard things about him.

Go see Charlie at the Krewe...he is the best host in the world and a great guy. They will make you feel so welcome.

½ of what you hear is true, the other ½ is not false!

[anhil8tor]

If you donate a certain amount to the RCAF you get a parking pass...

[Zeebart21]

The "Krewe de Chew" is the premiere tailgating set up! Mr Charlie is a kick in the pants. You will be treated like royalty!

Come by the "Eaque" when you have a chance.....we'll throw empty beer cans and chicken bones at you.....

J/k.....we are pretty much fun, too!

What part of the country are you from and who's your alma mater? While RED is the preferred color in Lafayette, no one will bash you if you wear your school logo. We are all proud of our university and you should be, too. Glad to have your support of UL athletics.
