Want to attend a college game when in town, what should I do?
Hello, so 4 of us from UK are visiting your fair city in around three weeks, and for me at least, I'm a fan of (American) football and want to attend a game in person. Now, I only really follow NFL, my college ball knowledge is limited to name recognition. The dilemma I have is that we could go to either the Tulane game or LSU. Now, from this point on I beg forgiveness for any ignorance in my own lack of knowledge. I know LSU is a top tier team in SEC, the best conference(?) Looking at stadium capacities alone, I'm trying to sell LSU as the difference (in our soccer terms) as going to see our local team vs going to the Camp Nou (FC Barcelona). The other 3 in our group have no real interest or knowledge in football, but they don't mind going to a game for the whole gameday experience. What they don't really want to do is be on the freeway back to NO at 11pm on our only Saturday night when they could be already there, which is understandable.
So, is it worth going to LSU and forgoing most of our only Saturday night, or going to Tulane and basically getting the same experience. If you were a football fan, would you go to LSU alone and let them do their own Saturday? Unless the nightlife on Sundays is pretty much the same as Saturday, I doubt I can convince them to go to LSU. If I'm only going for the general experience of attending a game and not too concerned with the level of football, should I just go to Tulane? If you're a Tulane fan, I really am sorry if I am belittling your team, but as a super casual fan who only really knows about 10-15 college teams, I hope you can see where I'm coming from. Any advice is appreciated.
