Rhineux, I was a student worker last year in the ticket office, and we didn't send the opposing AD their ticket allotment until about 3 weeks out.

I'd start poking your nose in your ticket office Aug. 4th.

My buddy and I are making the trip in an rv. Gonna leave on Friday morning, does anyone know about tailgating areas near the stadium?

I am so glad football season is just around the corner!!!!!

Your best hotels are going to be on the other side of I-59, off Hardy/Hwy 98.

It's about a ten minute drive (maybe fifteen on gameday) to the parking areas for the stadium, but all the chain restaurants are within walking distance of the hotels.

All the good local cuisine is within walking distance of The Rock, particularly Divine Swine for BBQ.

I prefer Chesterfield's the talent there is amazing.

Chesterfield's is good, but I'd really recommend Purple Parrot/Crescent City Grill over them. The last few times I've been to CF's (and on a students budget, its not often ha), my steaks have been severely undercooked.

As far as RV tailgating near the stadium, GOOD LUCK! That's the best I can offer.

The only place near the stadium to park an RV would be on Loyalty Field, and the pass for the area is only gained by paying into the $2,500 or $1,500 Eagle Club levels I believe. The Eagle Club handles all Game-Day parking and tailgating locations on campus and near the stadium though, so you might want to give them a ring tomorrow and talk to them about something for visiting fans.

(601)266-5299 will put you to their front desk.

Hope that helps.

I did not know anyone ever went there for the food. Lol

Visitor RV parking for football is the Pete Taylor Park (Baseball) parking lot. Contact the Southern Miss Ticket Office for details on an RV pass for that lot....1-800-844-TICK.

That's bad info. Ticket Office will just forward you to Eagle Club.

 UL's football team, recently picked to finish sixth out of eight schools in the Sun Belt Conference's preseason poll, got a little more respect from the experts at Lindy's magazine.

Lindy's pegged the Ragin' Cajuns for fourth in the Sun Belt and 108th in the NCAA's Football Bowl Subdivision.

Last season the Cajuns ranked seventh nationally in rushing yards per game (251.6) and boasted two 1,000-yard rushers in quarterback Michael Desormeaux and running back Tyrell Fenroy. But the Cajuns ranked 115th nationally in passing yards per game (155.5) and near the bottom nationally in defense in part because of injuries.
