For Alabama vs. LSU in Baton Rouge, plan on a warm afternoon tailgate and a cooler fourth quarter: a purple or gold dress or sparkle tee for daylight, with a sweatshirt ready once the sun drops behind Tiger Stadium. Here's the full game plan for Tigers and Crimson Tide fans, from the tailgate to the drive home.
The Game: Alabama at LSU
- When: Saturday, Nov. 7, 2:30 p.m. CT on ABC
- Where: Tiger Stadium, Baton Rouge
- Why it matters: It's the SEC rivalry everyone circles in November, and this year it has big postseason stakes for both sides.
Early-November afternoons in Baton Rouge are often warm on the tailgate lot, but the sun sets before the game ends and it can cool off quickly. Dress for daylight, bring a layer for the second half and check the forecast before you leave.
