Alabama Crimson Tide @ LSU Tigers

🎪 TENT CRAWL This is an opportunity to experience both of our amazing LSU Tailgates for one price. LSU is known for night games at Death Valley, which means you can literally tailgate for 11 hours! What better way to experience the full LSU experience then by doing the Tailgate Connect ™ Tent Crawl! Both of our tailgates at LSU are amazing and unique and this will give you a chance for a one of a kind experience by sampling them all. Start early at one of our tailgates for breakfast or an early exquisite cajun lunch, then head to our next tailgate for some midday revelry and drinking games with perhaps a shot at the funnel of death! Enjoy some delicous Abita beer and getting fired up for a pre game frenzy while being steps away from the stadium. Geaux Tigers!

DAMN STRONG TAILGATE

This well known LSU tailgate is the most authentic Bayou experience you will find on campus on a football Saturday. They have been running this show for over 20 years now. Set about half way back in the lot, with a big kettle pot being stirred by a paddle, music playing, TVs going, you get the sense these are the superfans of the LSU Tigers. In fact, there is no game too early for this group to be up and running by 7 AM if need be for an 11 AM game.

The food varies from week to week, but be rest assured the amount of time and effort put into preparation is evident when you first taste what they are serving. Boudin, gumbo, homemade sausages and much more cajun faire. Ice cold beers, full bar and non-alcoholic beverages are also offered to guests. The average crowd is approximately 75+  with all ages represented. For a night game at Death Valley, you may actually get 12 hours of tailgating in, hence the name “Damn Strong”. These are some of the nicest people you could meet in Baton Rouge!

🕘 Tailgate opens 6 hours before kickoff

🍖 Food: Cajun Faire: Boudin, Gumbo, Homemade Sausages, etc

🍺 Drinks: Ice Cold Beers, Full Bar & Non-Alcoholic Beverages

KOCKA TAILGATING TAILGATE

At KOCKA, we believe LSU football is more than four quarters—it’s an all-day celebration. Welcome to KOCKA Tailgating, where Tigers fans have gathered for more than two decades to enjoy incredible Louisiana food, cold drinks, great friends, and unforgettable Saturdays in Baton Rouge.

Every home game, we host 80 to 100 guests, creating a welcoming atmosphere where first-time visitors quickly become part of the KOCKA family.

Our tailgate is always open by 8:00 AM, regardless of kickoff time. (In fact, our crew is usually on-site by 6:00 AM getting everything ready.) Whether it’s an early kickoff or a Saturday night in Death Valley, you will always have a place to gather before the game.

You’ll enjoy authentic Louisiana favorites like jambalaya, pastalaya, gumbo, and chili, along with beer, water, our signature KOCKAtion cocktail, and a select-game whiskey bar. Beneath the shade of LSU’s iconic stately oaks, our four 10×20 canopies and ample seating provide a comfortable place to relax, visit with friends, and soak in everything that makes an LSU game day special.

Game day at KOCKA is about much more than food and drinks. DJ Big B keeps the music going while our TVs broadcast football from around the country. Challenge your friends to cornhole, washers, or our legendary 8-Man Funnel of Death—one of KOCKA’s most talked-about traditions. We also host two tournament-style beer pong brackets each game day (one in the morning and another later in the day, depending on kickoff time). For a small entry fee, you can compete for bragging rights, prizes, and, of course, the title of KOCKA Beer Pong Champion. To compete, please contact us through the KOCKA website before game day so we can reserve your spot, process your entry fee, and provide you with that week’s official tournament times and rules.

Finding us is easy. We’re located on the Old Front Nine Parking Lot, marked by our 40-foot flagpole proudly flying both the American and LSU flags. If you can see the flags, you’ve found the party.

We begin packing up two hours before kickoff so everyone has plenty of time to make it into Tiger Stadium. While it takes our crew about an hour to break everything down, the fun doesn't stop when cleanup begins. The music keeps playing, the games continue, and there’s still plenty of time to socialize until the last few items are packed away. Our goal is to be completely wrapped up one hour before kickoff, giving everyone ample time to head to the stadium, find their seats, and experience one of college football’s greatest pregame traditions.

Whether you’re a lifelong Tiger or making your very first trip to Death Valley, there’s always room for one more at KOCKA.

For the full KOCKA experience… Geaux Ugly Early! It’s more than our motto—it’s our game day philosophy: get out there early, party all day, and cheer on the Tigers in Death Valley.

Geaux Tigers! 🐯💜💛
