What to Wear: Show some spirit! You are there to support your team, so dress for the occasion. From ball caps to fun shirts, many local shops offer apparel perfect for game day. Check out some of those here.

Parking: As the crowds continue to grow, the need for parking grows too. Refer to the map below to see all of the available parking options. For all home games, there's also a free shuttle service offered. It picks up at Railroad Park in downtown, stops by the W. Mississippi lot on campus, and then drops off at the stadium. The Tech Trolley runs continuously two hours prior to kick-off and one hour after the game ends.

Tailgating: There are a number of ways to take part in the tailgating experience. The Argent Pavilion is host to the Louisiana Tech Alumni Association Tailgate. They usually have a great offering of food and drinks, and it’s a prime spot to catch up with former classmates. There is also plenty of group and corporate tailgating that takes place in Bulldog Village adjacent to the Argent Pavilion. Most tailgaters will welcome any friendly fan. Contact the LTAC and Alumni Association office (318-255-7950) for more information on tailgating spots.
