As a Miss State fan, I found this thread hilarious. I personally would like to welcome Wildcat Nation to StarkVegas. I went to optometry school with a guy from K-State in the mid 90's. Great guy! So for those of you making to trip, I can let you in on some tidbits and advice for Starkville and Mississippi State. First and foremost, food and drink: There is an area called the Cotton District that is close to campus. It has some good places to eat and drink. Limited size places and limited parking. It is an area that is growing and will have much more to offer by 2020. Check out Bin 612, Two Brother's(bbq tacos and smoked meats), Commodore Bobs and Bulldog Burger(upscale burger place with adult milkshakes with alcohol). Downtown you have Restaurant Tyler, The Grill, and on Hwy 12 you have Harvey's. Little Dooeys is world famous due to Herbstreit and Corso but it is meh. You guys being from Kansas won't like it IMO. Pettys is a shack on 12 that has lot's of good food including BBQ. Dave's Darkhorse Tavern has good pizza and so does Lost Pizza co. Starkville is a small town but becomes packed on Friday night especially in the Cotton District. So go early to eat.
Now Gameday:Parking is a nightmare. There are pay lots just off of campus that are only $10 and you can ride a bus in. Most of the lots are Bulldog Club only closer to Davis-Wade Stadium. There are some grass lots fairly close that are $30. They only take debit or credit. Again get there early. We will start tailgating around 8:00 am. As far as our fans, most of us are welcoming unless you are a Bammer or Corn Dog just kidding. We welcome all fans at our tailgate. You'll find most people polite and welcoming. Last year we had fans from every team that we played at home stop by and visit. I expect a knock down drag out of a game. Should be a good one. Good Luck and safe travels.
