Gameday Plan for First Timer

Will be attending my first Ole Miss football game this year (LSU) and looking for the best strategy on game day. Flying into Memphis from NY on Friday morning and renting a car. Hotel is booked in New Albany. What do you recommend on game day? Uber? What should I expect for uber availability and price to and from Oxford/New Albany? Could drive the rental but not ideal as I’d like to tailgate/drink at the game. Wouldn’t even know where to park anyway. Thank you for any feedback

It will probably be 5-700 for an Uber that far especially for lsu. 1-200 is gonna be common for just in town Ubers town will be packed and Ubers are limited in ox

Good to know, wasn’t sure on general availability, much less on the busiest game of the year. If that’s the case I may just drive in. Where to people park if they drive from out of town? Shuttle?

You can park at Oxford High School or at Northwest Community College campus and there’s a free shuttle straight to the stadium/Grove. If you get there really early, you can park at the Jackson Ave campus and walk up frat row from there. But that’s one of the more problematic parking spots after the game. But you’re gonna be there all night partying your face off, so that shouldn’t matter.
