We are staying in Lexington at Wyndym Wingate. Idea was to make it downtown to the arena and park around 1pm, check out the Vista, take the shuttle to the game 3hr before and hit up the tailgating. Any hitches in that plan? Also, any idea if there is a time when the Arena parking lot opens? Saw when the shuttles started but not when the lot opened.

Thanks in advance and look forward to Thursday.

Sounds workable I might start at noon though. I have been told lots open to the public about 30mins before the shuttles start but I don't know for sure. There is a parking garage behind the Hilton if the lot has not opened when you want to go down to the Vista. If in town for more than one night try lunch at the Flight Deck in Lexington.

Ate at Halls Chophouse tonight. Food and service were fantastic. Owner stopped by all tables to make sure everything is up to par. we talked about the good guys and the game Thursday. I highly recommend this place to all Ags spending time in Charleston.

Great information.

Thanks Gamecockhub

I have a spot in the fairgrounds rv lot. Anyone know if they have hook ups for sure? (Just a little pull behind camper, really just need electric) I Dont pick up my tag until tomorrow, but would hate to get there and be SOL.

I don't know. Google maps pictures look like there are some hook ups, but who knows if we have them or not. Gonna make sure I got water on board.

Emc 77

I called and that's a negative on hook ups... Guess I'm gonna have to look into generators...

Luckily the motorhome has a generator. Going to need it with the temps on Thursday....

Southern Belly BBQ has good reviews.

Where is a good breakfast place ? Want to enjoy a good local cafe vs hotel. Thanks.

Cafe Strudel and the Original Pancake House have good yelp feedback. I may try one of those tomorrow morning.

Both Original Pancake House and cafe Strudel are great! Original pancake house is outstanding!!!

Thanks !

I apologize if this has been asked and answered. Are there any good options for eating AFTER the game? Especially if we can make a reservation.

Thanks and Gig'em!

Given that it will be around 9-10PM your best bet is to check with restaurants in the Vista especially those like Liberty Tap Room, Flying Saucer and others that are both bar and Restaurant. These serve food later than those that are first and foremost a restaurant .
Check here but I would call any I planned to go to the be sure. 2 fat 2 fly is a food truck so i would skip that one as well as any listed in Camden(too far away)

Where should we park for tailgating?

SugarLandAg09

As stated in many other posts there are lots along Bluff Rd. from Rosewood Drive on down past the stadium toward I-77 and the fairgrounds. Any of these are good. Closer to the stadium the more they cost. Also some parking around Seawells on Rosewood drive across from the fairgrounds.

Everyone:
Last post as i am headed out to the game. Hope this has been helpful and informative! Go Cocks! and may neither team have any injuries!

Thanks for all the info. Come by for a Beer.

Here is where I am.

Whoop!

Congratulations Aggies! Well won and played game!

Classy, gamecockhub! Thanks. Great place. Obviously had a great time.

Thank you for the helpful info!

Gamecock, thanks for the tips, it was a great game and you have some great fans. I hope you travel to CS next year so we can return the favor. Good luck the rest of the way and we will be seeing you again next fall.
