As far as your experience tailgating I have read online about people saying they had bad experiences but I have never seen that going on in person. Maybe some of the college age guys get out of hand but I have never seen people being anything but nice. I think the secret is to play along, when you get upset they get worse!!! It is just a very different culture than you will find in other southern states. Lots of people love it, but its not for everyone.

You have to realize that Louisiana was the last state to accept the 21 age for drinking - and we did it to get federal highway tax money. It was 18 for years before that. You are right - it's different there....thank goodness!
