We chose Homecoming as our first home game experience, my husband's first time in Athens and wants the full football experience starting first thing Saturday morning. What do you recommend? Where should our day begin...Where do we get the best tailgate experience? Is the parade worth watching?
Thanks for the input!
First, get to Athens EARLY to secure parking. By early, I mean 8:30am at the very latest. Aim to park at either Clippinger, or out by the hospital/physical plant, or across from the HDL center.
On homecoming, I'm pro-tailgating because of the bar crowds. But, if you've never done it, you absolutely must see the parade, in particular the 110 and the 110 Alumni. On Homecoming, I'd also recommend hanging around for the post game band show.
