It may be blasphemous for a self proclaimed baseball fan that bleeds purple and gold to say I have…read morenever been to an LSU baseball game, but sadly until Saturday night this was the case. I have been to countless football games, basketball games and even an intramural rugby game at LSU. Alex Box does an unbelievable job documenting LSU's baseball success through out its history with plaques of All-American Players banners of their 6 NCAA Championships, and a Hall of Fame inside the stadium. The Hall of Fame is free to ticket holders and stays open through out the 7th inning. The stadium itself is very nice, better than a lot of minor league stadiums I have been too. The fan support is also unbelievable!! Tiger fans boo every ball and cheer every stike to the opposing team. "Geaux Tigers!" will be chanted through out the game and not 1 fan dares not join in. There are playgrounds on each end of the stadium for the kiddos to play. Ticket prices are dirt cheap! 5.53 will get you a seat in the bleachers if you are lucky enough to buy them without a scalper. (I paid 20.00 a piece for these as the game was sold out). So why not 5 stars? Well the Tigers lost for 1 so that dampered my mood and no beer at college venues. I hate that rule as beer and baseball are like peanut butter and jelly. Overall though a great place to watch a game.

This place is awesome. I get chill bumps every time I walk up the stairs and see the field. There…read moreis not a bad seat in the stadium. I love stadium food and they definitely have it. Some of the items are a little on the small side but has a large price. I can normal fresh a hot dog before I even make it back to my seat. On this occasion I had chicken tenders and french fries, and a bottle of water. It was $11.50. Luckily I had enough beers tailgating to not care how much it was. I don't even have say I'll be back because that should be understood. GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!

In its second year, the Mid City Mardi Gras Parade has really taken off with the quirky…read moreneighborhood vibe! 2018 was a lot of fun, but 2019 had twice the participants and ten times the fun! From the squirrels decorating the route, to the homemade throws abound, lots of fun music, kids, the Baby Cakes and the BienYays, and of course the debut of the Men at Twerk all male performance group (most making their debut of public performing), there were fun surprises all around! I look forward to seeing this event grow in this area of Baton Rouge that is experiencing a revival!

This was such a fun parade. The parade is still a youngen (only 2 years-old), but man it had spunk!…read moreDancers, circus performers, marching bands and plenty of creative floats. It started on North Blvd & 22nd Street (mid-city) and ended at Baton Rouge Community College on a lovely Sunday afternoon. I love seeing how Baton Rouge is quickly rising to be a Mardi Gras season parade destination. This year, the parade went hippie and the theme was "Peace, Love & Nuts". There were lines and crowds of spectators ready to lift their hands up in the air to catch some throws. Beads were flying and cheers were rolling. This was very much a family-friendly parade, so when it rolls around next year, bring your kiddos. In fact, bring the whole family. After all the rain we had in the previous days to the parade, the day ended up being bright and beautiful. I'm looking forward to taking part in this next year. Be sure to add this to your list of Mardi Gras parades.

We came Christmas evening and had a mostly good time. Unfortunately some very intoxicated people…read moreruined the evening around 6:30pm. The intoxicated people kept using racial slurs out loud, pushing each other into others, and later were urinating in the parking lot - all while children were walking by. I don't know if this is a regular occurrence or not, but it definitely ruined the evening for many Baton Rouge families wanting to see a beautiful light show on Christmas Day.

Lights, lights! So many lights! It's a winter wonderland of lights... here in Baton Rouge. This is…read moredefinitely a pretty ideal place to check out during COVID times and more importantly, during the holidays. It will bring smiles to anyone who visits. So yes, it is an outdoor experience and you just get to walk around to enjoy the beautiful scenery that lights up this space (across from Baton Rouge General) only during the holiday season. If you're at the parking lots around the mall, you will see the lights from there, too. What are you waiting for? The holiday season is a short one, so be sure to visit this before the lights come down. I don't know of any other lights spectacular other than the one at the Baton Rouge Zoo like this one. It's easy to park and access this from Picardy. Will be enjoyed by all ages... I promise!

Very nice place to spend the New Year 's Eve celebration. Full bar, live music and food.read more

I would suggest wearing a hat and bringing a small fan. The flyer said no outside food/drinks but I saw a few people with small ice chests. My 11yr old enjoyed the art vendor displays and face painting. The lines to most of the food trucks were long and most moved slow. There was a lot of free information and health bags being given out by different agencies. I hope they return next year! Great job!

The dugouts are roomy and enclosed, Press Box is enclosed, the only stands sit below the Press Box and are directly behind home plate which gives a surprisingly open view of the entire field of play with good sight lines to all corners of the field... The field sits behind the main buildings of DTHS and is off to the left of the Student parking lot hard by Griffins Stadium... If you have a chance to watch a softball game here I think it will be an enjoyable experience!!!

The organizers…read moredid a wonderful job peppering the parade With a mixture of floats and marching bands and walkers.The weather was very iffy that day so we took a chance on attending. I was very happy, especially for the kids, that the participants all showed up with smiles. It really brightened our day! We actually viewed the parade from a corner where it rolled by twice. And the riders showered our kids with goodies both times around! This has become one of my families favorite parades to attend. We look forward to many more years :-)

It's family friendly, the floats are cute and well made and the kids riding in the parade seemed to be having a great time. I snagged a signature cup and every "woot!" garnered a bead. Funny moment when I caught a throw and a guy on the float told me "it lights up, just press the button!". This is a very "homey" parade and you won't see anyone fighting over throws here. I was impressed with the bands that they had and the walking krewes as well. It was a lot of fun and I'd be happy to attend again.

Parades bring the community together and there were many folks out ready to raise their hands up to have a good-ole time. If you have never been before and plan on coming in the future, don't be intimidated. There is plenty of room for ya'! You don't have to wait hours to catch this parade because the route is long enough for you to find a good spot and be able to see it roll through. I loved the creativity of the floats and the enthusiasm of not only the participants in the parade, but those that were spectating! Now, I have more beads to add to my collection!
