Howdy Ags,
When the LSU Tigers play an SEC foe in Baton Rouge, a respectable number of opposing fans flock to New Orleans to party in the French Quarter. As Aggies we need to take it to the next level; the level you’d expect from a fan base celebrating an 11-2 first year record in the SEC; a disgustingly beautiful Cotton Bowl victory; a Heisman Trophy, Outland Trophy, Davey O’Brien Award and numerous individual SEC player and coaching recognitions. Let’s fill the Quarter with “The Maroon and White” and celebrate together like you’ve never seen for a road game!
On behalf of the New Orleans A&M Club I want to inform you of what we have planned for Nov 22 and 23. The information below is also available on our website, NolaAgs.info Please help us spread the word by copying the link and sending it out by every means possible.

Midnight Yell – Friday Nov. 22nd
Midnight Yell Practice will be hosted by the New Orleans A&M Club and led by the Texas A&M Yell Leaders from the balcony of Johnny White’s Pub and Grill, 718 Bourbon St. in the French Quarter. This is the corner of Bourbon and Orleans Streets, directly behind St. Louis Cathedral and across Orleans St. from the Bourbon Orleans Hotel.
Roundtrip Gameday Transportation – Saturday Nov. 23d
For those Aggies attending the game or wanting to tailgate at Tiger Stadium without the hassle of traffic and parking, the New Orleans A&M Club has arranged to provide roundtrip motor coach transportation from New Orleans. The buses will be escorted by Baton Rouge police directly to the bus staging area at Tiger Stadium. Departure time is expected to be 4 to 5 hours before kickoff, allowing ample time for tailgating. Staging and pickup will be at the DoubleTree Hotel, 300 Canal St., New Orleans, 70130.
In advance of the designated departure time, bus riders will secure a name tag from NOLA Club staff at the DoubleTree for admission onto one of the buses. Liquid refreshments (and restroom) will be provided on each bus.
Riders are entitled to participate in a catered tailgate hosted by the Baton Rouge A&M Club. The New Orleans A&M Club will make a donation to the Baton Rouge club for each bus rider to defray their costs and assist with their charitable endeavors.
Ticket cost is $125/adult and $75/child under 18 years old. Reservations and payment can be made online via the New Orleans A&M Club web page at: NolaAgs.info/gigem
