Ole Miss Rebels Football Tickets

“Perhaps there isn’t a word for the ritualized pregame revelry on the University of Mississippi campus. ‘Tailgating’ doesn’t do it justice.” – The New York Times

The Grove at Ole Miss is renowned for its tailgating scene, regarded by many as college football’s best. Space at The Grove is first-come, first-served beginning Friday at 7:30 p.m.

Beautifully located beneath 38 different types of trees at the center of campus, The Grove is set up quite a bit differently than your typical tailgate. You can’t cook with an open flame, you’ll see plenty of well-dressed fans, and instead of cars there are red and blue tents, some of which use white tablecloths and fine china. No gym shorts or flip-flops here.

On Saturdays, the Ole Miss team takes its “Walk of Champions” through lines of delighted fans in The Grove on its way to Vaught Hemingway Stadium, where the Rebels host SEC West rivals such as LSU, Arkansas, Alabama and Auburn.

Oh, and Mississippi State, the most hated rival of all. The Rebels and Bulldogs have met every year since 1901, with the rivalry earning its “Egg Bowl” nickname in 1927. Ole Miss holds a significant edge in the series.

Ole Miss has produced 11 members of the College Football Hall of Fame, and two Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees. Two of its most famous alumni hail from the first family of quarterbacks. Maybe you’ve heard of Archie Manning and his son, Eli.

SEC football and great tailgating. What could be better?
