To the Tailgate

Come see the pride of Lafourche Parish, the Nicholls State Colonels, battle it out on the field this fall. With a top tier home game schedule and plenty of post-game entertainment, it’s the perfect way to get your football fix without the crowds or traffic.

The Colonels will make their way to the John L. Guidry stadium for four home games this coming season. The first will be September 25 as they face the North Alabama Lions. Can’t make it then? Find the full schedule here.

Looking to stick around post game? Make a night of it and stop by one of the many restaurants in Thibodaux’s charming downtown. A local favorite is Spahr’s, serving up the freshest seafood favorites. To get the full experience, you have to try their famous thin fried catfish chips. If a post-game pizza is calling your name, head over to Pepper’s Pizzeria. And, if sports aren’t your thing, you surely don’t need an excuse to experience all the culinary treasures Lafourche Parish has to offer. We recommend checking out the Cajun Bayou Food Trail to eat like a local. lacajunbayou.com.
