Where to Watch College Football: The Away Teams

Saturdays in autumn are all about college football, but where to go if you’re a Wolverine, Sooner, or Cardinal? Don’t worry—there’s a bar for that. For New Orleans transplant Brian Ledet, joining a bevy of LSU Tigers at Fenway’s Baseball Tavern a few years ago was like finding a home away from home. During game broadcasts, Ledet now spins recordings of the LSU Tiger Marching Band at key moments to an often-packed house. In search of a place to don body paint and cheer on your alma mater? Here’s where you may find a like-minded crowd.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: It’s best to call before going, as some groups move between bars and the less-marquee games don’t always get the full fan experience.
