Tailgating at Tiger Lane During the Southern Heritage Classic, 2012
During the Southern Heritage Classic, Tiger Lane becomes like a small village, with people dancing, partying and barbecuing everywhere. The little kids particularly enjoy the large green at the center of the park, which gives them a place to pay their own football games before the big game kicks off in the Liberty Bowl. 9/8/12
