Attending this weekend’s Ole Miss-LSU game will be pricey for fans who don’t live in the area.
On Saturday, Lane Kiffin returns to Oxford, Mississippi, less than a year after ditching Ole Miss for LSU.
Officials expect a massive turnout and are tightening security.

“Given the size of the crowd expected this weekend, fans and visitors should expect an increased law enforcement presence throughout campus on game day. We encourage everyone to allow plenty of time to navigate campus and to follow directions from law enforcement and game day personnel.
“The Magnolia Bowl is a storied rivalry with passionate fan bases. The Grove and our campus have a long tradition of welcoming visitors, and we encourage everyone to bring that same spirit of hospitality and respect throughout the weekend.”
The hype for the game has reached unprecedented levels, and it’s tough to find a hotel room at a reasonable price.

Apparently, hotel rooms in Memphis are also becoming hard to find for the LSU-Ole Miss game.
I’m in Memphis (Memphis!) and spent $248 for a Hilton Garden Inn in Collierville. 85% of Hilton properties sold out. In Memphis. https://t.co/rp7qREx9lJ

Hopefully most who plan to attend got their hotels months ago, because prices are geting real steep close to game time.
