INTRODUCTION
Oxford, Mississippi is for all intents and purposes a college town nestled in northern part of the state with a population of around 25,000 on any given day — except college football Saturdays. When Ole Miss football kicks off, the population swells to likely the second largest city in the state and becomes home to some of the greatest tailgating in the entire country. If you’re a college football fan, a Saturday in the fall here is truly a bucket list experience.
THE GROVE
Its 10 acres of centuries old trees shading thousands of tented parties where some are refined with chandeliers, silver platters and tablecloth and some are more thrown together by college students looking for a good time.
