Gameday

  • Arrive early for The Grove. The Grove isn’t just tailgating — it’s a cultural event. Tents go up with chandeliers, silver platters, gourmet spreads, and Rebels dressed like they’re going to a wedding. Get there at least 3–4 hours before kickoff to soak it all in.

  • Walk the Walk of Champions. The team walk through The Grove to the stadium is electric — fans line the brick walkway and cheer as the players pass through a sea of red, navy, and powder blue.

  • Dress sharp. Oxford is known for its elevated gameday fashion — sundresses, button-downs, bowties, and powder blue everything. It’s SEC style turned up a notch.

  • Don’t rush out after the game. Whether Ole Miss wins or loses, The Square comes alive at night. Restaurants, bars, and rooftop spots stay packed with students, fans, and families.

  • Parking fills early. Most visitors park on the outskirts and walk or shuttle to campus. The closer lots require early arrival or season passes.

  • Hydrate. September games in Mississippi heat can be intense — bring water and sunscreen.

Vaught Hemingway Stadium is located at 6 All American Drive, Oxford, MS 38655

Local Eats

Big Bad Breakfast

Created by James Beard Award–winning chef John Currence, this breakfast spot is Oxford royalty. Biscuits, skillets, grits, and cold brew hit perfectly before a long gameday.

Ajax Diner

Classic Southern comfort food right on The Square. Fried catfish, meatloaf, country vegetables, and pies that taste straight out of grandma’s kitchen.

City Grocery

This is the Oxford dinner experience — white tablecloths, Southern fine dining, famous shrimp & grits, and one of the most beloved chefs in the state.

The Library Sports Bar

A staple of Ole Miss nightlife — loud, packed, and full of Rebels on gameday weekends. Don’t expect quiet. Expect SEC energy.

Rafters on the Square

Barbecue, burgers, music, bourbon — and a long list of gameday drinks. It’s a rowdy, fun spot for fans wanting the full Square experience.

Places of Interest

One of the most famous college landmarks in America. When it’s empty, it’s peaceful and beautiful — massive oaks, green lawns, and the Walk of Champions arch rising from the center.
