Hello and welcome!
Parking: I have always either taken the train in, taken a Lyft to a nearby non-congested spot for drop-off, or set up a small tailgate in one of the surrounding grove lots, so not too sure what the rest of the parking situation looks like.
Bars: Depends how much time you have before kickoff, but University Ave is pretty close by. Bars around there include Nola, Old Pro, the Patio, Scotty's Bar, the Rose and Crown, and the Tap Room.
Tailgating: Students won't be there yet as the school year starts in late September, but walking around the aforementioned grove lots you're sure to see many many tailgates. People have been nothing but friendly in my experience. Also check out the area between the track and aquatic center (Chuck Taylor Grove) for food trucks and some of the more high-end tailgates.

No beer sold in the stadium, but as a student it was pretty easy to creatively get our drinkables in. Also, the food in the stadium is quite good!
Hope you enjoy the game!
