Advice for Penn State tailgating at Columbus in 5 wks

[PA college fan]

Large group meeting up for game--1/2 going in, 1/2 just tailgating and hitting bars to watch game--some living locally. Was only there for game in 1995--any PSU tailgaters expert in best area to tailgate for visiting fans? Trying to decide whether to just bar hop pre game or set up tailgate. Staying away from the rowdier lots of students, although most going are in 20s.

Body armor, ear plugs, and cheap throw away ponchos in case they employ the urine baloons.
