TAILGATING LOCATIONS

Tailgating is not permitted in travel lanes on roads, parking lots, sidewalks, bike paths or landscaped areas. No tents or other items may be placed in these areas or obstruct access.

TAILGATING SETUP

Tailgating Setup is allowed after 5 p.m. on the Friday prior to game day. Also, tailgate setups are subject to removal for violation of tailgating policies. Please direct all questions regarding tailgating to LSU Athletics Guest Services at (225) 578-4085.

TAILGATING RECOMMENDATIONS

GENERATORS

Portable electrical generators are permitted, but are discouraged. For temporary electrical needs, LSU recommends the use of battery operated inverters that convert the battery current to house current. These recommended devices do not generate hazardous carbon monoxide emissions, do not require gasoline cans and resultant hazards, and do not create noise that is potentially damaging to hearing and a nuisance to fellow tailgaters. The operation of portable electrical generators that create excessive noise, emission hazards or other safety concerns will not be permitted.

GLASS CONTAINERS

Glass containers are strongly discouraged for use during tailgating activities.

TENT SIZE

LSU discourages the use of tents larger than 10’ by 10’. Tents may not be staked into the ground.

TENTS DURING GAME

Tents should be taken down before you enter the game.

TENTS IN PARKING LOTS

Fans using a tent or canopy over the tailgate of a vehicle should restrict the size to no larger than 10’ x 10’ and may not take up space in other parking spaces or travel lanes. Tents may not be used to save parking spaces. Tents must not block travel lanes.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Public address announcements are restricted to emergencies and must be requested through LSU Police at (225) 578-3231 or 911.

ARTIFICIAL NOISEMAKERS

Southeastern Conference rules do not permit artificial noisemakers to be brought into or used in Tiger Stadium. Anyone found violating this policy is subject to ejection and item is subject to confiscation.

RE-ENTRY TO STADIUM

Anyone leaving the stadium must have an unscanned, new ticket to return to the stadium. Once a ticket has been scanned, it may not be used again for re-entry, unless otherwise directed by LSU Event Management (or gameday officials) in emergencies.

SMOKING & TOBACCO USE

On August 1, 2014, LSU became tobacco free, in accordance with the governor’s “Well-Ahead” program. The Louisiana legislature has implemented a smokefree requirement for all state university property, and all public post-secondary institutions in Louisiana must be in compliance. All of LSU’s athletic facilities are considered public buildings under this statute. This prohibition applies to all individuals while on the LSU Campus, including faculty, staff, students, administrators, contractors, and visitors. The use of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, snuff, pipes, and chewing tobacco are not permitted.

STADIUM SEATS (PORTABLE)

Any stadium seat measuring 16 inches wide or less will fit into any seat in Tiger Stadium. Only stadium seat cushions with no pockets or compartments will be admitted. (See Clear Bag Policy) Please be considerate of those sitting around you and please be aware that some seats sold by local vendors with LSU logos may be too large for use at Tiger Stadium. To order a pre-installed stadium seat, please visit LSUTigerSeatback.com or call 1-866-895-1490.

STADIUM SECURITY

With heightened security now a way of life, LSU will do everything possible to provide a safe and secure environment for its fans. Please be cooperative with stadium officials and law enforcement agencies during your visit to Tiger Stadium. Should you or another guest need immediate assistance, please notify the nearest police officer or event staff personnel. You may also text “LSU” along with your issue to 69050 or call LSU Athletics Guest Services at 225-5784085. If you see something, say something.

STANDING DURING GAMES

LSU encourages fans to be courteous of other fans in choosing to stand during games. Spontaneous reaction to plays or significant events is expected and encouraged. Continued standing during game action when other fans are sitting is discouraged and will be addressed by LSU Event Staff if complaints from other fans are reasonable and continuous. Please be respectful of those around you so all fans may enjoy the game.

THROWN OBJECTS

The throwing of objects from the stands is strictly prohibited and is cause for immediate ejection. Thrown objects can cause serious injury. LSU takes very seriously the safety of fans, coaches, athletes and officials. LSU will act promptly and accordingly if the safety of any individual is in jeopardy. Any fan/spectator ejected for throwing objects or unauthorized access may be subject to additional penalties and possible loss of future ticket privileges.

TICKETS

All persons, regardless of age, must present a ticket for admission to Tiger Stadium. This policy is for the convenience and safety of all Tiger ticket holders. Even the smallest of LSU fans sitting on their parents’ lap can be an inconvenience to the fan sitting in the next seat and a safety risk for the child.

UMBRELLAS

Umbrellas are NOT allowed in Tiger Stadium. Umbrellas left at the gate/entrance will be confiscated and discarded during security sweeps. Umbrellas are a sight obstruction and possible safety hazard for other fans. LSU advises the use of ponchos or other wearable rain gear for inclement weather.

VIDEO CAMERAS & RECORDING

Video cameras are not permitted in Tiger Stadium except for the working news media. Video images taken in Tiger Stadium must be for personal use only and may not be used for advertising, promotions or other trade purposes, or any other commercial or promotional endeavor, without the permission of LSU. Contact the LSU Office of Finance and Administrative Services at (225) 578- 3386 with any questions.
