Best Routes to and from Tiger Stadium
City Police and LSU Police have listed the best traffic routes for motorists driving to Tiger Stadium for LSU football games. To report traffic problems, call LSU Police at (225) 578-3231.
Approaching Campus
From the North
If approaching the stadium from the north, use either River Road, Nicholson Drive, Highland Road or Dalrymple Drive. From these routes, parking will be available north of the stadium, on Nicholson Drive near the Carl Maddox Fieldhouse, at Kirby Smith dormitory lots off Aster and Roosevelt Streets, or at the Pleasant Hall lots on Dalrymple Drive.
From the East or South
If approaching the stadium from east or south, use either College Drive, Acadian/Stanford exit, Highland Road or Burbank Drive and Nicholson Drive. Parking for those using these routes is available on Gourrier Lane south of the stadium, off River Road near the Mississippi River and or additional lots east of the stadium in the vicinity of the John M. Parker Coliseum.
From South on Nicholson/Burbank
Fans coming from the south on Nicholson Drive or Burbank will be routed to Gourrier Lane, then River Road.
One-Way Traffic to Stadium
(90 minutes prior to kickoff)
Approximately ninety minutes prior to kickoff, police will direct one-way traffic only toward Tiger Stadium on Highland Road from Lee Drive, on West Lakeshore Drive from Stanford, on Nicholson Drive Extension from Parker Boulevard and on Dalrymple Drive from the I-10 overpass.
Exiting Campus
Going South
After the game, southbound traffic from the stadium will be directed onto Nicholson Drive or to River Road. Nicholson Drive will turn into a one-lane roadway south bound until Bluebonnet. Nicholson Drive at Bluebonnet will return to normal two way traffic flow going south. Fans who are traveling in the left lane of Nicholson Drive will be directed to turn onto Bluebonnet and fans traveling in the right lane of Nicholson Drive will be directed to continue straight (southbound).
Going North
After the game, northbound traffic west of Tiger Stadium will be directed onto Nicholson Drive or to River Road. Northbound traffic east of Tiger Stadium will be directed onto Highland Road.
Fans are encouraged to refer to page 80 and the fold-out map inside the back cover of the LSU Fan Guide delivered with their season tickets for detailed information on exit routes.
Parking Policies
Carpooling
Policy: Fans are encouraged to carpool as often as possible and to arrive early to campus.
Reason: The fewer vehicles on campus on game day, the more parking opportunities there will be for everyone.
Closed Streets
Policy: North Stadium Drive, South Stadium Drive and West Stadium Drive (next to Tiger Stadium) will be closed to all vehicular traffic on game days.
Reason: The streets nearest to Tiger Stadium are heavily utilized by pedestrians. Vehicular traffic on those streets would present a danger to those pedestrians.
Neutral Grounds (Median Parking)
Policy: Parking of vehicles on the neutral ground (median) on Nicholson Drive is not permitted.
Reason: Vehicles parked on neutral grounds can obstruct the vision of motorists and presents a danger for pedestrians and motorists.
Nicholson Drive Parking
Policy: Vehicles may not park on the shoulders of Nicholson Drive between North Stadium Drive and Gourrier Lane prior to 7 p.m. on Fridays before football games. Vehicles that park on Nicholson Drive prior to this time will be towed. (Instituted: 2007 football season)
Reason: Parked vehicles on Nicholson Drive can cause obstructed views for vehicles traveling on Nicholson Drive and for students walking to classes.
Parking in Designated Areas
Policy: Automobiles and motor homes may park only in designated areas. No parking is permitted on roots of trees.
Reason: LSU has one of the most picturesque campuses in America, and we ask our fans to help preserve its beauty. Parking on the roots of LSU’s historic oak trees will shorten the life span of this valuable resource.
Police Directions
Policy: Motorists must follow the directions given by police officers on campus.
Reason: Policemen along the traffic routes and at parking lots are there to direct motorists to the best routes for the closest available parking.
Saving Spaces
Policy: Saving parking spaces for other motorists is not permitted in any area.
Reason: Parking on the LSU campus is first-come, first-served, except in lots and streets with reserved spaces.
Spaces for Vehicles Only
Policy: Reserved parking spaces are for vehicles only. The purchase and use of a parking pass for other reasons, such as port-o-lets, trailers, tents, chairs, etc., is not permitted.
Reason: There are a limited number of parking spaces on the LSU campus for the 92,000 fans that attend games. It is important to make every space available for use for parking.
Travel Lanes
Policy: Tailgating is not permitted in travel lanes on roads or parking lots. No tents or other items may be placed in travel lanes.
Reason: Vehicles must be able to access parking spots via travel lanes. Also, for the safety of tailgaters, travel lanes must remain clear for vehicles to pass, especially emergency vehicles.
New in 2009!
Individual Game Paid Car Parking at Alex Box
Reserved car parking on a game-by-game basis is located in one area on the LSU campus: Alex Box West Lot, Gourrier Lane at Nicholson Drive (please view game day parking map). This lot opens at 8 a.m. on game day and specific spaces are first-come first-serve. Passes in this lot are $50 per game and must be purchased at least one week prior to each game online at LSUsports.net under “Tickets” or by calling the LSU Ticket Office at (225) 578-2184.
Handicap Parking
Free Handicap Parking
Free individual handicap parking is conveniently located in Lot M between the Pete Maravich Assembly Center and the Dub Robinson Tennis Courts, north of Tiger Stadium. There are a limited number of spaces available. This area is available on a first come, first served basis beginning at 7 a.m. on game days. The lot is accessible by presenting a valid state issued handicap parking permit and/or valid handicap drivers’ license to the traffic officers on site. The handicapped individual must be in the vehicle when entering the lot.
Paid Handicap Parking
Paid Handicap Parking is sold out. Persons interested in purchasing a paid reserved parking permit can register for a waiting list at www.LSUsports.net under “Ticketing”. Reserved handicap parking permits cost $300 for the entire season and may require a Tradition Fund contribution. To purchase a season handicap-parking permit, you must have a state issued handicap parking permit or letter from your doctor stating the reason you need to park near the stadium, and a valid ID. Contact the LSU Athletics Ticket Office at (225) 578-2184 for more information. Passes are not transferable. The handicapped individual must be in the vehicle when entering the lot.
Oversized Vehicle Parking
Definition of Oversized Vehicle: An oversized vehicle for the purpose of LSU football tailgating is any vehicle other than a motor home more than 20 feet long and/or 7 feet wide. Oversized vehicles may park only with the permission of LSU.
Reason: Oversized vehicles do not fit into designated parking spaces and require special accommodations.
Bus Parking
Policy: Charter buses will park in Lot W on Skip Bertman Drive, just west of the Charles McClendon Practice Fields (see map inside back cover).
Reason: Lot W is the closest of lots to Tiger Stadium that can accommodate buses AND offer good access for buses to arrive and depart the LSU campus.
Limousines
Policy: A $100 parking fee is required for Limousine parking at LSU football games. Limousines will be directed to park in Lot W on Skip Bertman Drive and must remain in place in that lot throughout the game or leave the campus. Limousines may not park overnight prior to the game. It is recommended that limousines approach campus on Nicholson Drive or River Road and do not attempt to pass through campus. After the game, those traveling in limousines must meet their limousine at Lot W. There are a limited number of spaces available for limousines, so please contact the LSU Athletics Ticket Office at (225) 578-2184 in advance to purchase a permit for the game.
Reason: Lot W is the closest of lots to Tiger Stadium that can accommodate limos AND offer good access for limos to arrive and depart the LSU campus. Limousines take up more space than a normal automobile, so it is necessary to designate a particular location for these vehicles.
Utility Trailers
Policy: Utility trailers are not permitted to park in reserved lots. Motor home owners will be permitted to pull a trailer into a motor home lot to drop off items up until seven hours prior to kickoff. Vehicles are permitted 15 minutes to drop off items in motor home lots. If the owner of a utility vehicle chooses to keep his/her trailer on campus, they will be directed to park it in a non-reserved lot such as a lot on Gourrier Lane.
Reason: Spaces in reserved lots are reserved exclusively for cars or motor homes. Even if a utility trailer fits into a motor home space, it can cause tailgate parties to overflow into travel lanes, causing a hazard for other vehicles and the passage of emergency vehicles.
Motor Home Parking
NOTE: Motor Homes may park on the LSU campus only in the areas listed on this page.
Season Reserved
Reserved motor home parking on a season basis is located in three areas on the LSU campus. All reserved motor home parking passes are sold out. To get on a waiting list for reserved motor home parking, register at LSUsports.net under “Tickets.”
- Motor Home/RV Parking Maps (.pdf)
- Lot B
The corner of South Stadium Drive and Nicholson Drive. Passes in this lot are sold out. Passes in this lot are $5,500 for spaces adjacent to South Stadium Drive and $4,500 for spaces adjacent to Lot C. All passes in this lot also require a Tradition Fund contribution of $500 per space per year. - Touchdown Village 1 | Map

Nicholson Extension at the Corner of Highland Road. Passes in this lot are sold out. Passes in this lot are $500 each plus a Tradition Fund contribution of $250 per season.
Individual Game
Reserved motor home parking on a game-by-game basis is located in one area on the LSU campus:
Veterinary Medicine Lot
Skip Bertman Drive across from LSU School of Veterinary Medicine
This lot will open at 7 a.m. on Friday prior to each home football game. Passes in this lot are $100 per game and may be purchased online at LSUsports.net under “Tickets” or by calling the LSU Ticket Office at (225) 578-2184.
Additional Motor Home Parking
Because motor home lots on the LSU campus sometimes fill, LSU recommends Farr Park, located approximately two miles south of campus on River Road. Farr Park can be contacted at (225) 769-7805.
Motor Home Parking Policies
Only Motor Homes Allowed
Policy: Motor home spaces may only be used for motor homes. Spaces may not be used for automobiles, trailers, tents, port-o-lets, etc.
Reason: All spaces in motor home lots are reserved for motor homes, and all spaces have been sold. There is a waiting list for motor home parking passes, so space in these lots is in high demand.
Opening Time for Lots
Policy: Parking for motor homes in Lot B and Touchdown Village is available after 5 p.m. on Fridays of home football games. As these spaces are individually reserved, it is requested that the motor homes not arrive on campus until after 5 p.m.
Reason: Motor home lots are used as student parking lots during the week. The University cannot ask students to move their vehicles until 5 p.m. on Fridays.
Closing for Time for Lots
Policy: Motor homes must vacate the LSU campus by noon on Sunday following games (time subject to change).
Reason: LSU must have time to remove trash and clean all parking lots prior to the beginning of classes on Monday mornings.
Exhaust Extensions
Policy: All motor homes require exhaust extensions that reach the top of the motor home. For the safety of everyone, motor homes without an extension should not operate a generator. This also applies to generators used by fifth-wheelers.
Reason: Exhaust fumes are dangerous and annoying to other tailgaters.
No Vehicles Allowed
Policy: Trailers, golf carts, ATVs, scooters, mopeds and go carts are prohibited in motor home lots for safety reasons.
Reason: There are many people, including children, walking and playing in the motor home lots. The use of moving vehicles is dangerous to these pedestrians.
Tailgating
Tailgating has become a part of college football all across the country, but at LSU, Tiger fans have turned it into an art form. Over two-thirds of Tiger fans tailgate for five or more hours before every game, and many begin celebrating the great Tiger football experience more than 24 hours before kickoff.
LSU encourages its fans to come to campus early and enjoy the great tradition of tailgating. LSU also encourages its fans to tailgate in a responsible manner, respectful of the campus and of other Tiger fans and fans from visiting schools.
Help us keep your campus clean by bagging your trash and using recycling containers. LSU’s Facility Services Department distributes trash bags throughout campus on game days for your convenience.
For the safety and enjoyment of all fans, please keep the following guidelines in mind when tailgating at LSU football games:
General Tailgating Policies
Bands
Policy: Live musical bands are not allowed at tailgating sites.
Reason: This policy is intended to protect the enjoyment of other fans. Musical tastes and tolerable noise levels vary greatly from tailgate party to tailgate party.
Caterers
Policy: Caterers must have proper parking permits to be admitted to private tailgate areas in reserved lots.
Reason: Parking lot attendants are instructed to only allow vehicles with parking permits into reserved lots. They cannot be expected to monitor vehicles that intend to drop off items and leave the lots.
Cookers
Policy: Cookers on trailers are not allowed in reserved lots, and no cooker at any location on campus may be larger than a 55-gallon drum (23” in diameter x 35” long). Cookers may not be placed in travel lanes or in parking spaces. Cookers may not be placed inside buildings. (Revised: 2007)
Reason: All parking spaces are reserved for vehicles and may not be occupied by cookers. The size of cookers is regulated for safety reasons so that a cooker may be moved if necessary in the event of an accident or emergency. Cookers inside buildings are an obvious safety hazard.
Flammables
Policy: Charcoal must be disposed of properly. Please do not place charcoal or other flammables in trash cans, under trees or leave it in the parking areas.
Reason: Even items that appear to be extinguished may remain flammable and cause fires.
Food Distribution
Policy: Companies may not issue sample products without being properly licensed by the University. Food, drink, and other items may neither be sold nor given to the general public.
Reason: This is a matter of legal liability for everyone involved. The University does not allow the sale or distribution of food on the LSU campus without proper credentials and insurance.
Generators
Policy: 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 potential 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. (Revised: 2007)
Reason: Older generators can be loud and intrusive for other tailgaters. Older generators can also pose safety issues and may create a pollution hazard.
Glass Containers
Policy: Glass containers are strongly discouraged for use during tailgating activities.
Reason: Broken glass can cause a safety hazard, not only for tailgaters, but also for students on campus during the week. This is a particular concern on the Parade Ground and other areas that are used for student recreational activities.
Motorized Vehicles (Go Carts, Etc.)
Policy: Golf carts, mopeds, scooters, ATVs and go carts are not permitted on the LSU campus unless authorized by LSU.
Reason: The use of motorized vehicles other than automobiles and motor homes can be a danger to pedestrians, especially children.
Music (Amplified)
Policy: Music must be confined to your tailgate area and speakers must be directed into your tailgate party. All music must be turned off by midnight the night before games and by 2 a.m. after games. Tailgaters are encouraged to contact LSU Police at (225) 578-3231 when music from another tailgate party becomes a nuisance. (Revised: 2007)
Reason: This policy is intended to protect the enjoyment of other fans. Musical tastes and tolerable noise levels vary greatly from tailgate party to tailgate party.
Political Activity
Policy: Political signage that implies endorsement of any political candidate or any political issue may not be displayed nor may political materials be distributed without prior approval by LSU. Contact the Office of Finance and Administrative Services at (225) 578-3386 prior to game day for information on the approval process. Parking permits do not imply a permit to conduct political activity.
Reason: The University seeks to balance First Amendment rights with its obligation to eliminate or reduce activities that significantly detract from fans’ enjoyment of the event. The University will not allow itself to be perceived as endorsing a political candidate or issue.
Port-o-lets
Policy: Individuals may not arrange to bring portable restrooms onto campus. LSU provides port-o-lets and restrooms in many buildings throughout campus for the convenience of fans.
Reason: Unless LSU manages the activity of providing port-o-lets on campus, these units can be left in parking lots in areas utilized by students on class days, and may remain unserviced, resulting in unsanitary conditions.
Security and Safety
Policy: It is the responsibility of each tailgate party to secure tailgate items prior to entering the stadium. Tailgaters should lock food, beverages and valuables out of sight in vehicles; extinguish all fires or flames; unplug electrical outlets; secure barbecue pits, chairs, and ice chests; and store beverages in locked containers.
Reason: Up to 120,000 fans tailgate on the LSU campus on game days. LSU cannot ensure the security of each and every tailgate party on campus.
Sidewalks and Bike Paths
Policy: Tailgating is not permitted on sidewalks and bike paths.
Reason: Sidewalks and bike paths are necessary routes for pedestrians to reach Tiger Stadium. If sidewalks and bike paths are blocked, pedestrians may be forced into streets in the path of vehicular traffic.
Signage and Banners
Policy: Banners and signage recognizing businesses may not be displayed nor may promotional materials be distributed without prior approval by LSU.
Reason: LSU operates a successful corporate sponsor program. In order to fulfill contractual obligations with its sponsors, LSU cannot permit businesses to display banners or signage on campus. Only companies that have corporate sponsor agreements with LSU Athletics may display their signage. Companies interested in more information on this subject should contact LSU Sports Properties at (225) 578-7049.
Soliciation
Policy: Solicitations of any kind within LSU facilities or on LSU premises are prohibited unless specifically approved by LSU. The distribution of flyers or leaflets on parked vehicles is expressly prohibited.
Reason: This is also a matter of legal liability and institutional control. LSU does not allow the sale or distribution of goods and services on the LSU campus without proper credentials and insurance.
Utilities Owned by University
Policy: The use of electrical outlets in or on LSU facilities, or other utilities such as water sources, is expressly prohibited. This policy will be strictly enforced and violators will be subject to arrest for theft of utilities. (Revised: 2007)
Reason: Overuse of utilities can cause outages, surges or shortages that may affect critical operations on the LSU campus.
Tent Size
Policy: LSU discourages the use of tents larger than 10’ by 10’. Tents may not be staked into the ground. Limited space is available near the Alex Box parking lot for larger tents. Please call LSU Sports Properties at (225) 578-7049 to reserve a space.
Reason: Tents must be of a size that can be moved quickly in the event of an emergency. Stakes can damage utilities beneath the LSU campus and can be dangerous to tailgaters. Oversized tents can impede the tailgating enjoyment of other fans. Please be courteous in the placement of tents.
Tents During Game
Policy: Tents should be taken down before you enter the game.
Reason: Unexpected winds can cause tents to scatter when unattended, and tents are subject to theft when left alone.
Tents in Parking Lot
Policy: Fans using a tent or canopy over the tailgate of a vehicle should restrict the size to no larger than 10’ x 10’, must keep travel lanes open for vehicular traffic and should not take up space in other parking spaces. Tents may not be used to save parking spaces.
Reason: Vehicles must be able to access parking spots via travel lanes. Also, for the safety of tailgaters, travel lanes must remain clear for vehicles and pedestrians to pass. This is also important to allow for the passage of emergency vehicles.
Tents on Sidewalk
Policy: Tents may not be set up on sidewalks, bike paths, travel lanes or any other area of regular flow of pedestrian traffic.
Reason: Sidewalks, bike paths and travel lanes must be left passable for pedestrians. Please be courteous of other tailgaters.
Tiger Stadium General Policies
Announcements
Policy: Public address announcements are restricted to emergency situations only and must be requested through LSU Police at (225) 578-3231 or during games at (225) 578-HELP.
Reason: Many announcements are requested, but only emergency situations can be addressed through PA announcements in Tiger Stadium. To properly address these situations, LSU Police is responsible for determining the level of importance of any requested announcement.
Artificial Noise-Makers
Policy: Southeastern Conference rules do not permit artificial noise-makers to be brought into or used in the stadium. Anyone found violating this policy is subject to ejection.
Reason: The SEC implemented this rule in order to prevent the distraction of the participants and officials in the game.
Backpacks and Bags
Policy:
Backpacks are not allowed in Tiger Stadium. Bags larger than 8 ½” x 11” are not allowed in Tiger Stadium.
Reason: LSU is following the advice of security officials who have designated backpacks and large bags as a security risk. Also, the searching of backpacks would contribute to longer lines for security checks at gates. Thank you for your cooperation with this very important policy.
Recommendation: LSU recommends the use of clear bags smaller than 8 ½” by 11” (per person) for carrying items into Tiger Stadium.
Banners and Poles
Policy: Banners may not be hung and poles may not be brought into Tiger Stadium except as approved by LSU.
Reason: Banners or poles in Tiger Stadium can obstruct the view of other fans. Also, LSU must ensure that it abides by its contractual agreements with corporate sponsors regarding signage in Tiger Stadium.
Beverage Policy (Alcohol)
Policy: The possession or consumption of alcohol in the general seating areas of Tiger Stadium is expressly prohibited by University policy. Stadium personnel and law enforcement officials will enforce this policy.
Reason: In an effort to encourage an enjoyable experience for all fans in Tiger Stadium, persons who are intoxicated or who are in possession of alcohol will be removed from the stadium.
Cameras
Policy: Cameras are permitted in Tiger Stadium for both fans and working news media. All photos taken in Tiger Stadium must be for editorial or 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.
Reason: The sale of images with current student-athletes is against NCAA rules and can risk the eligibility of LSU student-athletes. Additionally, any commercial use of photos of Tiger Stadium, campus landmarks or identifiable campus elements is prohibited without the prior written approval of the University.
Re-Entry to Stadium
Policy: Anyone leaving the stadium must have a full ticket to return to the stadium. Once a ticket has been scanned or the stub removed, it may not be used again for re-entry, unless otherwise directed by LSU officials in emergency situations.
Reason: SEC rules prohibit “pass out checks” from being issued.
Smoking
Policy: Smoking is not permitted in all areas of Tiger Stadium. (Established by Louisiana Law 2007)
Reason: The “Louisiana Smoke Free Air Act” became law in the State of Louisiana on January 1, 2007. The statute La. R.S. 40:1300.252 specifically prohibits smoking in any public building, defined as a building owned or operated by the state or any other political subdivision of the state. All of LSU’s athletic facilities are considered public buildings under this statute. Additionally, a public place also covers sports arenas, educational facilities and any enclosed areas to which the public is invited.
Standing During Games
Policy: 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 game marshals if complaints from other fans are reasonable and continuous.
Reason: Common courtesy dictates that fans should not block the view of other fans who are seated during game action.
Sportsmanship
Policy: The throwing of objects from the stands is strictly prohibited and is cause for immediate ejection. Also, fans may not go onto the playing field at anytime before, during or after games.
Reason: 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.
Stadium Security
Policy: Visitors to Tiger Stadium may be subject to search.
Reason: With heightened security now a way of life, LSU will do everything possible to provide a secure environment for its fans. Please be cooperative with our security officials during your visit to Tiger Stadium. They are there for your safety.
Recommendation: LSU encourages fans to arrive early and to bring as few personal items into the stadium as possible.
Stadium Seats (Portable)
Policy: Any seat that impedes on the comfort and enjoyment of a fan in an adjacent seat (in front, behind or to the side) is prohibited. (Revised: 2007 season)
Reason: Wide stadium seats can overlap into the seat of the fan next to you.
Recommendation: Any stadium seat measuring 16 inches wide or less will fit into any seat in Tiger Stadium. In some portions of Tiger Stadium, seats wider than 16 inches may fit. Please be considerate of those sitting around you. Please be aware that some seats with LSU logos on them are sold that are larger than 16” because some fans use these seats for purposes other than LSU football games.
Starting Times
Policy: All LSU home games are scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Central time, however the starting times for all games are subject to change. Television rights as negotiated by the Southeastern Conference often dictate a change of starting time for a game. For further information, please visit the Official Web Site of LSU Athletics at LSUsports.net or check your local news media.
Reason: Night games are a tradition at Tiger Stadium, and LSU will play games at night when possible. However, as a member of the SEC, LSU is obligated to cooperate with the league office in moving start times for television.
Recommendation: Watch your local media or check at LSUsports.net for the most up-to-date starting times for LSU football games.
Tickets
Policy: All persons, regardless of age, must present a ticket for admission to Tiger Stadium.
Reason: 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
Policy: Umbrellas are not allowed in Tiger Stadium.
Reason: Umbrellas are a sight obstruction for other fans, and can be a safety hazard.
Recommendation: LSU advises the use of ponchos or other wearable rain gear for inclement weather.
Video Cameras
Policy: Video cameras are not permitted in Tiger Stadium except for the working news media. Video images taken in Tiger Stadium 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.
Reason: LSU is obligated to protect the television rights granted by the Southeastern Conference to television networks. By prohibiting video cameras except for use by credentialed working media, LSU can best manage that obligation.
Prohibited Items
For the comfort, enjoyment and safety of all Tiger fans, please follow these guidelines for items brought into Tiger Stadium:
- Backpacks, coolers and containers of any kind are prohibited.
- Bags larger than 8 ½” x 11” are not permitted for security reasons.
- Food and drinks may not be brought into Tiger Stadium.

Trademark Use
LSU created a trademark licensing program in 1981. The three purposes of the program are to protect the University’s indicia (marks, names, and logos), promote the University, and to generate funds which are used for general University endeavors including scholarships and various other needs.
