Saturdays will look much different at Tiger Stadium this fall LSU announces there will be no pre-game walk down Victory Hill, the Tiger band will not perform on the field, no tailgating, and attendance will be capped at 25%. Interim LSU President Thomas Galligan says attendees need to prepare to mask up.
“We’re requiring that they wear masks. And for everybody but the people in the suites, they are going to be outside. Even the people in the suites we are going (encourage them to) get outside,” said Galligan.
Single-game tickets will not be available, so the fans that get to go to the games will be season-ticket holders, students, and a small number of fans from the visiting school. Athletic Director Scott Woodward says the fans will enter the stadium in phases.
“So that we don’t have queues and lines and chokepoints because all eyes are going to be on us and we do not want anything to go awry here,” said Woodward.
Despite a smaller crowd, Galligan is confident the energy of Tiger Stadium will still be there.
“There’s a magic in the air in Tiger Stadium and that magic is contagious, but not in a negative way. It is a whole lot more magic with 105,000 people, but there is going to be magic with 25,000,” said Galligan.
LSU’s first home game is the season opener against Mississippi State on September 26th.
