Before you dress up in your best purple and gold face mask to attend Saturday’s season opener, LSU ticket holders age 18 and older must complete a COVID-19 screening. LSU Senior Associate AD Robert Munson says the simple questionnaire can be found on the LSU Sports Mobile App.
“If you’ll do that before you come on campus, you’ll get a screen that basically has a checkmark on it that you’ll show it to the ticket taker at the gate and you’re good to go,” said Munson.
The LSU Sports Mobile app will also give fans easy access to their tickets and up-to-date alerts.
Instead of 100-thousand fans in Tiger Stadium for the season opener, only 25-thousand fans have tickets to the game. Munson says all gates will be accessible to ticket holders to enter Death Valley to deter long lines.
“Where we can service our fans and they can get through the lines very quickly, and once you’re in Tiger Stadium the physical distancing will be available and mandatory in that area,” said Munson.
All concession stands will be cashless so don’t leave home without a card, clear bags will still be enforced, and face masks can be temporarily removed while consuming beverages and food provided social distancing is observed.
Munson says RVs will be allowed on campus but only to be treated as a hotel, not a base for tailgating, tailgating is not permitted whatsoever.
“Listen we don’t want to get into an enforcement situation, and I think our fans understand that. So, we’re going to start with educating people and then we’re going to remind people and if we have to get to a point of enforcement, we will but we hope we don’t have to,” said Munson.
If you have issues downloading the app, a paper form for the COVID screening will be available outside Gates 9 and 20 and near Gate 1.
