3. LSU has a tremendous expense cleaning up after the tailgaters. Joe Aleva addressed this in his letter regarding the parking fees.

The garbage contract this past season was less than previous years. However, after games like WVU they had to hire additional help from all over. This is what added the expense.

I have talked with LSU regarding the parking issue on a few occasions. There is the trash issue, yes, but also destruction on campus. After the WVU game it cost LSU facility services 1,300 to replace the cemented brown wooden posts along Nicholson that were pulled out by tailgaters. There was damage to Turead hall bathroom and various other places on campus.

Crews had to walk every inch of grass on the parade grounds to pickup broken glass.
