LSU Bans Opposing Bands From Performing Halftime Shows At Tiger Stadium

by Staff Reporter

June 10, 201617 Comments

Crystal Logiudice-USA TODAY Sports

Ross Dellenger with The Advocate is reporting that LSU will no longer allow opposing bands to perform at Tigers Stadium during halftime.

quote:
“It’s a safety issue,” Bonnette told The Advocate. “We don’t have room down there for both bands. In order for bands to perform at half, they’ve got to come down to the field before the first half ends. That’s a lot of people on the sideline.”

Bonnette declined comment when asked whether there have been any sideline incidents between opposing band members or between band members and LSU fans. None has been reported, but the new policy would prevent potential skirmishes.

just more of the killing of college football traditions and atmosphere and now our full band will not be allowed to go to any other SEC stadiums

What safety issues have been caused by opposing bands being on the field?

Looks like a cure without a problem.

This is not good for college football. If the visiting team's band wants to play they should be allowed to play.

Sucks, I kinda enjoy aTm band.

This whole thing smells fishy

What an embarrassment! Certainly we can figure out a way to get the damn band down on the field. If the state is trying to save money do away with the stupid Risk Management program.

Not sure exactly what is going on with this...but the safety excuse sounds like bullshite to me. hopefully, there is some legit reason behind it all...

The thing that should really piss you off is that LSU is flat out lying to us. It's not a safety issue, that is total BS. This is 100% about money and nothing more.

It's a shame ya'll won't get to see the JSU Marching Southerners.

This is about turn about is fair play. I have been to other SEC campuses and they did not LSU's Golden Band perform even when we brought the whole band. Er go - their bands do not see the field in Tiger Stadium. Geaux Tigers

Why the hell would I want to see any band perform at halftime except TGBFTL? That's stupid.

Sweet daddy•119 months

Just get a DJ from one of the frat houses to stand in for the visiting band at half time this will kill two birds with one stone .
Bama can bring a Tuba , Bass Drum , and a symbol we will furnish the rest .

Marching bands should stay home and not waste the resources it takes for them to travel.

eugene1928LSU•119 months

Not another band I care to listen to than the TGBFTL, especially in Tiger Stadium. Non Issue.

What a bunch of cry babies! Is this part of the nannies taking over the band?
