I hear that TDV 1 is being relocated for some sort of construction? Does anyone have details on what the long term plan is, and will it affect TDV 1?

Most of TD1 is being shut down for student housing development. I've heard a few spots are open in TD2 and they are moving a select few tailgaters from TD1 to TD2. The rest are going to have to find a new spot.

LSU is moving forward with a plan to build a new dorm complex that will house an additional 1,200 people on campus.

The $215 million plan to build a new South Quad dorm for first-year students was approved by the LSU Board of Supervisors on Friday.

It’s being built in the Touchdown Village East lot, right across from LSU's engineering and business schools. The new buildings will bring more than 1,200 beds to campus.

Last fall, nearly 8,000 freshmen enrolled, and some were offered $3,000 to live off campus instead of in dorms.

University officials say on-campus housing boosts student success and results in higher retention and graduation rates.

LSU plans to build a new mobility hub with air conditioning, WiFi and restrooms so students can catch shuttles to class more comfortably.

During construction, over 500 commuter parking spaces will be available during the fall and spring semesters. About 350 commuter spaces will be added nearby in the Old Front Nine lot. On game days, LSU athletics will use those spaces for general parking. The current lot is also used for RV parking on football game days. RV parking will be moved to other areas.

Thank you. So it seems like TDV 2 will NOT be affected?

This is a very sad day for me as my family has spent every home game weekend in TD Village 1 since I was a kid. Such a great spot! We played football with our friends, rode bikes, hung around our friends RVs, stayed up late and generally had the time of our lives. As we grew-up, TD Village 1 was the site of so many landmark events: first kiss--behind the Badeaux's camper on the back row with S.D. (she knows who she is), first beer with my dad at our RV, first run in with the law--riding our battery powered scooters on the road at 12 years old (just a nice stay off the roads guys) and the creme de la creme (pun intended)-first handy in the back of this girls parents RV whose name I dont recall and may not have known at the time. What a place!!! TD Village 1 you will be missed.
