re: LSU to implement new tailgate policies effective immediately.

quote:

---

Student organizations wishing to tailgate on the LSU Parade Ground will have a new set of guidelines following recent incidents of violence and drinking.

Each organization has between noon Monday and noon Wednesday the week before the game to register a tailgate. Each approved organization will have an assigned 30 x 30 feet area roped off by 10 unmovable trash cans. The organization cannot set up before 8 a.m. on gameday, and will be required to check-in with University officials upon arrival.

Organizations cannot have a tent larger than 10 x 10 feet, but can have up to four tents inside their area. The organization’s name must be posted on the tent, and they cannot have walls or binders to shield view.

Tailgates cannot have common source drink containers, glass containers, tablecloths, furniture (with the exception of folding chairs, lawn chairs and tables), stages or other structures, vehicles of any kind, tent walls, drapes or stakes to anchor tents. Tents must be anchored with weights that do not dig into the Parade Ground turf.

Tailgates must be cleaned up before the game begins, Dean of Students Mari Fuentes-Martin said. Tents must be taken off the Parade Ground, and all trash must be cleaned up.
