Lost Tailgating Spot
Posted on 9/25/08 at 11:21 am

We have tailgated in the lot along highland by Knapp Hall for about 2 yrs now, but last game we were forced to pack up and leave or face arrest.
Like many tailgaters we just accumulate an enormous amount of gear every year, so after last season we bought a trailer. The trailer had a vending window so we boxed it in and put a TV in it.
On to the incident:
Campus Police come by, tell us we cant have trailers on campus, I explain to him that it only applies to pay lots, we are in a free lot. He calls more campus police and they tell us move or our trailer will be towed and we will face arrest. We argue and they tell us its a new rule no trailers can remain on campus after 7am anywhere within the quadrant of streets that are closed off.
We packed up, left the trailer there and went to another tailgate, unfortunately, walking around there were trailers parked all over.
Im not sure if we pissed in this guys cereal one day or what, but Im not sure what we should do. Should we risk going back to our old spot or find a new one. If we find a new one, where to go. We show up very early, 4-5ish, I really dont want to take anyones tailgate spots.
Do the grass lots by TD Village fill up early? I know its a large area with atleast one large tailgate group, but are there others? Any suggestions? We would like to stay South or East of Tiger Stadium.

Call Herb Vincent and tell him your story.
He will call you back and tell you what the deal is.

Get the answer on this policy from LSU (in WRITING). Then, act accordingly. If it is allowed, have the written document to politely show the officer

ur in a tight spot. cops are cops, and 90% of them are dicks...so you best move.
call herb and ask his advice...but i do remember reading no trailers, but i am unaware of if that applies to all campus or just paid lots.
either way, id move and next time, GET IN GOOD with the local authority of ur new spot...like offering them breakfast and lunch is a good start.

Was it LSU PD or was it a rent-a-cop? I've heard a bunch of stories from the last game of this rent-a-cop outfit being a lot more agressive in their enforcing of the "rules" than what you usually see on gamedays.

The good spots fill up quick. I do not think you can bring a trailer here either. Last year they would not let a group in because they had a trailer! But if you do you trailer sounds pretty sweet so be sure to park next to us!!!!!
