To combat a growing brawl between several people on LSU’s campus after the game Saturday, the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office deployed non-lethal pepper balls. The Sheriff’s Office was asked to by LSU Police to remain on campus following the game to assist in monitoring a large gathering of students and growing safety concerns.

At 4:30 p.m. a brawl involving several women broke out and was encouraged by the growing crowd, the sheriff’s office said. The surrounding crowd was blocking officers from breaking up the fight, prompting the officers to deploy pepper balls onto the ground to disperse the crowd.

Didn’t see another thread about this. Seems like this was the same crowd where there was a shooting at a tailgate for last year’s homecoming game that resulted in Unity Field being closed on game days.

Apparently they relocated over by Greek amphitheater this year. I walked around this after the game going back to my car around 2pm. It was a shocking scene. Hundreds of people, smell of weed in the air, & (thankfully) a heavy police presence keeping the roads clear. Looked like something you would see on bourbon street during essence festival
