Old Front 9 3 was the free walkons lot right?
It was but not this year. You pay on gameday as you enter the lot. First come first serve.
Old Front Nine 1 is reserved parking now with a season pass. Old Front Nine 2 is individual game parking but prepaid only on the lsusports.net website. Each month’s games go on sale on the 1st business day of the previous month. Example, September games went on sale on August 3rd.

Tailgating is fine and great for the people who have tickets to the game and intend to attend the game. The people who come to campus simply to tailgate with no ticket and no intention of going to the game do nothing but add to the congestion. They are basically loitering and their only contribution is taking up the limited space for parking, adding more people to the mix to control, and generally just causing burden to the actual paying customers (i.e. ticket holders)
As a ticketholder, I'm fine with LSU taking steps to limit the number of people who are on campus who aren't going to the game itself. If you want to have a tailgate party but not go to the game, go tailgate at home. The fans attending the game are more than capable of maintaining the tailgating atmosphere LSU is known for.
You're being downvoted but you're absolutely right.

I love the "i got tickets, therefore myself and others with tickets should only be allowed to tailgate" posts. Nothing like pulling up the ladder behind you. I suppose you don't like it when people stand up in tiger stadium, hate the loud rap music, and get annoyed when you can't hear 98.1 coming in through your headset when people cheer.
That's not the case at all. It's viewed from a pure business perspective. Given LSU is charging some relatively high amounts for people to attend a game wouldn't stand to reason LSU has a vested interest in prioritizing accommodating those people so that they will remain paying customers? If it is continually more expensive and burdensome for the people buying the tickets and paying for parking to attend the game, then at some point they may stop purchasing tickets. Then what is left? The people who are coming on to campus who aren't paying for parking, or a ticket, or concessions, and have no intentions to do so? It's not exactly a great business model to give paying customers a reason not to attend simply to ensure non-paying customers continue to have access.

Amen to that. It’s the best kept secret out there. (Except i park at a buddy house that lives on Stanford). Never ever have to worry about traffic and can stay for the whole game.

I’m having a hard time figuring out how you get past the checkpoints to the free parking by the law school or WCA?

o I didn’t get physical parking passes this year. Had to download it like a digital ticket. Is this new?
Yes. Parking inner campus should still be paper pass, but outside checkpoints are being switched over to digital.
Wave of the future.

Absolutely an idiot. LSU is known world wide for its tailgating. Literally every year people who ARENT EVEN A FAN OF WHO WE ARE PLAYING AGAISNT, show up just to experience the tailgating. And on any given day, there are more fans tailgating than actually at the game.
And for the 'its only for the fans with tickets" If you dont stay until the end of the game. I mean all the way to the very last second; you lose your season tickets. Sell your tickets to another person? Lose your season tickets. Sell them to opposing fan base? Lifetime ban from ever getting into LSU ever again.

I gave my tickets and everything up 6-7 years ago. Spend my LSU games at the camp on TV now. Got tired of the very fight you are in now.
Got an E-bike, I go to one game a year, I tailgate with friends, and find it to be just the right mix for me nowadays.
Best of luck to you

That's great for the tailgaters, they get a free fall festival 7 weekends a year. I have yet to hear what LSU or the ticket holding fans derive from that , apart from more traffic, litter and congestion.

That is our point entirely. Freeloading fans who make it harder for the ticket holders and more expensive for LSU.

I do stay for the whole game, and if I can't use my tickets I almost always give, not sell, them to another LSU fan. But even if I didn't I at least paid for the right to be there. I didn't just show up for a free party at someone else's expense.

There isn't a quicker way to kill fan support, than removing fans from campus. If you want a USC type atmosphere, then by all means, watch their pitiful games.
There is what, roughly 150,000 - 200,000 people that show up to tailgate for an LSU game. You want to remove not only the economic benefit to LSU merchandise sales and indirect sales of neighboring businesses? You don't even mention the "fans" that have tickets that do not tailgate, which i would say is roughly half of LSU attendees. The ones that park and head straight into the game.
The first tailgate i ever attended when i was a kid, i did not have a ticket to the game, but it was a very fun experience to go to. I went to a few more and a few games, and that is probably the reason i went to college at LSU. I was enamored by the gameday festivities and the game itself.
There are many that tailgate and don't go to the game but stay at their tailgates. They aren't allowed? Those that show up early AM to a tailgate, go walk around campus, hit up the LSU stores, go to Chimes, head back to the tailgate. Those guys can't come either? Why?
From a pure "business" perspective it's pretty idiotic to turn away the shared economic boost to local businesses and to LSU in merchandise sales outside the stadium. And for what? Because you want to show up late to a game with no to low traffic? What a fan....

LSU tailgate isn't free, uniless you are a freeloader.

$$$ Or do you want to pretend people go to walk ons for the food? I'd wager that every business surrounding campus disagrees with you.

I really don't give a shite about your point. Congrats, you have tickets. With that, you must suffer being around fans. You also don't own campus. I have tickets for a few games and used to be a ticketholder before we had kids. The only way that parking is a problem for you, is
A) you don't tailgate and show up just before the game starts. Which reasons as to why you don't like tailgating. Sorry you aren't fun.
B) You are the reason traffic sucks leaving the stadium. It isn't the tailgaters that don't go to the game that is slowing down traffic. You really only have yourself to blame.

Your entitlement is noted.

You aren't paying for tailgates. You show up just before the game and are the reason for shitty traffic. Look inward at your own hate for the tailgate atmosphere.
Great college atmospheres are created by fans. If you only want to be around fans who "pay", then go to a ULL game. They love to bitch about LSU fans and how people who didn't go to college there are able to buy LSU memorabilia.

No one is advocating removing fans who are actually attending the games from campus.
It's prioritizing those people so they aren't disincentivized from attending the games. If you are simply sitting at the tailgate watching the game then you are presumably not purchasing a ticket, not purchasing concessions, and not paying to park on campus. So what major monetary benefit is LSU getting from you? A $30 t-shirt? I suspect LSU would prefer you purchase the $100+ ticket, $20-$50+ in concessions, and $100+ parking pass over that t-shirt. If those people stop coming because it is less of a hassle to just stay at home and watch the game then that is a bigger loss financially AND in the in-game atmosphere than the people who just want to sit at the tailgate and not really contribute anything to the game ops revenue stream or the actual game experience since they aren't in the stadium anyway.
Declining attendance is not just an issue at LSU. It's everywhere. So one would think it would benefit the school to take measures to incentivize people to continue to purchase tickets and attend the games as opposed to accommodating people who just want to hangout and give little to no money directly to LSU.
LSU's customers are ticketholders. They want to make sure they remain customers. Ironically, the OP was about LSU enacting permits last season because people who WERE NOT going to the game and were just "tailgating" were engaging in behaviors that might disincentivize people from attending the games.
