I think this is what LSU is trying to stop.



Why? Why stop people from experiencing something so highly regarded around the country which brings in millions for your university and city?

green fencing - answer we got was after the game people were impatient and would cut thru the trees/sidewalks instead of waiting there turn. they want to protect the roots of said trees.

Either change the time the gates open to 5pm or change the setup time to 4pm


This is your answer, IMO.

Do you really need to set up your trailer this early for Eastern Michigan?

It's a simple rule, follow it and save yourself the headache.

There was a guy on here during the auburn game bitching because he couldn't park his RV on Wednesday.


ETA and those "after 5 pm" signs have been up all year.

I don't agree with it, but everything LSU has done in the past 5 years has put a damper on tailgating.

Yeah I can't speak for that guy but all we do is drop our trailer off and rope our spot off. I've always wondered why people set shite up on Friday

Don't be a dick. How about if I say "my usual spot"? Is that better? Jesus Christ.

My conspiracy theory is that it's all a ruse to get overtime for facility services employees that haven't been given raises in recent years due to budget constraints.

If he's leaving it out Thursday its obviously not in the interior campus and most likely off Nicholson.

Yea this was the first time I've seen the signs. We got there to set up at 3:30 that week since it was a huge game. After waiting a half hour or so, we removed the signs and set up shop... but I did see the fake golf cart police riding around collapsing tents so we hung out until 4:15 or so before leaving. Pretty annoying.

I've got seminar every friday afternoon from 3:30-4:45ish so surprisingly that hour makes a huge difference for me/my department on campus. Easier escape to my car without mass amounts of traffic and rvs headed onto campus

Not letting people set anything up until 5 is just going to create a bigger clusterfrick.

Many classes and labs are still open until 4:30, some even later. The 5pm set up time allows these students access to and from campus without the hassle of dealing with tailgaters and the associated traffic.I would come, park, and wait to unhook your trailer until 5.


There are only a handful of asians still in class that late on a Friday afternoon.

It seems LSU gets a little more restrictive with their tailgating rules every year.


Yes, this has been true for the past decade or so. When I started tailgating in the 1990's, you could literally park your cars wherever you wanted on campus, under trees, next to buildings, etc. It was awesome. Slowly, but surely, they made it more and more difficult to tailgate in the traditional way.

Finally, we had enough and quit a few years ago. Perhaps when my kids get older, I will give it another go.

You do know you can't rope off a spot?
