Did he say the location of these screening stations? Will they be all around campus?


If they actually want people to take advantage of it, they would have 3 or 4 spread out around campus.

Ban…

Seriously it has so many loop holes that show this has nothing to do about stopping the spread.

Have they added anything on recently infected (at least last 90 days) being allowed in? Or since only one dosage required how many days since the first dosage is required to be allowed into the stadium and how or will the 2nd dosage be checked for & required in future games 3 or 4 weeks after 1st dosage which can differ for each person.

Initial articles seem to make it not only settling for a single dose but also any time before. Can someone really get first dosage on day the Friday before game and be allowed in while someone infected last month will not be allowed in?

That makes the mandates to get in the stadium even more absurd!

Tailgating wide open and everyone running around mingling with one another yet you have to show your papers proving you are a Vaxxer or proof of negative to get inside...Vaxxers do not have to show proof they are negative to get inside even though they spread the virus as well...makes sense...:clownworld:

Close, I would imagine this is from legal. If you get sick outside of the stadium, it's on you.

Of course he says that, he is a PR guy. Why do you think LSU requires paid tailgate spots now? and pay for parking spots close to campus? It is part money but it also has the other impact.

Again, it is the incremental crowds, who don't do anything but take away parking from people who have tickets for the game.

This also should help game attendence, both from people coming for tailgating and the game plus more people on campus to buy tickets from those who have decided not to go.

The AD was never going to let that happen after the revenue lost last year...best he learns early that he's not the one in charge here

I don't think that is true. First off, sources that I do know personally who work on academic side of LSU have told me all summer faculty were not wanting a full return to campus. On that point, President Tate was 100% opposed to going back to the model LSU had last spring with classes of 80 or 100 and more (whatever the number was) having to be remote.

My good friend, who teaches mass lecture classes has a class size of like 600 and they were all in class. Apparently LSU has all these air sanitizer machines in each class and from what he told me, these things run 4K to 6K a pop. His class room had 4 or 5 of these things in it.

Maybe some of you guys who have children at LSU can confirm the air sanitizers being in every class and mass lecture classes meeting (100 or more) in person 100% but that is what is going on and that was the plan all along.

The debate among LSU BOS, President Tate, AD Woodward, JBE and Mayor Broome was from what I heard over the vaccine or proof of negative COVID-19 test to enter TS. Now could Tate have said without vaccine or Proof of negative Test, 50% capacity, perhaps, but the requirements of vaccine or negative test is the policy for LSU students, Faculty, Staff and Administrators to be on campus now so the LSU football game policy is in fact no different.

If Tate thought that was even remotely a possibility, then he is 100x more dumb than I originally thought

This sounds a lot like the “Pelini was Woodward’s choice” nonsense.

Link, or someone lied.

so non vaxed non tested potential positives can now party with stadium goers all day potentially infecting all of them meanwhile they show a 3 day old test, don't see what could go wrong here. Gotta love the virtue signaling culture we live in today.

But my guess is he is assuming that most of the tailgaters are also people who go to the game. So even lets say a fall game in October back before COVID, Auburn or Florida that had maybe 125 to 130K on campus, 95K or more of those went to the game, that is 73 to 76% of the fans who would have to show vaccine or proof of no COVID which is at a level where some herd immunity takes place. Now for an Alabama game where it maybe 150K on campus or something like that 2007 LSU-Florida Tebow game, which still might be the most crowded I remember along with the 2008 First Saban game, lets assume 100K in the stands out of 150K and we are looking at 67%, so not quite the herd level immunity benchmark.
