re: Woodward announced tailgating will be 100% normal and “wide open”

encounter MANY more individuals, in close proximity, during 2, 3, 4 hours of tailgating than I do sitting in my seats for the football game where I'm in close proximity with the same 5-6 people for the entire game.

Bogus argument. At tailgates a person can control who he is near. At the game he cannot. At the game a person gets exposed to complete strangers for about 4 hours (2 hours for most LSU fans who leave at halftime).

If mandates are in order (I don’t think they should be) a line has to be drawn somewhere. No matter where they draw it a critic can pick circumstances on either side of the line that seem to show inconsistency. But there is a clear difference between tailgating and attemding a game, with the latter being worse.
