LSU cashes in again - new space at LSU sold to tailgate company for games

They are bragging about the deal since it is “new space” and “no one is displaced.” New space created with my tax dollars. I would have liked to tailgate there but it looks like corporate clients will be blocking that space off. Doesn’t seem right.

LSU is dedicating a new green space starting with this fall's football games to its “exclusive tailgate partner” — a Dallas-based company that plans to sell roughly 200 tailgate packages per game.

School and company officials say the move won’t displace any existing tailgaters. As part of a recently completed Patrick F. Taylor renovation project, the Old Forestry Building was demolished, creating the green space, said LSU spokesman Ernie Ballard.
“Obviously that was a concern for us because we wanted to make sure the traditions fans had were not stepped on,” Munson said. “Once this new land popped up we decided to go forward with it.”
LSU officials then began trying to develop the roughly 120,000 square feet of space for a tailgating service. The space is located next to Patrick F. Taylor hall, which fronts Nicholson Drive Extension next to the Business Education Complex..

Does this mean they won't have to cancel football season?

You want a relevant, big time program? You have to deal with stuff like this

Ever increasing prices, limiting/charging for parking/tailgating, and abysmal traffic strategies are going to bite LSU in the arse.

Because nothing says LSU tailgating like hot dogs, pretzels, and jambalaya made with ketchup.

That’s the cost to have a next level program. The world is changing. Have to keep up

I don’t see the problem with this. It’s when the mess with existing space that it’s time to bitch.

If you can't see this is just the first step in replacing all tailgating with this crap, then you haven't been paying attention for the past 10 years.

What level are we trying to achieve here?

The next step will be to force these packages on certain lots near the stadium. After that, they’ll expand to all lots on campus. Eventually, if you want to tailgate on campus, you’ll have to use their vendor.

Ding. Ding. Ding. We have a winner folks. I completely see this as the camels nose under the tent. I still remember when they moved our family parking spot away from the stadium and gave those reserved spots to politicians.
