What/where is Unity Field?


South stadium and highland. But it’s not called that on any LSU map or google map so you won’t find it. No clue who named it “Unity” because it’s anything but. It’s more segregated than all the other places on campus.

The LSU Black Student Union gave it that name

The Black Student Union is excited to announce our Annual BSU Family Weekend Tailgate on September 20th at Unity Field from 12 pm to 6 pm!

- Membership: Encourage your student, new or old, to join BSU! ($30/year via Cheddar Up).
- Amazon Registry: Donate supplies directly — all items ship straight to LSU.

I have some news for you if you think they’re gonna arrest people for smoking weed

They’ll get a ticket and sent on their way.

Making sure I got this right..

this largely black space, Unity Field, which promotes exactly the opposite of what the name implies.. has gotten too ratchet and now needs to be reeled in?

As an aside... How is this still a thing in 2025? Is there a white student union that excludes all other races? Equality and all

and blocking vehicle access to Highland Road without a pass

That’s gonna be interesting, especially with the Ag Center lots as free parking. Hopefully they close Highland at Parker and make the folks parking at the Ag Center access those lots from the lake side. If they close it at Highland/South Stadium it’s gonna be a clusterfrick as people go down South Stadium to Lakeshore/Parker, come back up Parker, and then cross back over Highland to get wherever they were trying to go.

Not to mention the mess of people trying to turn around on Chimes coming from the North side.

Probably worth it in the long run, just seems like it’ll be a shite show at first.

Our school group tail gated there for years and it only got like this during homecoming. Other than that it was basically like any other plot of grass on campus that had tailgates on it. As recently as 2016 at least. I never went down there and started tailgating at the Indian mounds afterwards.

Hahaha. This is going to be such a cluster frick.

LSU did it to themselves though.

Won't the Unity Field group just find another spot to tailgate or is anyone really thinking that this will discourage them from attending?
