This right here. East Baton Rouge voting 42.5% Republican when the parish is over 50% black. Almost split exactly along the races with how people vote.

It depends where on campus. It has been enforced on the parade ground for the last 10+ years. Other parts of campus, not so much.

re: Old front 9 tailgating is finished? Maybe not this year.

Posted by feedthepig20 on 8/10/25 at 3:28 pm to chackbay

It’s been death by 1000 cuts for LSU tailgating; but it’s not completely dead yet, although still headed that way.

20+ years ago LSU started their “don’t park on the tree roots” campaign. Ok, most people were good with that since nobody wants to kill trees/ destroy landscaping. But that was the first step to regulating parking/tailgate areas.

Then Skip came along early 2000s and made most large lots reserved.

Then in 2011 most of the interior of campus was made pay to park. But, you could still pay in cash when you pulled up to the lot on game day.

Then, a couple years later they made it a requirement to buy a parking pass ahead of game day for all of interior campus. Many of these spots stay empty for games that aren’t top match ups.

Few years later, parking along Nicholson was shut down.

Now RV’s moved out and old front 9 is gone.

It’s easy to see how fans can get fed up over time.

I’m just glad the rent-a-tailgate spots didn’t get covered with construction equipment. Would be tragic to lose such a tradition.

Actually some in the AD believe reducing the number of tailgates will keep people in TS longer. Some have suggested shutting down tailgates at halftime and enforce open containers on campus at halftime as incentive to keep people in TS and reduce drunk driving

re: Generators at tailgate

Posted by feedthepig20 on 9/6/24 at 8:17 pm to tigahfan747

In the official LSU tailgate rules it is not allowed; just like big tents and big bbq pits aren’t either. None of it is enforced.

On the LSU sports website LSU says this:
“No gas powered generators”

But then LSU says this:
“Portable electrical generators are permitted, but are discouraged.”

From the beginning of games the crowds aren’t as large as they were 2019 and before. Upper decks half full for exciting SEC games from the beginning. But people also leave earlier. It’s both problems from what I have seen. Yes, I still go to games.

I think everyone underestimates the number of people LSU pissed off in 2020 that will never be back. Actual Attendance has been falling for a while but took an obvious dive after 2020. For years LSU has been making it more expensive and more of a hassle to attend games but I think 2020 was the last straw for many.

It’s a bigger embarrassment when government officials like her help run a city into the ground causing lifelong residents to leave for their own safety. LSU will not survive as we know it as long as Baton Rouge stays on its current path. If you are an LSU fan you should boo her any chance you get.

There are still pockets of good tailgating but it isn’t widespread like it used to be. Almost all of campus has slowly become reserved parking, more every year. The entire interior of campus isn’t filled with tailgaters like it used to be. Parking not allowed on the side of Nicholson anymore, tailgating killed there.

They opened the PMAC this year for fans. That is probably why they closed the Union

No, LSU didn’t want to pay to keep the union open on game days and the athletic department also didn’t want to put up money to keep it open so that’s why they “opened the pmac”. The pmac has always been open to taf, so not much extra expense to open it to the public too. Of course, LSU athletics acted like they were doing us all a big favor by opening the pmac, but they were really just being cheap and using it as a cover for their cheapness.
