LATEST NEWS FROM THE ADVOCATE IN BATON ROUGE:

LSU may require fans to wear a mask inside Tiger Stadium this fall, athletic director Scott Woodward said Friday, one of many precautions the school has considered to limit the spread of coronavirus.

LSU will reach a decision on football season and whether or not fans can enter Tiger Stadium in mid-July, Woodward said during a town hall with The Advocate earlier this month.

"I'm expecting a pretty damn full stadium basing it today, June 19, 2020" Woodward said Friday. "I think they're going to be there, and I'm going to have to beat them back. We have to make sure we do it right and as safe as we can do it."

Current signs point toward a season, though months remain until the scheduled season opener. Woodward wants to gather as much information as possible before LSU and the Southeastern Conference make decisions.

Football players recently began voluntary workouts in preparation for a season. The NCAA earlier this week approved an extended preseason practice plan, allowing teams to begin walk-throughs July 24.

"In my heart of hearts, I think we're going to play football," Woodward said Friday, "and I think we're going to play in front of fans."

GEAUX TIGERS!!!

I don’t see the state of Florida or the state of Georgia allowing their teams to play unless both of those states numbers change drastically in the next month or so. If the entire league can’t play, there’s no use of having a season.

You wrote, “I don’t see . . . “

That is exactly your problem.

Why?

We've had protests with thousands of people within inches of each other.

100 people in Tigerland got it last weekend and none of them were hospitalized and none died. So basically 100 people got a cold.

There is absolutely no reason to not have football in every stadium in America come September.

phew...due to covid capacity requirements, I had heard a rumor that season ticket holders would be allowed to attend only 3 games. And the season ticket holder would not be able to chose which 3 games...would be chosen for them (guessing based on priority points).

LSU's Scott Woodward was named the top athletic director in the SEC by Stadium's Brett McMurphy and Jeff Goodman. Woodward joins the show to answer questions about hirings for the Tigers.
