closed area of campus is comprised of the area bordered on the east by the Parade Ground going west to Nicholson Drive


Ok so my reading comprehension sucks, but does this mean Nicholson will be closed???

Where did you get this press release?

I tailgate, but what about people who actually just park and go to the games? This means in order to drive your vehicle, park and go to the game you need to get there 12 hours early in some cases?

if you plan on parking inside the interior of campus (the little guardshacks) without a parking pass, than yes. Otherwise, not really that different.

Better LINK

If you usually drive through campus during the day to park or drop gear off, call Herb Vincent and let him know this is a problem.

True, but what about the people that drive through to drop off ice chests, grills, etc...
They going to have to carry that shite in now?

I have been going to the LSU games since 1960. I know my way around the campus but do not know all of the streets. We have been tailgating next to the tower on Tower Dr. Will we be able to get to our parking spot after 7 AM.

No.
Call The Athletic Dept, tell them you need to speak to someone about why they changed the policy 10 days before kickoff.

It will not.
Tower Dr is East of Highland, so no dice.

We tailgate by the Indian Mounds and usually park 2 cars there on Friday and then on Saturday morning move the two cars with the ones that carry all of the supplies. This really sucks...now we are going to have to haul stuff a very long way.

I'm really pissed about this.

see you read it the way i did too at first. it said the eastern most point is the parade grounds, not highland. highland and dalrymple all the way up to the guard shack are still ok.
