My 2 boys under 12 walked right in no problem without masks.

Guess what, people have choices, and they are choosing to make a statement to the university that they disagree with these policies and disagree with this leadership.
Rules/decisions have consequences and the leaders knew some would choose not to go when they made the decision - just like the increased costs mentioned above.
Mask/Vax not being strictly enforced doesn’t mean people are all of a sudden ok with this idiotic rule, as someone else stated it actually makes it worse. Zero chance I or my kids would wear a mask outdoors for any reason even just to get past the gate.
All of this stuff pushes more and more people to just watch from the comfort of their house.

I’d say the people not showing up because of the requirement are pissed off because of the obvious virtue signaling by the university and not the enforcement of it.
And I will tell you that LSU's campus COVID-19 policies (football included) are more to do with internal LSU politics. More specifically, a subset of activist faculty pissed off at President Tate for not imposing stricter COVID-19 policies on campus, including for football games since those same subset of faculty (some of them are well known given their presence on social media) are pissed about having to teach in person in classes that are not following the 50% capacity policy that was imposed last spring. that is, classes of 100 or more had to be off campus on remote/on-line, classes under 100 on campus but had to be in a room where the number of students were no more than 50% capacity.
Even today based on some of my campus sources (academic side) these issues are still very hot an heavy. So much so that the LSU BOS and President Tate are wanting to disband a group led by one of these LSU faculty subsets that are active in social media that act outside the bounds of what is the official LSU academic/faculty body that votes on the interest of the LSU Faculty, Instructors, the Faculty of LSU Senate or something to that effect.
So again talking to some folks that I go to Church with and live in my neighborhood that work in academics at LSU and share things about campus politics, there are now and have been all summer conflicts between a large vocal subset of LSU academics and President Tate about what LSU's COVID-19 policies should be. This subset wanted them much stronger than what is in place now.
And I am a season ticket holder who as of yet has not gone to a home game. Not out of protest, I just want to see how the COVID-19 policy works and see what the data look like. Seems to be working well, no major spikes and people I talked to said they got in pretty efficiently, so I plan to be at the Auburn game.

"If you do not stand for something, you will fall for anything."
It's not about whether they're enforcing it. It's about giving LSU the middle finger and drawing the line somewhere on this covid shite before there's no turning back

Then that subset can go work at another school with the tighter restrictions they desire. However, reality is they CAN'T. Otherwise they would have already done so. Or at least the WON'T because of the cushiness of their job at LSU. So their threats are nothing more than empty threats that a stronger president and BOS would clearly recognize. Calling someone's bluff is a strong response to end ridiculous demands. Here's a secret. LSU has been around for 150+ years. I suspect it would continue to function even if those disgruntled employees left (which they won't)
Unfortunately, Louisiana has a governor who wants, above all, to toe the party line. A conservative Governor could step in (quietly) and dictate to the BOS how they were going to handle the situation which would give a brand new president "cover" for the decision ("sorry faculty...blame the governor"). But instead, you have a governor who wants to virtue signal with the rest of these clowns resulting in the non-sensical actions taken by the university.

Well said. And it’s not just not attending, because I will not watch it on TV either. After not watching much last year or at all this year, I don’t even know who is on the team anymore anyway.
Posted on 9/23/21 at 9:13 am to jakethesnake1596
It's very simple.. Get rid of the mask/vaccination protocols or I'm not going to the games.
I will watch and support from afar but I'm not playing their "in the name of public safety" bullshite game.

Well based on the current attendance social distancing has been pretty easy.

Yup the branch covidians are in the minority and regular sane people are fed up. Enjoy the record low attendances!

If yall think this is the last vaccine mandate then yall are kidding yourselves. Once they know they can get away with this one there will be more and more every time a virus shows up and they want to line their pockets. The patriot act isn't going away and neither will this. And maybe this vaccine is safe but who's to say the next one will be? The government has a history of fricking up when it comes to health policies. We have to draw a line somewhere and we've given in far too much already. Have some balls and give up football for a few Saturdays so we can get our lives back

Did you get prescreened? Because they’re definitely checking the cards/LA wallet app. Masks aren’t required except for children under 12.
Last Saturday, my pre-screening by the people walking around to the various tailgates was, have you had or experiencing any symptoms and do you feel well today? Answered no and yes...gave me a wristband.

So let me get this straight. The school announced a rule for both entry requirements as well as while attending that damn near a majority of fans disagree with and a large portion, all be it smaller, vehemently disagree with. On top of years of actions and decisions that eroded game day atmosphere in an attempt to squeeze every penny out of every attendee and individual on campus.
And you want people to just get over it because they aren’t enforcing it? If LSU hadn’t spent the last 5-8 years restricting parking, restricting tailgating, corporatizing tickets, and everything inside tiger stadium, these entry requirements and mask mandates would probably have impacted attendance some, but not a lot.
And for me, its not just the football related bullshite.
Removing Middleton's name from the library, smearing his name, insulting his family, then refusing to give them back his personal items.
Honoring a career criminal and habitual drug user by lighting up Tiger Stadium in his school colors.
Hiring an expert in CRT to run the flagship university of Louisiana.
I have stopped all monetary donations to LSU - both to the Foundation and the TAF.
So when the covid mandate bullshite came out, it wasn't a hard decision that I'd rather be doing something else than spend all that time and money to support a school whose values are so different than my own; in fact I suspect that those who run the school most likely hate me for my values.
And its a shame too. I love LSU, but it is no longer the LSU that I fell in love with.

It's crazy that LSU has forced people to "Break the Law" in order to just watch a football game.

Many people are sick and tired of our government overlords trying to force us to comply with their overreach. We've had it - and are saying no.
Yes, it's easier to meekly comply, but if the gov't knows the population can be so easily controlled out of unfounded fear, then they will feel empowered and will stretch their power even more next time (and there WILL be a next time).
Enough is enough.

They cared so much about my vaccine card I walked in with a beer in my hand.
