Maravich Center Entrances, Student Section Open Early
There are four upper concourse entrances open for all home meets (NE, SE, SW, NW).

The LSU student entrance located on the Upper W concourse (facing Bernie Moore Stadium) will open at 5:45 p.m. All other entrances will open at 6 p.m. Friday.
Additional Concessions
LSU has added concession food trucks/trailers to the Upper NW and Upper W concourse areas. The food truck/trailers are located just outside the entry doors and are only accessible from inside the arena.
North Stadium Drive Closed to Vehicle Traffic
The section of North Stadium Drive from West Stadium Drive to Fieldhouse Drive will be closed at 5:30 p.m. Only those with Lot 201 or Lot 300 parking permits will have vehicular access to North Stadium Drive. Lot 101 will still be accessible for free parking for all patrons. All other parking lots on campus will remain free and open to the public.
