LSU will be subject to a fine from the SEC if objects are thrown onto the field.

• Tiger Stadium is Cashless
Tiger Stadium is a cashless venue. There are cash to card machines located throughout Tiger Stadium.

Traffic and Parking

• In-Bound Directions on Waze
LSU Athletics has developed a custom Waze gameday traffic map. The live map on desktop, mobile web browsers or the Waze App provide real time information for traveling to and from campus. LSUsports.net/directions or waze.com/live-map.

• Street Closures
May Street, located between the LSU Lakes off of Dalrymple Drive, will be closed for the 2025 season due to the LSU Lakes Project. In addition, the East Lakeshore underpass will be closed for all of 2025.

• Parking Changes
Due to ongoing campus construction, several adjustments have been made to football parking:

• Touchdown Village 2 / RV Parking
A new LSU Housing project is underway in Touchdown Village 2. RVs previously parked there have been relocated to Alex Box Hall of Fame Lot and Bullpen Lots 408 and 409.

• Old Front Nine Lots Are Now Pay To Park
The Old Front Nine Lots will be paid parking in 2025. The parking spots in the Old Front Nine are sold game-by-game and on a first-come, first-serve basis. The cost to park in the Old Front Nine is $50.

Payment is by credit card and will be taken as fans enter the parking lot. Fans may park in the gravel area and on the grass, just as in years past. The Old Front Nine Lot will open at 7 a.m. on game day. Entry to the Old Front Nine is from Gourrier Drive. Tailgating is still permitted at the Old Front Nine Lots.

• ADA Parking
Paid ADA parking is available on the first floor of the Nicholson Garage. Passes for this area must be purchased in advance here. Free ADA parking is still located in Lot 406 off of Skip Bertman Drive. Shuttles will run from the free ADA lot with drop off near Torchy’s off Nicholson Drive.

Tailgating

• Protecting the Oak Trees
Please help us preserve LSU’s historic oak trees. Tents and tailgate set ups are allowed under the oaks, but trailers and vehicles may not park on the mulch or root zones around the oaks. Any vehicles or trailers parked on mulch or root zones will be asked to move or will be towed. Protecting these trees ensures they remain part of the gameday experience for generations of Tigers.
