LSU Does the Right Thing-Hopefully the Rest of SEC Follows

LSU will require anyone attending Tiger Stadium who is 12 years of age or older to provide proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within the last 72 hours, the school announced on Tuesday.

LSU, which became the first school in the SEC to outline such a policy, cited a rise in COVID-19 cases and the "highly transmissible" delta variant.




All summer SEC schools have talked about full attendance-ignoring Covid. This could go along way in encouraging getting the vaccine

Oregon (Autzen Stadium) is also limiting time for tailgate parties to 2 1/2 hours before the game.

I'm happy as a lark because I plan on attending more than one game.

GEAUX TIGERS!
