Know Before You Geaux: LSU Football vs. Southern (2024)

In anticipation of Saturday’s 2022 LSU Football home opener vs. Southern, LSU Athletics wishes to inform fans of important updates regarding new offerings inside and around Tiger Stadium and offer key reminders to help make the gameday experience exceptional for all who attend.

Sold Out

As announced earlier Wednesday, Saturday’s game is a sell-out. Fans still interested in purchasing tickets can visit StubHub to check availability. Given the historic nature of this game and the large community support from both fanbases, we expect up to 200,000 people on campus for game day. Anticipate large crowds and plan accordingly.

LSUsports.net/gameday

All important gameday updates will be posted to LSUSports.net/gameday. Fans are encouraged to utilize the page to plan their day prior to arrival on campus.

LSU Sports Mobile App

Utilizing geofencing and mobile push notifications, the LSU Sports Mobile app is another valuable resource for fans when planning and managing the gameday experience. Download the app today here to manage digital tickets, access parking maps and times of interest, and more.

Tickets

Fans utilizing digital tickets for Saturday’s game are strongly encouraged to download their tickets prior to arrival on campus. This will ensure fans have their tickets ready for entry upon arrival to their gate and prevent any issues related to connectivity near the stadium. For help with mobile tickets, LSUSports.net/mobile.

Parking & Traffic

In an effort to alleviate congestion and delays around parking and traffic, LSU Athletics has made a significant investment to increase police staffing on gameday. These additional investments serve as an effort to help mitigate the limitations imposed by larger infrastructural factors around the stadium.

Fans are also encouraged to utilize the Waze app to navigate their drive to campus. Campus parking lots are programmed into Waze, which will identify the quickest routes to and through campus.

Use this parking map while planning entry to and exit from campus on gameday and to find free gameday parking.

Contraflow

Due to the large number of expected vehicles for Saturday’s game, contraflow will be implemented following the game. Be advised that the zone in which you park indicates which direction you will be headed during your exit. The arrows on our postgame traffic map will assist with this. We have indicated directions below according to zone:

• Pink Zone: Exit North onto Nicholson Dr towards I-10
• Orange Zone: Exit East toward Highland Rd primarily through Dalrymple Dr
• Green Zone: Exit West on Skip Bertman towards River Rd; can then go Northbound or Southbound on River Rd
