Starting this weekend, LSU is cracking down on large unauthorized gatherings that aren't “traditional tailgating” events and violate policies. President Wade Rousse put it this way:
“While tailgating is embedded within the fabric of our community, we must remember it is a shared privilege that mandates a safe environment focused on one event, the LSU football game.”
