Parking Policies

Carpooling
POLICY: Fans are encouraged to carpool as often as possible and to arrive early to campus.
REASON: The less vehicles on campus on game day, the more parking opportunities there will be for everyone.

Closed Streets
POLICY: North Stadium Drive, South Stadium Drive and West Stadium Drive (next to Tiger Stadium) will be closed to all vehicular traffic on game days.
REASON: The streets nearest to Tiger Stadium are heavily utilized by pedestrians. Vehicular traffic on those streets would present a danger to those pedestrians.

Neutral Grounds (Median) Parking
POLICY: Parking of vehicles on the neutral ground (median) on Nicholson Drive is not permitted.
REASON: Vehicles parked on neutral grounds can obstruct the vision of motorists and presents a danger for pedestrians and motorists.

Nicholson Drive Parking
POLICY: Vehicles may not park on the shoulders of Nicholson Drive between North Stadium Drive and Gourrier Lane prior to 7 p.m. on Fridays before football games. Vehicles that park on Nicholson Drive prior to this time will be towed. (Instituted: 2007 football season)
REASON: Parked vehicles on Nicholson Drive can cause obstructed views for vehicles traveling on Nicholson Drive and for students walking to classes.

Parking in Designated Areas
POLICY: Automobiles and motor homes may park only in designated areas. No parking is permitted on roots of trees.
REASON: LSU has one of the most picturesque campuses in America, and we ask our fans to help preserve its beauty. Parking on the roots of LSU’s historic oak trees will shorten the life span of this valuable resource.

Police Directions
POLICY: Motorists should follow the directions given by police officers on campus.
REASON: Policemen along the traffic routes and at parking lots are there to direct motorists to the best routes for the closest available parking.

Saving Spaces
POLICY: Saving parking spaces for other motorists is not permitted in any lot.
REASON: Parking on the LSU campus is first-come, firstserved, except in lots with reserved spaces.

Spaces for Vehicles Only
POLICY: Reserved parking spaces are for vehicles only. The purchase and use of a parking pass for other reasons, such as port-o-lets, trailers, tents, chairs, etc., is not permitted.
REASON: There are a limited number of parking spaces on the LSU campus for the 92,000 fans that attend games. It is important to make every space available for use for parking.

Travel Lanes
POLICY: Tailgating is not permitted in travel lanes on roads or parking lots. No tents or other items may be placed in travel lanes.
REASON: Vehicles must be able to access parking spots via travel lanes. Also, for the safety of tailgaters, travel lanes must remain clear for vehicles to pass, especially emergency vehicles.

Handicap Parking

Free Handicap Parking
Free individual handicap parking is conveniently located in Lot M between the Pete Maravich Assembly Center and the Dub Robinson Tennis Courts, north of Tiger Stadium. There are a limited number of spaces available. This area is available on a first come, first served basis beginning at 7 a.m. on game days. The lot is accessible by presenting a valid state issued handicap parking permit and/or valid handicap drivers’ license to the traffic officers on site. The handicapped individual must be in the vehicle when entering the lot.

Paid Handicap Parking
Paid Handicap Parking is sold out. Persons interested in purchasing a paid reserved parking permit can register for a waiting list at LSUsports.net. Reserved handicap parking permits cost $300 for the entire season and may require a Tradition Fund contribution. To purchase a season handicap-parking permit, you must have a state issued handicap parking permit or letter from your doctor stating the reason you need to park near the stadium, and a valid ID. Contact the LSU Athletics Ticket Office at (225) 578-2184 for more information. Passes are not transferable. The handicapped individual must be in the vehicle when entering the lot.

Oversided Vehicle Parking (New for 2008)

Definition of Oversized Vehicle
DEFINITION: An oversized vehicle for the purpose of LSU football tailgating is any vehicle other than a motor home more than 20 feet long and/or 7 feet wide. Oversized vehicles may park only with the permission of LSU.
REASON: Oversized vehicles do not fit into designated parking spaces and require special accommodations.

Bus Parking
POLICY: Charter buses will park in Lot W on Skip Bertman Drive, just west of the Charles McClendon Practice Fields (see parking map).
REASON: Lot W is the closest of lots to Tiger Stadium that can accommodate buses AND offer good access for buses to arrive and depart the LSU campus.

Limousines
POLICY: Due to limited parking spaces, the use of limousines as transportation to the football games is discouraged. Limousines that do travel to LSU for the football games will be directed to park in Lot W on Skip Bertman Drive and must remain in place in that lot throughout the game or leave the campus. A $100 parking fee will be required to park in this lot. Limousines may not park overnight prior to the game. It is recommended that limousines approach campus on Nicholson Drive or River Road and do not attempt to pass through campus. After the game, those traveling in limousines must meet their limousine at Lot W. There are a limited number of spaces available for limousines, so please contact the LSU Athletics Ticket Office at (225) 578-2184 in advance to purchase a permit for the game.
REASON: Lot W is the closest of lots to Tiger Stadium that can accommodate limos AND offer good access for limos to arrive and depart the LSU campus. Limousines take up more space than a normal automobile, so it is necessary to designate a particular location for these vehicles.

Utility Trailers
POLICY: Utility trailers are not permitted to park in reserved lots. Motor home owners will be permitted to pull a trailer into a motor home lot to drop off items up until seven hours prior to kickoff. Vehicles are permitted 15 minutes to drop off items in motor home lots. If the owner of a utility vehicle chooses to keep his/her trailer on campus, they will be directed to park it in a non-reserved lot such as a lot on Gourrier Lane.
REASON: Spaces in reserved lots are reserved exclusively for cars or motor homes. Even if a utility trailer fits into a motor home space, it can cause tailgate parties to
overflow into travel lanes, causing a hazard for other vehicles and the passage of emergency vehicles.

Additional Motor Home Parking

Because motor home lots on the LSU campus sometimes fill, LSU recommends Farr Park, located approximately two miles south of campus on River Road. Farr Park can be contacted at (225) 769-7805.

Motor Home Parking Policies

Only Motor Homes Allowed
POLICY: Motor home spaces may only be used for motor homes. Spaces may not be used for automobiles, trailers, tents, port-o-lets, etc.
REASON: All spaces in motor home lots are reserved for motor homes, and all spaces have been sold. There is a waiting list for motor home parking passes, so space in these lots is in high demand.

Opening Time for Lots
POLICY: Parking for motor homes in Lot B and Touchdown Village is available after 5 p.m. on Fridays of home football games. As these spaces are individually reserved, it is requested that the motor homes not arrive on campus until after 5 p.m.
REASON: Motor home lots are used as student parking lots during the week. The University cannot ask students to move their vehicles until 5 p.m. on Fridays.

Closing for Time for Lots
POLICY: Motor homes must vacate the LSU campus by noon on Sunday following games (time subject to change).
REASON: LSU must have time to remove trash and clean all parking lots prior to the beginning of classes on Monday mornings.

Exhaust Extensions
POLICY: All motor homes require exhaust extensions that reach the top of the motor home. For the safety of everyone, motor homes without an extension should not operate a generator. This also applies to generators used by fifth-wheelers.
REASON: Exhaust fumes are dangerous and annoying to other tailgaters.

No Vehicles Allowed

POLICY: Trailers, golf carts, ATVs, scooters, mopeds and go carts are prohibited in motor home lots for safety reasons.
REASON: There are many people, including children, walking and playing in the motor home lots. The use of moving vehicles is dangerous to these pedestrians.
