The SEC also announced that LSU’s non-conference contest against Louisiana-Lafayette on Sept. 19 will be televised by ESPNU and kickoff at 6 p.m. in Tiger Stadium. The SEC and ESPN released television plans for just the first three weeks of the regular season. The remainder of the television schedule will be announced as the season progresses.
Both games are part of the new 15-year landmark television package between ESPN and the SEC which calls for extensive coverage in football, men’s and women’s basketball, Olympic sports and conference championship content across multiple ESPN entities beginning this fall.
As a result of the deal -– the longest national rights agreement in ESPN history – ESPN will showcase more than 5,500 SEC events on ESPN, ESPN on ABC, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN Regional Television, ESPN360.com, ESPN Mobile TV, ESPN GamePlan, ESPN FULL COURT, ESPN International, ESPN Deportes and ESPN Classic. ESPN has televised the SEC since 1982.

LSU Football Home Opener Set for 6 p.m. on ESPNU
LSU Tight End Richard Dickson
MANHASSET, N.Y. — LSU senior tight end Richard Dickson has been named to the 2009 John Mackey Award preseason watch list, presented annually to the nation’s top collegiate tight end, the Nassau County Sports Commission announced on Wednesday.
Dickson, a native of Ocean Springs, Miss., heads into his final LSU season with a shot at breaking every tight end receiving record in school history. For his career, he has caught 69 passes for 795 yards and 10 touchdowns in 39 games.
Dickson’s 10 touchdown receptions are tied with Brad Boyd for the most in school history, while his 69 receptions is the fourth-highest total and the 795 yards are the fifth most in school history.
In 2008, he earned second-team All-Southeastern Conference honors after hauling in 31 passes for 324 yards and five touchdowns. Dickson started all 13 games, ranking third on the team in receptions and yards and was second on the squad in touchdown catches.
The award recipient is selected by vote of the John Mackey Award Selection Committee and the 2009 award winner will be announced on Dec. 10, 2009. Since 2000, the John Mackey Award boasts eight NFL players as alumni.
NFL Hall of Fame member John Mackey is considered to be the best to have played the tight end position. Mackey was a role model on and off the field as demonstrated by his Super Bowl Championship, his commitment to his community and his place in history as the first President of the NFLPA.
LSU reports to camp a week from today on Aug. 5 with practice scheduled to begin a day later. LSU opens its fifth year under head coach Les Miles on Sept. 5 when the Tigers travel to face Washington in Seattle. Kickoff is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. CT (7:30 p.m. PT) on ESPN.

LSU Tigers TE Richard Dickson on Mackey Award Watch ListTailgating
Tailgating has become a part of college football all across the country, but at LSU, Tiger fans have turned it into an art form. Over two-thirds of Tiger fans tailgate for five or more hours before every game, and many begin celebrating the great Tiger football experience more than 24 hours before kickoff.
LSU encourages its fans to come to campus early and enjoy the great tradition of tailgating. LSU also encourages its fans to tailgate in a responsible manner, respectful of the campus and respectful of other Tiger fans and fans from visiting schools.
Help us keep your campus clean by bagging your trash and using recycling containers. LSU’s Facility Services Department distributes trash bags throughout campus on game days for your convenience. For the safety and enjoyment of all fans, please keep the following guidelines in mind when tailgating at LSU football games:
General Tailgating Policies
Bands
POLICY: Live musical bands are not allowed at tailgating sites.
REASON: This policy is intended to protect the enjoyment of other fans. Musical tastes and tolerable noise levels vary greatly from tailgate party to tailgate party.
Caterers
POLICY: Caterers must have proper parking permits to be admitted to private tailgate areas in reserved lots.
REASON: Parking lot attendants are instructed to only allow vehicles with parking permits into reserved lots. They cannot be expected to monitor vehicles that intend to drop off items and leave the lots.
Cookers
POLICY: Cookers on trailers are not allowed in reserved lots, and no cooker at any location on campus may be larger than a 55-gallon drum (23” in diameter x 35” long). Cookers may not be placed in travel lanes or in parking spaces. Cookers may not be placed inside buildings. (Revised: 2007)
REASON: All parking spaces are reserved for vehicles and may not be occupied by cookers. The size of cookers is regulated for safety reasons so that a cooker may be moved if necessary in the event of an accident or emergency. Cookers inside buildings are an obvious safety hazard.
Flammables
POLICY: Charcoal must be disposed of properly. Please do not place charcoal or other flammables in trash cans, under trees or leave it in the parking areas.
REASON: Even items that appear to be extinguished may remain flammable and cause fires.
Food Distribution
POLICY: Companies may not issue sample products without being properly licensed by the University. Food, drink, and other items may neither be sold nor given to the general public.
REASON: This is a matter of legal liability for everyone involved. The University does not allow the sale or distribution of food on the LSU campus without proper credentials and insurance.
Generators
POLICY: Portable electrical generators are permitted, but are discouraged. For temporary electrical needs, LSU recommends the use of battery operated inverters
that convert the battery current to house current. These recommended devices do not generate hazardous carbon monoxide emissions, do not require gasoline cans and resultant hazards, and do not create noise that is potential damaging to hearing and a nuisance to fellow tailgaters. The operation of portable electrical generators that create excessive noise, emission hazards or other safety concerns will not be permitted. (Revised: 2007)
REASON: Older generators can be loud and intrusive for other tailgaters. Older generators can also pose safety issues and may create a pollution hazard.
Glass Containers
POLICY: Glass containers are strongly discouraged for use during tailgating activities.
REASON: Broken glass can cause a safety hazard, not only for tailgaters, but also for students on campus during the week. This is a particular concern on the Parade Ground and other areas that are used for student recreational activities.
Motorized Vehicles (Go Carts, Etc.)
POLICY: Golf carts, mopeds, scooters, ATVs and go carts are not permitted on the LSU campus unless authorized by LSU.
REASON: The use of motorized vehicles other than automobiles and motor homes can be a danger to pedestrians, especially children.
Music (Amplified)
POLICY: Music must be confined to your tailgate area and speakers must be directed into your tailgate party. All music must be turned off by midnight the night before games and by 2 a.m. after games. Tailgaters are encouraged to contact LSU Police at (225) 578-3231 when music from another tailgate party becomes a nuisance.
REASON: This policy is intended to protect the enjoyment of other fans. Musical tastes and tolerable noise levels vary greatly from tailgate party to tailgate party.
Political Activity
POLICY: Political signage that implies endorsement of any political candidate or any political issue may not be displayed nor may political materials be distributed without prior approval by LSU. Parking permits do not imply a permit to conduct political activity.
REASON: The University seeks to balance First Amendment rights with its obligation to eliminate or reduce activities that significantly detract from fans’ enjoyment of the event. The University will not allow itself to be perceived as endorsing a political candidate or issue.
Port-O-Lets
POLICY: Individuals may not arrange to bring portable restrooms onto campus. LSU provides port-o-lets and restrooms in many buildings throughout campus for the convenience of fans.
REASON: Unless LSU manages the activity of providing port-o-lets on campus, these units can be left in parking lots in areas utilized by students on class days, and may remain unserviced, resulting in unsanitary conditions.
Security and Safety
POLICY: It is the responsibility of each tailgate party to secure tailgate items prior to entering the stadium. Tailgaters should lock food, beverages and valuables out of sight in vehicles; extinguish all fires or flames; unplug electrical outlets; secure barbecue pits, chairs, and ice chests; and store beverages in locked containers.
REASON: Up to 120,000 fans tailgate on the LSU campus on game days. LSU cannot ensure the security of each and every tailgate party on campus.
Signage and Banners
POLICY: Banners and signage recognizing businesses may not be displayed nor may promotional materials be distributed without prior approval by LSU.
REASON: LSU operates a successful corporate sponsor program. In order to fulfill contractual obligations with its sponsors, LSU cannot permit businesses to display banners or signage on campus. Only companies that have corporate sponsor agreements with LSU Athletics may display their signage. Companies interested in more information on this subject should contact LSU Sports Properties at (225) 578-7049.
Solicitation
POLICY: Solicitations of any kind within LSU facilities or on LSU premises are prohibited unless specifically approved by LSU. The distribution of flyers or leaflets on parked vehicles is expressly prohibited.
REASON: This is also a matter of legal liability and institutional control. LSU does not allow the sale or distribution of goods and services on the LSU campus without proper credentials and insurance.
Utilities Owned by University
POLICY: The use of electrical outlets in or on LSU facilities, or other utilities such as water sources, is expressly prohibited. This policy will be strictly enforced and violators will be subject to arrest for theft of utilities. (Revised: 2007)
REASON: Overuse of utilities can cause outages, surges or shortages that may affect critical operations on the LSU campus.
Tents
Tent Size
POLICY: Tents should be no larger than 10’ by 10’ and may not be staked into the ground. Limited space is available near the Alex Box parking lot for larger tents. Please call LSU Sports Properties at (225) 578-7049 to reserve a space.
REASON: Tents must be of a size that can be moved quickly in the event of an emergency. Oversized tents can impede the tailgating enjoyment of other fans. Please be courteous in the placement of tents.
Tents During Game
POLICY: Tents should be taken down before you enter the game.
REASON: Unexpected winds can cause tents to scatter when unattended, and tents are subject to theft when left alone.
Tents in Parking Lot
POLICY: Fans using a tent or canopy over the tailgate of a vehicle should keep travel lanes open for vehicle traffic and should not take up space in other parking spaces. Tents may not be used to save parking spaces.
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 and pedestrians to pass. This is also important to allow for the passage of emergency vehicles.
Tents on Sidewalk
POLICY: Tents may not be set up on sidewalks or any area of regular flow of pedestrian traffic.
REASON: Sidewalks must be left passable for pedestrians. Please be courteous of other tailgaters.
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.
Motor Home Parking
Season Reserved
Reserved motor home parking on a season basis is located in three areas on the LSU campus. All reserved motor home parking passes are sold out. To get on a waiting list for reserved motor home parking, register atLSUsports.net.
NOTE: Motor Homes may park on the LSU campus only in the areas listed on this page.
Individual Game
Reserved motor home parking on a game-by-game basis is located in one area on the LSU campus:
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.
