LSU to Allow Full Capacity for Outdoor Sporting Events, No Masks Required

Published|Updated

LSU will allow 100% fan capacity for all of its outdoor sporting events and masks will no longer be required.

LSU Athletics announced Wednesday it would follow the lead of Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edward's proclamation.

LSU Director of Athletics Scott Woodward said the university is excited about the opportunity to welcome fans back in full force this weekend.

"This move is another positive step for our campus and community," Woodward said. "I want to thank our fans that have patiently waited and abided by the protocols we had in place since our return to competition in the fall."

Fans will also be allowed to resume normal tailgating activities on campus with no COVID-related restrictions, the news release states.

The move to full capacity at LSU outdoor athletic events starts on Friday night at Alex Box Stadium when the Tigers host top-ranked Arkansas. The first pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m.
