LSU said campus-wide delays, disruptions and added security checkpoints are expected because of the high-profile guests and on-site U.S. Secret Service operations. Fans should arrive early and allow additional time for parking and campus travel. Enhanced screening will be strictly enforced, so review LSU’s prohibited-items graphic before approaching the stadium gates.
A designated red restricted zone will be completely closed. Parking, driving, walking and tailgating will not be permitted inside that area, and tailgates normally located there must move for the day. Yellow routes on LSU’s gameday map mark the pedestrian paths available around the restricted areas.
LSU adjusted suite-ticket access around possible route closures. Gates 11-12 and 22-28 can scan suite tickets for patrons who need an accessible route. After entering, those patrons should head east or southeast toward Gates 20-21 for access to the suite elevators.
Anyone who encounters a problem on gameday can text “LSU,” followed by the issue and location, to 69050.
Separate construction-related closures remain in effect. May Street, between the LSU Lakes off Dalrymple Drive, will be closed for the 2026 season because of the LSU Lakes Project, while the East Lakeshore underpass will remain closed throughout 2026. Interior campus streets begin shutting down at 5:00 a.m. Saturday, and all stadium gates open at 9:00 a.m.
Why it matters
The security plan changes how fans can park, walk, tailgate and enter Tiger Stadium. Suite-ticket holders also may need to use alternate gates and elevator routes.
What to watch next
Interior campus streets begin shutting down at 5:00 a.m. Saturday, and all Tiger Stadium gates open at 9:00 a.m.
