We had large tailgate by Coates Hall for over 20 years that I gave up 3 years ago. Just too much time, money and effort to be there on Friday evenings before big games or Saturday 6 am because if you have 200 people showing up you have to get the "green space" on first come, first serve" basis rega...
We use direct TV and have a separate dish on a tripod. We just get an extra box/receiver for the tailgate (6/month or 72/year) and keep it in the tailgate trailer. Have to reset it if not used within prior 30 days but simple to do. All you need to do is find someone within 150 miles of Baton Roug...
THIS!!! We lost our 15 yr. old son to cancer earlier this year. Like Sid, he was blessed to get to know the LSU football team during his fight. Jamie K. was actually a pall bearer and very good friend to our son. The Ortis family needs prayer from all of us to get through this unimaginable time ...

Good luck to Haydn in his recovery. We spent 19 months in treatment at St. Jude for my son. Words really can't describe what a wonderful place it is or the amazing people that work there. Les did many similar things for Parker, as did the entire LSU football team and administration. We are very ...
Very special family and young girl. Our family was very close to theirs as our son is also treating at St. Jude and was diagnosed around the same time as Brea. We saw them last week when we were up in Memphis for treatment. St. Jude is an amazing place and, as a beneficiary, I can promise everyon...

Parking spots are available in the garage behind Barnes and Noble. Costs is 145 (135 plus 10 handling fee)for season if you buy all 7 games in advance. Guaranteed to have spot for all games. People in our tailgate are buying these and will just walk to Coates with a rolling icechest. You can ord...

I called the ticket office. I was able to get one for the Coates lot. It was 600 for the year. He did tell me today that I could also buy one for 500 a year in Pleasant lot. I know it's also based on your priority points because he said my number was high enough to qualify me for either lot. He...

We were right across from you on the corner of Coates on the Boyd side. Going to be a lot of people that show up for first game in that area and have no clue that changes have been made....

Would love to be able to reserve an area and our group would be willing to pay for it. I just feel like they are trying to make it so difficult to have a large tailgate. A table, couple of chairs, TV and box of chicken is ok, but with tailgates our size that have grown over the years, I don't want...

Yep, and probably sold the passes to people who don't even tailgate. Going to push lots of tailgaters to parade grounds and not enough parking spots around parade grounds to accommodate....

Thanks and I agree but ticket office person told me that I couldn't park trailer in spot. I was wondering what other people in reserve spots did with trailers. Do they park them there or will campus police tow them if left unhooked to a vehicle....

Was able to get one parking pass for Coates lot. Does anyone know how trailers work in the reserved lots? Can you park your trailer in the space and park the truck elsewhere? Do you have to park a vehicle in the spot and park the trailer elsewhere, which is going to mean I have to carry all the s...

Don't know. I'm on phone with ticket office now. I have 7 family tailgate that has been setting up there for years. Have 150 to 250 people come through each week. If I can't get passes, will either shut it down or find another spot probably on the parade grounds....

Parking changes for this season

Posted by 1985 Tiger on 8/11/14 at 10:35 am
Just received season tickets and looking at gameday parking map, it looks like all the "game by game parking" around parade grounds and Tower is now reserved. We have tailgated by Coates Hall for close to 20 years and it looks like that lot is also marked as reserved now. Is this area no longer go...
Glad to hear things are going well for you. Our family will be praying for you as well atl-tiger....
Maybe she will know who you are from your description. Yes she is a keeper. 27 years and 5 kids. Thanks for the prayers. Not even your initials to give her a hint?...
Ok, Dana is going to want to know who you are. She is still a sweety. We're ya'll friends at Woodlawn or LSU?...
Athletes for some reason are very compassionate in these situations. Parker has met numerous professional athletes at St. Jude in Memphis, as well as Ole Miss baseball players, LSU women's tennis team, signed baseballs and jerseys sent by many professional ballplayers, etc. Sorry to hear of the lo...
Thanks. Grandparenthood is pretty awesome! Highly recommend it!!!...
Yep, really special of them. Unfortunately, Parker has had numerous extended stays in the hospital. He's been visited multiple times by several LSU players. They've given him shirts or other items they've earned from team for special plays, etc. He has phone numbers and gets insta grams from the...
