My guess is that the stage and cameras will be set up so that the stadium is visible right behind Herbstreit et al.


Yes! And people and barricades will stretch from the stage to the sidewalk.

Parking will be allowed from Nicholson ext to sidewalk and thats it.

That seems like a very strange spot, but I suppose the figured they would need a larger than normal open area.

LSU is having having a war memorial out on the parade grounds I think. Why haven't they gone back to the PMAC I liked that spot.

espn's setup is much bigger since the last time they were at the pmac. probably has a lot to do with it. plus dont they use the pmac for the sponsor tailgate. with tiger one and everything.

Could they have found a crappier location? What was wrong with them doing it at the pmac? At least there a fans over there. The damn backdrop is that freakin credit union or whatever that new building is.

I told TreeDawg I'll be taking some more pics in an hr and will email them to him. But its pretty clear now that the spot will be gone.

They havent started the barricades yet, but no cars allowed from stage to the sidewalk.

Its the Energy, coast and Environment Bldg

But the stage will be perched higher which should give a much better view of the stadium than my ground level shots

GameDay View


Nice. That is looking back directly in the trajectory of the tailgate.

Are you just screwing around over there getting all pumped up?

I think its going to be a pretty sweet setup for GameDay.

My #1 choice was Alex Box, but this was my second.

TWO WORDS

CLUSTER frick

With this GameDay setup they will be removing about 1,000 parking spots and Parade Grounds will have limited parking and tailgating too. Those factors compounded with the biggest game of the year and it says get to campus EARLY.

I would suggest setting up Friday.

I was out there 3 times already and people are setting up tents at various locations around campus.
