Tailgating at LSU

One of the unique American traditions which is foreign to Canadians is tailgating. While at Iowa we witnessed college tailgating but what happens at Iowa pails in what we saw at LSU. Some people claim their tailgating locations the evening before the game, others the morning before the game.

Following are some pictures of tailgating that takes place throughout the campus. The first three pictures were taken 6 hours before game time. Already people are gathering to visit and party with friends.





The above RVs are in a prime location near the stadium. Another large RV area about a half a mile from the stadium has people camping and tailgating for the weekend.

Tailgating sites are located around academic buildings. Notice the trailer by the curb...we saw a good number of such trailers that people use to store and transport their tailgating equipment.

The above two and those below are taken about 4 hours before game time and a little over a half mile from the stadium. In the one above, notice behind the man in the chair there is a flat screen TV. We saw several people having TVs used to keep track of games that were currently underway. Josh's dorm is in the right background. The last two are across the street from Josh's dorm.
