2 LOUISIANA TECH BULLDOGS MEDIA INFORMATION - COVID-19 PROCEDURES LOUISIANA TECH COVID-19 HOME FOOTBALL GAME MEDIA/PRESS BOX PROTOCOLS Louisiana Tech Athletic Communications will institute a very strict media/press box protocol for the 2020 football in order to best protect its student-athletes, coaches, support staff and administration, as well as the fan base and the media covering the Bull- dogs.

Louisiana Tech will reduce its press box seating this year to adhere to social distancing guidelines, thus, credential requests will be approved on a priority basis to those outlets who cover the Bulldogs regularly. Media outlets will also be limited to the number of credentials that are approved.

Louisiana Tech in conjunction Conference USA will use the following mandated guidelines for credentialing media members. Please note: these aren’t suggested practices. These are policies.

• Photographers will be limited to team (home and visitor) and selected media outlets. LA Tech will provide images for media outlets in need of game photos. • Per C-USA mandate, on-field photographers and videographers will be limited to a maximum ofone (1) credential per media outlet. • Per C-USA mandate, photographers and videographers will not be permitted to move behind the benches and will be required to stay in the north end zone of Joe Aillet Stadium at all times. • Per C-USA mandate, all media (on-field and in press box) are required to wear masks at all times. • Per C-USA mandate, field access will be restricted to working media with a purpose on the field (TV, photographers).
