2005 LSU FOOTBALL OFFICIAL FAN GUIDE 1

Getting into Tiger Stadium Important Information for Tiger Fans Finish work on the renovation of Tiger Stadium will continue during the 2005 football season, so it is important for fans to be familiar with the various entry points on the west side of the stadium.

A construction zone on the west side of Tiger Stadium will again affect how fans will enter the stadium on game days. LSU will again utilize a portal system for allowing fan entrance on the west side of Tiger Stadium, but in 2005 a third entrance - Portal C - has been added on South Stadium Drive.

Lower Bowl Seating To access Gates 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the south west corner of the stadium, fans should enter on the SOUTH END of the construction zone at PORTAL B or PORTAL C.

Gate 1 Gates 2, 3 Gate 4 Lower South Upper South West Sideline End Zone seats End Zone seats seats

To access Gate 5 on the west side of Tiger Stadium, fans should enter on the NORTH END of the con- struction zone at PORTAL A.

Gate 6, 7 Gates 6, 7 Available for All Students Gate 5 users Must Enter

Upper Deck Seating (Sections 500-600) Elevators are available for fans to access the upper deck and new Stadium Club. Note the elevators on the map on page 3.

To access the west upper deck, fans may take an elevator, or they may walk up the ramp on the south- west corner of the stadium. To access either the elevators or the ramp, fans may enter on either the SOUTH END or NORTH END of the construction zone - PORTAL A, B OR C.

Stadium Club/Press Box Fans and media accessing the Stadium Club Elevator or the Press Box Elevator may enter any of the three portals A, B or C.

Thank you for your patience as we work to improve Tiger Stadium for the future.

Tailgating Guidelines

Tailgating Tailgating has become a part of all across the South, but at LSU, Tiger fans have turned it into an art form. Over two-thirds of Tiger fans tailgate for five or more hours before every game, and many begin cele- brating the great Tiger football experience more than 24 hours before the game. LSU encourages its fans to come to campus early and enjoy the great tradition of tailgating. LSU also encour- ages its fans to tailgate in a responsible manner, respectful of the campus and respectful of other Tiger fans and fans from visiting schools. Help us keep your campus clean by bagging your trash and using recycling containers. LSU's Facility Services Department distributes trash bags throughout campus on game days for your convenience. If you need more trash bags on game day, call (225) 578-3186.

2005 LSU FOOTBALL OFFICIAL FAN GUIDE 23 Postseason Ticket Information

During the course of the 2005 football season, LSU sea- son ticket holders will receive information by mail regarding the opportunity to apply for tickets to any postseason games in which the Tigers may participate. At that time, a deadline will be established for applying for tickets. Possible postseason games include the SEC Football Championship Game and a holiday . If the demand for tickets exceeds the supply available to LSU for any particular game, a priority system will be used to determine ticket distribution. Tickets for any postseason games involving LSU will be allocated first to players, coaches, LSU students and athletic department staff. Next, the Tiger Athletic Foundation receives an allocation to distribute to its membership based upon the TAF Priority Point System. For a TAF member to receive tick- ets, he/she must be a football season ticket holder. The next allocation of tickets goes to football season ticket holders who currently are not members of the Tiger Athletic Foundation. The number of ticket requests from season ticket holders will be measured against the number of requests to deter- mine if any limits must be imposed. LSU will make every effort to accommodate as many of its fans as possible. Ticket orders and seat locations are not accepted nor assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

Method of Purchasing Availability/Limitations/Priority System There is no limit on the number of tickets that may be ordered for 1 Come in person to the LSU Athletics Ticket Office the SEC Championship Game and each postseason bowl game, however, LSU is limited in the number of tickets received for those games.

Sportsmanship

Bylaw 10.4 of the Southeastern Conference Manual states the following pertaining to Sportsmanship:

Coaches and student-athletes of an SEC member institution, as well as individuals employed by or associated with that institu- tion, including alumni, fans, patrons and boosters, shall conduct themselves with hon- esty and good sportsmanship. Their behavior shall at all times reflect the high standards of honor and dignity that characterize participa- tion in the collegiate setting. For intercolle- giate athletics to promote the character development of participants, to enhance the integrity of higher education and to promote civility in society, coaches, student-athletes and all others associated with these athletics programs and events should adhere to such fundamental values as respect, fairness, civil- ity, honest and responsibility. These values should be manifest not only in athletics par- ticipation but also in the broad spectrum of activities affecting the athletics program.
