LSU to allow full stadiums, removes mask mandate for outdoor sporting events

LSU is doing away with attendance limitations and its mask mandate for all outdoor athletic activities, the school announced on Wednesday.

The move to 100% capacity is effective immediately with the first outdoor event coming on Friday when the baseball team hosts Arkansas for the beginning of a three-game series.

Barring a change in policy between now and the fall, that means LSU's Tiger Stadium could seat as many as 102,321 patrons during home football games.

Normal tailgating activities on campus were also cleared to resume on Wednesday.

This comes a day after Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards announced the end of the statewide mask mandate and crowd limitations on outdoor events.
