With the start of LSU’s 2021 football season less than a month away, the Tigers are preparing for a bounce back season after a crazy 2020. Director of Strategic Media for LSU Athletics Cody Worsham says despite the rise in COVID cases, the school is preparing for 100 percent capacity in Tiger Stadium.

“If the Department of Health, or the Governor’s Office, or the CDC issues some directives that requires us to change plans we’ll be able to do that just like we did last year but as of right now all of our conversations are based on the premise that we’re going to be at 100 percent.”
While LSU should see a packed house for football games, Worsham says the school will still obey any protocols in order to keep fans safe.
“The most important thing is to keep our fans and our student-athletes as safe as possible and to make sure that while they’re at Tiger Stadium they’re safe and taken care of and that they have a good experience while they’re at the gave and have a good experience after they leave.”
The LSU football team was impacted by COVID-19 numerous times last football season and Worsham says the program has done a great job of getting players and coaches vaccinated.
“The great news about of football team is that we’re very, very close to 100 percent vaccination rate among our football players and are working really hard to get to 100 as soon as we can and we also have all our coaches and staff are at 100 percent already.”
