LSU will set up a dozen sites outside Tiger Stadium on Saturday to check its football fans’ vaccination status in an effort to speed entry into the arena for its game against McNeese State.
Last month, the university announced it would require that fans attending games this season either be vaccinated or be able to show proof of a recent infection or a recent negative test.
On Saturday, fans can show their vaccine cards or test status between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. at any of 12 locations around campus and receive a wristband that will indicate to ticket-takers at marked gates that one is safe to enter the 102,000-seat stadium. The move is expected to reduce lines at the gates.
The school will also have mobile teams available across campus to verify proof of vaccination or a negative test dated within 72 hours of kickoff.
At any site, guests can show an original COVID-19 vaccination card; a photo or photocopy of a COVID- 19 vaccination card; or a digital proof of vaccination, including LA Wallet or another government sanctioned mobile app.
Unvaccinated guests can provide digital or hard copy proof of a timely negative test.
