KNOW BEFORE YOU GEAUX: Garth Brooks Concert

The Garth Brooks Tour and LSU Athletics are encouraging guests attending the April 30th concert in Tiger Stadium to plan ahead, arrive early, and expect delays.

With a sell-out crowd for Saturday’s historic concert and multiple on-campus events scheduled throughout the day – including home contests for baseball, softball, and track and field – LSU Athletics officials anticipate heavy traffic on and around campus all day.

The best way to navigate campus throughout Saturday will be to utilize the Waze app, which will provide real-time updates for the best routes to parking lots.

Here are some other important notes to consider before attending Saturday’s show:
