HEALTH & SAFETY
The Louisiana Tech Athletics department will implement a number of measures this season
to help make sure your gameday experience is as healthy and safe as possible.
CHECK-IN PROCEDURES
All working-staff members on gameday will be required to check-in by going through our mandated COVID-19 questionnaire and getting his/her temperature checked upon arrival. Once cleared, the staff member will receive a wristband which identifies that he/she has been safely cleared for work that day and can proceed with operations through the facilities. If a staff member fails the check-in protocols even after a cooling-off period, that person will be sent home and not allowed to work that day.
The following groups are required to check-in:
- Louisiana Tech Athletics Staff
- Aramark Dining Staff
- Concessions Staff
- WeStaff Event Ushers
- Law Enforcement
- Officials, Chain Crew & Ball Crew
- All Auxiliary Staff (Outside Vendors and/or Service Providers)
INGRESS OPERATIONS
Lines: All stadium and facility entrance points will have adequate line-queues to filter and control fans' path into the stadium with signage and floor decals requiring fans to maintain physical distance (6ft) while waiting in line.
Tickets: All tickets will be mobile/digital to limit the contact between event staff and the fans entering the stadium. No free entry will be allowed after halftime without a ticket in order to control capacity numbers. Patrons may only enter the side of the stadium that his/her ticketed seat is on (no crossovers).
Mobile Ticketing Instructions
Clear Bags: Clear bags will be required at Louisiana Tech athletic events for the 2020-21 academic year. This is another effort to provide expedited entrance to our facilities and help with social distancing efforts. Clear bags can be purchased through the Louisiana Tech bookstore by clicking HERE to get your Tech-branded bag today.
Masks: All fans and patrons attending the game will be required to wear a face covering into Joe Aillet Stadium on gameday as this complies with the State of Louisiana Mask Mandate. The order requires face coverings for everyone ages 8 and older except for anyone who has a medical condition that prevents the wearing of a face covering.
Elevators: Elevator lines will be queued and have floor decals requiring patrons to maintain a 6-foot distance in front of and behind the groups around them while standing in line. Only 4 people will be allowed at a time in any elevator throughout our facilities. Patrons are encouraged to use the stairs.

STADIUM CAPACITY
The capacity at Joe Aillet Stadium will be limited for the 2020 season. University and Department of Athletics leaders announced a seating capacity of 25% (or 7,140 available seats), including the allowance of 1,000 students per game. For students, tickets must be claimed through "Experience" beginning every Monday of a home game week.
Mobile Student Ticketing
Limited single game sales will be available through the Louisiana Tech Ticket Office. Fans are encouraged to make ticket purchases prior to gameday -- Monday through Friday of game week by visiting LATechSports.com or by calling (318) 257-3631. The Louisiana Tech Ticket Office will contact all box seats holders during the week of Sept. 14 to work through social distancing for seats in that section.

GAMEDAY EXPERIENCE
A number of traditional gameday experiences will be significantly changed or eliminated for this season
to provide the safest environment.
Bulldog Walk: The tradition of the Bulldog Football team walking through tailgate alley and into the stadium will be put on pause for this season.
Bulldog Village: The pregame festivities, including live bands and tailgating, within Bulldog Village will be put on hold for the 2020 season.
Tailgating: Tailgating on campus will not be permitted in 2020. Pre-game meals at Argent Pavilion for LTAC donors and Alumni Association members will also not take place for this season.
Spirit Squads: No on-field band performances will be permitted. A reduced number of cheer/dance teams will be allowed on the field, social distanced and masked.
Shuttle Service: Limited shuttle service will be provided and operate at a reduced capacity. Face coverings will be required.
RVs: To allow for the best socially-distanced option, RV's will be moved to the new White lot along Alabama Ave.

GAMEDAY PARKING
LTAC parking for the 2020 football season has been altered due to the construction of our brand new softball and soccer facilities. As you can see in the map below, the white lot has been moved to the south side of Joe Aillet Stadium off of Alabama Avenue.
Mobile Parking Passes: Tech Athletics is moving to mobile/digital parking passes. Mobile parking will be loaded onto the same application where fans can access their mobile/digital tickets. You can also print your digital parking pass off before coming to the stadium if you wish. Please have your device or digitally-printed parking pass out and ready to scan when entering your designated lot to help with flow of traffic.

CONCESSIONS/MERCHANDISING/RESTROOMS
All concessions, merchandisers and restroom lines will be queued and have floor decals requiring patrons to maintain a 6-foot distance in front of and behind the groups around them while standing in line. Face coverings will be required while standing in line and ordering from concessions and/or vendors. All restrooms will be adapted to maintain social distancing (i.e. urinals, sinks).
