He added that the medical experts will provide guidance on what to do.
LSU AD Scott Woodward tells us requiring fans to wear masks to Tiger Stadium this fall is “definitely in play,” and says they would listen to medical experts for guidance on it.

Well, mandating masks might not be great, but it’s better than nothing. Will people complain about having to wear a mask?
Sure. Will they complain more if they’re not allowed to attend LSU football games at all? Without a doubt.

At the end of the day, I think it’s fair to say college football fans are willing to sacrifice a lot in order to make sure games happen.
If we have to wear masks, then we’ll do it. Will we be happy about it? Almost certainly not, but I’d rather wear a mask at a game than be banned entirely during the pandemic.

We’ll see what the Tigers decide to do, but wearing a mask isn’t the biggest price to pay in order to have football.
