A new LSU policy will ban opposing marching bands from performing during halftime at Tiger Stadium starting this year, according to The Advocate.
“It’s a safety issue,” spokesman Michael Bonnette told The Advocate. “We don’t have room down there for both bands. In order for bands to perform at half, they’ve got to come down to the field before the first half ends. That’s a lot of people on the sideline.”
Alabama’s Million Dollar Band is also adjusting their season travel plans, according to The Advocate, and plans to send a pep band to Baton Rouge due to the new policy.
