Mississippi State fans may have to change their tailgating plans for Saturday’s game in Starkville because of a burn ban.
The state announced that the burn ban will be enforced at Mississippi State’s home game against Samford.
That means that MSU fans planning to tailgate outside Davis Wade Stadium won’t be able to use a wide variety of cooking methods. Mississippi State police chief Vance Rice said the restriction applies to “charcoal, wood pellets, or other fire-cooking methods that produce coals and embers.” Gas grills are permitted when used safely.
“MSUPD has been asked by the Starkville Fire Department to diligently enforce the ban, and we intend to do that,” Rice said.
