Fall in Louisiana means one thing — football season! Whether you’re tailgating at Tiger Stadium or cheering on the Saints in the Superdome, game days bring energy, excitement, and big crowds. At Fisher Injury Lawyers, we want every fan to enjoy the season safely — and these tips can help you do just that.
Plan Ahead for a Safe Ride
Game day traffic and parking can be hectic, so plan ahead. Designate a sober driver before the tailgate starts, or schedule a rideshare to avoid driving after drinking. Even short trips can turn risky, and police patrols increase around LSU and Saints events. Making smart choices early keeps everyone safer.
Stay Alert in Parking Lots
Tailgating areas fill quickly with cars, tents, and pedestrians. Drive slowly, avoid distractions, and keep your eyes on your surroundings. When walking, stay alert for vehicles backing out or weaving through tight spaces. A few extra seconds of caution can prevent serious injuries.
Grill & Fire Safety
Barbecue and football go hand in hand — but so do flames and potential hazards. Always set up your grill away from vehicles and flammable items. Keep propane tanks and lighter fluid at a safe distance, and never leave an open flame unattended. Before you leave, double-check that coals and embers are completely out.
Hydrate & Handle the Heat
Even late in the season, Louisiana’s heat can sneak up on you. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, use sunscreen, and take breaks in the shade. If you feel dizzy or nauseous, step away from the crowd and cool down. A little preparation keeps the day enjoyable from kickoff to the final whistle.
Celebrate Responsibly
Rivalries make football fun, but safety should always come first. Respect other fans, follow stadium and campus rules, and look out for friends. If you notice unsafe behavior or someone who needs help, find security or call for assistance. Good sportsmanship extends beyond the field.
