When will the lifting of COVID-19 protocols take place?

Just in time for the LSU Tigers game on October 16th against Florida. Here is what the press release from LSU said "Beginning Oct. 16, guests will no longer be required to provide proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test upon entrance to Tiger Stadium. Gameday testing, fast pass preverification, and all other entrance-related procedures will no longer be in place, and masks will no longer be required in outdoor locations of the stadium for guests under 12 years of age."

I have seen several of my friends sell off their season tickets because they were upset over the COVID-19 entrance protocols. I wondered if they would have to do this all season long. Luckily this is the good news we needed today.
