LSU to host an Omaha sendoff for baseball team on Wednesday

Fans can see the Tigers off to the College World Series at 9 a.m. CT on Wednesday.

Fans will have the opportunity to see the LSU Tigers off to the College World Series in Omaha on Wednesday morning.

As coach Jay Johnson’s team prepares for its first trip to the CWS since 2017, the school will host a sendoff for the Tigers. The sendoff is set for 9 a.m. CT and will be held near Gate 1, according to an LSU release.

Fans coming to campus for the sendoff will be permitted to park in the Hall of Fame lot, which is on the third base side of the stadium.

LSU clinched its spot in Omaha with a two-game sweep over Kentucky in the Baton Rouge Super Regional. They’ll take on Tennessee, which beat super regional host Southern Mississippi in three games, in the opener on Saturday night at 6 p.m. CT.

The Tigers are making their 19th overall appearance in Omaha and are looking to win their seventh national title (and the first since 2009).
