HCR 13 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

ATHLETICS: Requests that the Southeastern Conference schedule LSU football games after 6:00 p.m. in September for health and safety reasons related to the heat during day games

HCR 13 is a resolution requesting the Southeastern Conference (SEC) schedule Louisiana State University (LSU) football games after 6:00 p.m. during September. It aims to address health and safety concerns related to extreme heat, citing heat index levels above 100°F and documented heat-related incidents at a September 2024 day game. The bill directly affects LSU football scheduling and seeks to protect players, coaches, staff, and fans by moving games to cooler evening hours. The resolution urges the SEC to implement this change but does not create a legal requirement. It is a non-binding request, not a law.
