Jay Johnson covers LSU student tickets for Baton Rouge Regional

LSU baseball coach Jay Johnson is making sure the atmosphere at Alex Box Stadium will be electric for this weekend’s NCAA Baton Rouge Regional and he’s helping students pack the stands.

Johnson is covering the cost of all LSU student tickets for the regional. The move came to light Thursday when members of LSU’s student section shared an email from the athletic ticket office stating their tickets would be complimentary, thanks to the Tigers’ head coach.
