Kentucky Fans Brave Rain for LSU Game Tailgating in Lexington

Rain and wind affected Lexington, Kentucky, as Wildcats fans gathered for tailgating before the sold-out LSU game at Kroger Field. Supporters attended despite weather concerns linked to Hurricane Isaias and preparation warnings from Kentucky athletics.

According to WKYT, Kentucky athletics advised fans earlier in the week to monitor conditions, prepare for rain, dress appropriately and secure belongings during tailgating activities.

The university also canceled its planned halftime drone show because of the weather and said the event will be rescheduled for a future home game.

"Rain or shine, we’re coming to the Cats game. Cats are going to win every single time." said Hayden Simon, Kentucky fan.

Simon and fellow seniors Oliver Guthier and Alex Riley attended the tailgate despite the conditions. The group said tailgating at Kroger Field had been a tradition since their freshman year, even though they do not always enter the stadium for games.

"We still came," said Oliver Guthier and Alex Riley, seniors.

The seniors continued to attend the event despite the rain and wind affecting activities around the stadium.

"It doesn’t matter." said Oliver Guthier and Alex Riley, seniors.

The group also shared its prediction for the matchup before the game against LSU.

"LSU is going down," said Oliver Guthier and Alex Riley, seniors.

LSU supporters also gathered in Lexington before the game, joining Kentucky fans at tailgating activities ahead of the matchup.
