Tent location is sent the day of your event. And since pre-event communication of your tailgate tent location is limited to hours before. Here are some ways that you can help guests easily navigate the LSU campus and find your tent.

Framing your LSU tailgate tent in balloons is a great way to help your guest find your tailgate from a distance, creates a clear entrance point, it’s more recognizable, and it adds to the fun and excitement before arrival.

Create an Atmosphere Inside Your Tent

While a tent provides a space for your tailgate, it’s the details inside are what make it feel like an experience.

Interior décor helps bring warmth, energy, and personality into the space while creating a stronger connection between LSU game day and your organization.

From the tables to the ceiling, every layer can reinforce the energy of game day—making your tent feel warmer and more inviting.

Balloon Columns

Balloon columns do more than decorate a space. They help organize it, guide the eye, and make important areas feel intentional. They add height where you need attention and structure where the space needs definition.

Placed at the entrance, they can help guests recognize the correct tent and create a more polished first impression. Inside the space, they can frame marquee letters, highlight a stage or television area, define a photo opportunity, or visually separate different parts of the tent.

Columns can also carry both LSU spirit and company branding through coordinated colors, custom logos, or branded toppers.

Table Centerpieces

Even simple tables can feel intentional when the design carries the company colors, LSU spirit, or event message throughout the tent.

Centerpieces help connect the room visually, adding color and energy at eye level without taking attention away from the people gathered around the table. They also help a large tent feel cohesive rather than sparse.

Ceiling Fringe and Overhead Decor

The ceiling is often the largest unused surface inside a tent. Fringe, suspended accents, and overhead décor draw the eye upward and instantly make the space feel more immersive.

Ceiling décor adds movement and energy while preserving valuable floor and table space. When guests step inside, overhead details help signal that they have entered a complete experience—not simply walked beneath a canopy.

Not to mention. Ceiling decor helps create great photo opportunities from multiple angles.

Marquee Letters

Make your company name part of the atmosphere, and not just part of the signage.

Marquee Letters bring instant personality to the party. They make the space feel more intentional, and create a great company branding opportunity that feels natural.

Balancing LSU Spirit with Your Company’s Identity

LSU spirit brings the energy. Your company branding makes the experience distinctly yours.

While purple and gold may set the tone for game day, your company’s identity can still have a clear place in the experience.

Custom logo balloons, branded vinyl, company colors, and coordinated signage can be woven into the design without making the tailgate feel overly promotional. The goal is not to place a logo on every surface. It is to create a few intentional brand moments that feel polished, natural, and easy for guests to recognize.

Logo balloons can be incorporated into columns, garlands, centerpieces, or photo opportunities, helping your company’s presence feel like part of the atmosphere rather than an advertisement added at the last minute.

Guests may not consciously notice every individual detail, but they feel the difference between a tent that was simply set up and an environment that was thoughtfully designed.

By creating an immersive game-day atmosphere with little details, you are quietly communicating how much your guests matter.
