Not Allowed
Source: WBRZ News, reporting the joint LSU Police/FAA gameday drone-ban announcement

Drones and other unmanned aircraft are banned in the airspace over and around Tiger Stadium from one hour before kickoff until one hour after the game ends, enforced via an FAA temporary flight restriction (a standard federal rule for NCAA Division I games at stadiums seating 30,000+) plus Louisiana state law; violators face fines up to $4,000, up to two years imprisonment, and seizure of the drone.
