They'll make money off people who do come to tailgate.

I do not see how LSU makes money from people tailgating – especially those that do not have tickets for the game. We have a reserved spot across from the south end zone. If we arrive 4 hours or 10 minutes before the game, or do not make the game, LSU has the fees that we already paid for that game. The only “cost” to LSU is if we liter while tailgating.
Also:
1. I have yet to see anyone tailgating walk over to the stadium to buy drinks. A major part of tailgating is having everything you need when you set up.
2. People who want to buy t-shirts, etc. usually do so before they enter the stadium.
3. LSU has a tremendous expense cleaning up after the tailgaters. Joe Aleva addressed this in his letter regarding the parking fees.
