Living out of state, I don't get a chance to make all the home games. But I did attend Miss St game. I frankly could not believe what I was seeing when by the middle of the 3Q the place was half full. The game was very much in the balance...nothing close to a blow out.

I will never understand the rationale from anyone for leaving that early for what we pay for a ticket.

The makeup of the crowds these days are very different then they were 10 years ago.

People were saying in another thread that LSU football games have always been a sporting AND social event and they were right. Unfortunately, the proportion of the crowd that goes to the game primarily for the social aspects has steadily in increased in the last few years and games like Miss St are the result. The other issue is that LSU fans have gotten spoiledby success. If LSU is not contending for championships, LSU fans just won't be as interested.

This is inexcusable. LSU fans have a history and tradition of supporting their team no matter what. If you leave early you suck.

That's a lie. I love when people make huge exaggerations to prove a point.

Pretty sure this is a long way from "half full":

i was floored as well .. my brother that lives in houston watching the game on TV texted me talking about how pitiful the stadium looked in the third quarter for a game still in doubt against a ranked opponent .. he said they were even talking about it on the television broadcast .. but .. once again, GFunk fricking hits the nail on the head as to what happened to Tiger Stadium ... i don't care what people say, that place has changed drastically over the last 30 years .. can you imagine what the crowds would have been like in there in the 1970s and 1980s if we had the success as a program that we have had over the last 12 years ?
