I'd propose modifying South Endzone expansion to incorporate tail gaiting suites with ground floor patios and second floor balconies. A wide sidewalk would encourage a level of pedestrian traffic. It would be a perfect perch to see and be seen.
Hey, I like this idea, so I am going to steal it and take credit for it when I get the AD job.

You are missing the point. You currently have your seats maxed out. You are currently 1 game behind the "dynasty" that is Alabama over the past 3 years. You can't get any more people into the games. You do however risk making a bad hire and the program backslides and then you lose potential revenue. There is no reward and significant risk to firing or threatening the HCs of the two most successful sports at the school. TS seats 92,500+, we averaged 92,600+ at the home games in 2012 and that is with a rainy Towson home game bringing the average down. You can't get more people into the stadium. The same can be said about baseball. Your fanbase is showing up. There aren't any fans refusing to go to either the football games or baseball games because of the offensive coordinator or the hitting coach.
Please understand, as a fan, I want a better hitting coach and I want a legit OC but as an AD, these are decisions that get delegated down to the HC and he is responsible for success on the field(ie. win games, compete and win championships). Reality is both Mainieri and Miles have won NCs at the school and both have won SEC championships recently.
Good post, stho381.
But you are obviously trying to explain these things to a guy who spends his days saying: "Do you want fries with that?"

Great, just what LSU needs, a wrongful death lawsuit.

Second, I'd put Les Miles on notice. If the offense isn't ranked above 75 nationally in total yards, he's fired a John Chavis will help me pick a head coach.
Good luck paying off the next5 years of his nearly 5$ contract.

the only thing I give a shite about is football, so with that in mind:
1. if you leave the game before the fourth quarter you have to scan your ticket on the way out. if you're a season ticket holder who leaves early three times in a season, your tickets will be taken away.
2. LSU football had a profit of $45 million dollars last year. all ticket prices will be cut by 25 percent.
3. a wall will be built around the field and the seats reconfigured so that the front row isn't ground level.
and one Im not sure about is where do the recruits sit during games? at bama they seem to have that front row section behind one end zone, with fricking big red chairs like recliners. we need to steal that idea and double it.

I would make a big campaign to renovate the inside dorms of Tiger Stadium after the south end zone addition is completed.

I'd probably fire Mainieri unless he got a better hitting/third base coach. He has until June to prove that the LSU letters on the jersey have nothing to do with his performance.

I wouldn't touch men's basketball. Women's would get this year as a free ride as well. No complaints about softball or volleyball. Track needs no discussion. Women's soccer is no big deal but we'd like to be more competitive. I'm sure I'm missing something. I gave you my $0.02, what's yours Mr. AD?
FIFY

Probably pump a little bit more money into track. I can't believe they let Henry walk to A&M like they did.

What if you let someone borrow your tickets? Plus, not everyone saves their ticket.
