So why is the stadium only full for one game a year? I go to all of the home games, and empty seats are everywhere, including the SEC games. The Bama game was the exception.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but as long as there is a demand to buy tickets, they should continue to expand to meet that demand. There will always be empty seats... but that shouldn't hold back expansion.

Because the OT ballers have better entertainment options like condos in Aspen, yachts, villas in Tuscany, deluxe outfitted tailgates with 70" plasmas/LEDs, full bars and dancing girls.

Why else?

Only poor people are truly entertained in TS; you know the ones that get there early, cheer their asses off, and then don't leave till the clock reads 00:00. And the poors are being squeezed out by the ballin ticket prices, exclusive parking, and every other feature installed since 2000.

Welcome to the future.

My guess is that season tix will sell out, but attendance (has been documented elsewhere IE humans in seats vs ticket sales) will continue on a similar downward trend, as long as the TAF and LSU sees fit to raise prices, and as long as the economy continues to suck and wages stagnate.

IMHO.

YMMV.
