What could LSU do to keep you in the stadium longer during football games?

What could the athletic dept do to make the football games more entertaining for you in Tiger Stadium(other than the game itself - since that obviously is not enough).

Be creative - and keep it family friendly.

I don't think there is much they can do. People can leave and go drink, mess with girls, check out the other games on tv, and relax in a more comfortable environment or stay in the stadium and watch a blowout

Make it easier to get out of the campus area so people don't have to worry about "beating traffic"

Is this directed to all the students that leave early?

Remove chairs and make everyone sit on the ice chest they get to bring in

Play better teams. Our schedule sucks: Towson, North Texas, and Idaho.

Play a more exciting brand of football. Winning with all defense and no offense is just so frustrating. Combine frustration with alcohol and I'm so pissed by the 4th quarter that I just don't care to watch anymore.

Better food, more tvs, less advertising and nicer bathrooms.

Somehow change the current fan culture of believing that only 1 game all year matters, and anything outside of a NC and/or beating Bama isn't worth worrying about?

Honestly I think tv and ticket prices are the issue. Every game is on tv so the average fan who loves the Tigers can stay home now while the people who don't care as much about the game and can afford to go are only there to socialize.

Oh and get better food. It's horrible.

More seat room, cellular service so I can check the scores of other games, a smoking section, and I think asking to serve beer is too much. It will never happen.

Well, I do stay to the end almost always, although I will occasionally leave sometime in the final 5 minutes of a complete blowout game. However, in general, scheduling better games would be a plus. These kickoff games we take part in most years are fine and all, but I'd prefer if we were playing a good OOC team like TCU in Tiger Stadium like originally planned, and I'd rather travel to see them in their home stadium rather than Jerry World.

Also though, while I hate seeing people leave in the 3rd quarter when I know that I have friends that have loved to have had their tickets, I hate it when people act like this is a problem specific to LSU. We're far better about this than most places. Alabama never fills their student section to begin with and lots of them leave early. Texas A&M students leave early too, although admittedly their student section is gigantic and that may be a part of it.

I have never left a game early, nor have my friends. We tailgate from 7am til gametime and have the time of our lives at the game.

The gameday experience from start to finish is unbeatable.

Change nothing for us. We're there for LSU first and everything else second.

The reason many fans leave early has nothing to do with anything LSU can control.
