re: Rabalais: Empty seats reflect poorly on LSU

As much as people want to blame the fans, that's not the case, it's LSU athletic administration.

As stadiums started going to paid parking the fans started to dwindle around the country. This has been the case at many SEC and ACC schools.

LSU tries to make it as difficult as possible trying to get to the stadium with poor traffic planning.

Poor planning with line management trying to enter the stadium. Searched for alcohol and heaven forbid you bring in an apple or peanut butter crackers.

Once you get into the stadium you show up to concession stand to find out they are sold out of water. Many stadiums have refill stations, why doesn't TS?

Once seated you ponder at a large video replay board and see it covered in 2/3 ads. LSU did go out and get a very nice sound system so that helps.

Need to use the restroom you see broken down urinals and outdated piss troughs. When will LSU do a complete restoration of all the bathrooms?

Game ends, you are happy now time to get in the car and drive home but you are stuck in horrendous traffic thanks to poor planning by LSU.

Various aspects such as these are adding up and fans would rather stay home than attend the game.

LSU doesn't look so good when traveling to other SEC stadiums or other venues.
