re: this is on us as fans as well

I don't think anyplace is special anymore, because it is all about the money. The band gets moved to provide more tickets to corporate types who might or might not go to the games. Rate hikes, paraking charges,surcharges, etc. are getting ridiculous. Hell, I don't even get any priority points for being an alumnus. This corporate culture has found a home with our players also with the high number of early entrees to the NFL. I will say this that most of the fans in the upper east where I sit have some connection to LSU and have near heart attacks during the games. We don't get loaded, we don't treat visitors like dirt, we don't shout STTDB, etc.; there's still a lot of die hard LSU fans out there with class.
