How big is the LSU student section?
It is WAY bigger than the 8500 average that shows up. I think in the past it has been as high as 15,000 but is now 14,600. The student section typically starts off a little more than half full and by half time, many of them have departed. They stay long enough to check in on Facebook, take a few selfies, then leave. By the 4th quarter of any game not involving Alabama, it is a ghost town.

College students have partied and drank since the advent of college. It's nothing new. What is new is this entire party culture that exist now in young people. This constant need to be somewhere doing something.
I encounter all the time people who go to a party and then spend that entire party on their phones trying to find something better. If they do, they go to that and the cycle repeats. With social media, people seem obsessed with always having that "best moment of your life" moment every single second.
Many kids are probably out once they can't even get a data signal. Many more are probably at the game simply because that's where everyone else says it's the place to be. If they find something "better" they're out.
To me, it's stupid, but it's apart of the college culture lately. Everyone is obsessed with the idea of having an amazing time rather then actually having one
