I was there. - Seating was horribly inadequate. There were more people sitting on the concrete floors than there was seating. - You could walk through food line once, and get one plate of food. Period. For the entire 4 hours. - Once you got your food, most were forced to sit on the concrete floor and eat. - You could buy $50 tickets at the door, but it only allowed you entrance. You had to pay for food and drinks on top of that. Honestly, it was so poorly planned, I was surprised that it was sponsored by LSU.
All of this. $50/person to have a high school concession stand bbq sandwich that we had to sit on the floor to eat. Absurd stadium-level prices on beer after waiting in line for half an hour each time. Very inadequate
televisions. Never again.

It was a HUGE disappointment. And compared to the Dallas chapter Alumni tailgate at the Oregon game, night and day.

If they did the same tailgate again, with people knowing what they know now, I doubt they would get 1/4 of the people showing up. Sitting on the floor trying to eat a BBQ sandwich was miserable.

Then getting up to stand in line for a beer for a half hour? No thanks.

It was clear to me that they WAAAAAYYYYYYY oversold the tickets, with no regard for the people attending.
