Some genius decided to change the entrance design AND only allowed for two ticket scanners to be used. This person didn't allow the workers to make any changes. Eventually a few workers defied the authority and opened additional access. The line was backed up the hill to the circle and this game was against ULM.

This assclown should be fired!!! There was no excuse for this at all. Your only other option is to walk around the stadium, enter from the south, walk back to the east, and then access the ramp.

The east upper deck (10,000+ seats) has been repeatedly ignored by LSU. The "sole" escalator breaks down EVERY game and often jolts everyone when it abruptly stops. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

This was by far the most embarrassing display of incompetence I've ever seen regarding game day operations.

Between old television monitors, poor concession choices, and by far the worst seat access in the stadium, the East Upper has become a neglected section.

I don't want to see ANY additions, changes, or even a light bulb replaced until somebody fixes the damn east side access!

This was the worst part. I've had 4 EU tickets for about 10 years now in the gold seats and I've never seen it like it was yesterday. We walked up about an hour before kickoff from the South and commented that there was no line this week. Turns out the freaking line was all the way up to Fieldhouse and around the circle. We get by the barricades and there was only 3 ticket scanners. There's usually a lot more.

I saw this was going to be an absolute cluster frick when I went up 2 1/2 hours before kick off. They had decided to make one narrow access point on the opposite side of the escalator that then literally snaked around completely needlessly back and forth until you'd finally get to the scanners. As I was the first person there, I glanced as if to ask if I could simply scoot through an opening nearer the scanners and be on my way...but I was told to walk through the snake. It took nearly a minute to wind back and forth to end up back where I was...and I was walking normal speed and alone.

When I got to the front I said, "Well...you guys are in for a long night, because this is gonna be a disaster."

So...you can either wait and hope LSU realizes this is an issue and fixes it, or you can get there earlier. My suggestion would be to try the later, because I would not hold out hope that they're gonna be receptive to fixing this issue as it seems like it was a brand spanking new idea meant to accomplish, well...something.
