why? because they're poor? because they made plans? because they were never this dedicated to begin with?

I don't see what the huge deal is for most BR folks. I get huge plans like hunting/weddings but not others.

Don't most people in BR at least have watch parties and cook for friends/family and watch the game on TV anyway? Those people should be going tomorrow. I'm 2 hours from BR now and I got my tickets last night.

$75 to pick your seats to see the LF and the Tigers? Free parking? Why do so many think this is to much? Maybe we just need to realize our fan base isn't that hard core. You've seen it for years with vacant seats, halftime clear outs, etc.

Baton Rouge and LSU have gotten heaps upon heaps of praise in the national media for how this has been handled.


And what happens when the camera pans over our empty stadium?

You act like its impossible for usc to decide to lower ticket prices


They don't want to. What is so hard to understand there. USCe does not want us to sell 90,000 tickets for this.

90,000 x $20 = $1.8 mil
45,000 x $45 = $2.05 mil

What do you think USCe prefers?

At half-time put T-bob at mid-field with a mick and let him finally explain what happened before the game on 1/9/12.

Honest question, and I'm sure it's been brought up, but they did this all for South Carolina, but couldn't front a hotel room and bus for the team LSU cancelled on the first game of the year due to lightning?

Bama fans would have mortgaged their trailers a 2nd time so they would attend a 5th SEC home game if they were on the receiving end of an extra game.

not typically one to bash on Joe for nothing, but he probably should shut the frick up on this one.

Everyone wanted it in BR and they could not get butts in the seats. Sad.

Alleva said earlier this week that the primary reason to have it in BR was so that both teams didn't have to travel

Hell he only estimated 50k and it looks like he might be exactly right come game time.
