My perception is that fans used to go for a football game with some partying (tailgating) on the side. Now, “fans” go for a party with (part of) a football game on the side. It’s not just LSU, though.

That was the case 6-7 years ago. My tailgate would have 200 people, 60 would stay and watch the game on TV and drain a keg or two during the game.

Now with Alleva parking disaster, many of those will not come to campus now. Tailgate had to disband. Traffic has gotten much worse even with less people attending. They have found a way to screw up every facet of tailgating.

Bama would have 180K on campus now you may have 102K. Alleva killed the tailgato atmosphere.

I think the main issue is the students leaving. There’s been multiple student come in and admit that they rather go drink at the bar than be in the stadium at half time.

Why even go?

Do these not how to buy flasks? Not know how to smuggle them in?

I'm pretty sure I recall Saban stating after he arrived at bama that LSU fans were different from bama. At LSU he said it was all about tailgating.
