What a challenge TAF/LSU has in front of them.

The campus/stadium experience is not good at all.

Outside of our poor performance on the field, the experience was certainly not worth the TAF/ticket prices.

You really just have to look at it as a donation. If I had it to do over again, I would probably pass on tix this year. It is rather depressing. It's not terrible and with so few people, everything is easy. But there is no juice at all to the experience. And this is not sour grapes on the game, just an honest assessment of campus and stadium atmosphere. Of course, that should all improve if restrictions are relaxed.

It was terrible. For so few people, there were still too long of lines at the concession stand I went to.

And the stadium itself was depressing. Nobody in that place is not a good look.

I was ok with everything except how they set up concessions. All the talk about social distancing and the only place I was surround by people was the line at the concession stand. It makes no sense to have only a handful of them open.

The game itself was fine. No one wore a mask at their seat (thank God, it was hot). They should up the attendance to at least 40%, it wouldn’t be an issue at all.

Tailgating was dead and they need to update their stance to allow formal tailgating with family/close friends but limit it to maybe 12-15 ppl per tailgate. There’s nothing dangerous about sitting outside in the sun with your friends/family.

No traffic at the end of the game was about the only plus. To be hones not having the fans in the stands didn't bother me but not having pregame with the band on the field was a bummer.

Contrary to what I've seen reported, everyone one had on masks and most of them took them off once in their seats. My seats were moved from the bottom of the NE upper bowl to the 9th row of sec 240 and it's the closest I have been to the field. I was sitting among the cut-outs. It was bizarre and other worldly.

I just took the survey. People would have been a lot happier had we won the damned football game. Otherwise, my suggestion was to let more people in and to allow tailgating. I am not blaming LSU and TAF because a lot of things are beyond their control. They are taking their marching orders from the state. I wish the restrictions could be loosened, but a lot of other teams, both college and pro, have it worse than we do.

It was as a bad experience. No beer but staff were nice. No energy and campus was empty.

Were police out and about walking around to ensure no tailgating?

The RV lot was like being in Hitler Germany. We were sitting in the RV minding our own business only to get a knock on the door that our awning that was shading the side of the RV had to go up and that my kid's could not have their toys outside. We understand no tailgating, but what took place Saturday was unreasonable.

My experience wasn’t bad. Getting to and from the stadium as well as parking for free off campus was a breeze. No tailgating is dumb, but I just watched games at home (live in BR) and got to the game about 30 minutes before kickoff. Concessions lines were long, but having vending machines available with no lines was awesome. No issues with bathrooms. No issues scanning tickets off of phone like I expected. No one wore masks in their seats. Stadium was mostly dead, but actually had some energy in it a few times before bad play by the team inevitably would let the air out of the balloon.

For the prices most people payed, there’s no way they’re getting their money’s worth. Atmosphere wise, it was similar to the ULL game I went to last year, which was enjoyable, but I only paid $20 for that game. At $90 face value, Tiger Fans are getting ripped off. That experience isn’t anywhere near worth what people are paying.

Exactly why I pushed to next year. And if we’re still doing this shite again next season, I’ll push it again.

I’m not spending another dollar until the stands are full and the beer is flowing.
