Thoughts on game attendance

I know I know another attendance thread. Not particularly what I am getting at, more of a suggestion.
Recently attended a TCU game when I was in Dallas and took a few observations that I know would help attendance especially in the student section. It was in the low 90's at game time.
-At every section in the stadium they had stations with gatorade coolers filled with ice cold water. They allowed you to fill any bottle you had with ice cold water at any point in the game for FREE.
-At these stations they also handed out ice cold rags from ice chests for you to keep and put around your neck...also for FREE.
Kept me at the game way longer than I would have normally stayed being they were playing Southeastern and it was hot as shite. The whole alcohol question is another thing but I think this would change a few thousand fans mind on a hot day game to stay with these ammenities. How much can tap water and disposable rags cost.

Thanks! Makes a lot of sense.

We were wishing LSU had sprinklers installed at the top of the east upper deck Saturday to spray us all down. That would have been awesome.

An overhang would be pretty legit.

Exactly.
$5.50 for a liter of water. Not like the stuff will go bad if they don't sell it. Just stupid to fleece its own for a few bucks. I purchased 5 liters this weekend, 3 for me and two for my son. Forget booze, I think I will sneak in water.
I know it takes money to make money and LSU is in this "arms race" for facilities, but overcharging for the basics is lame.
One fan in the seat with some moderately prices concessions will make LSU more dollars than a empty seat.
