Stadium is full of Corporate Snowflake Newbies and Wine & Cheesers now that could care less about LSU and LSU football.

Gotta beat that traffic. We can't be inconvenienced in any way. Don't need to watch TGBFTL either. We outta here!


I love how this is said with such a negative connotation. Without the money from these folks, LSU is left behind in the CFB arms race. It's a necessary evil.

Yes, people in 1988 were just that much more into it than the old geezers today.

does the OP realize that the Earthquake game is as much famous for the last second drama as for the actual shake? I'm sure the earth shook many other times in Tiger Stadium, but that game gets all the credit.

I was there and in Section 207. Stadium looked full enough, but with the sun and booze intake, maybe I was off.

Was it really "empty" by any account?

The stadium was much louder in 1988 despite the lower capacity. The fans and students were much more rabid. That is my expert opinion.


Agree. This was before LSU priced out the rabid fans. Then again, pricing them out has led to the greatest run in LSU football history over the last 16 years. Tiger Stadium is a shadow of its former self. It will never be the same as it once was. LSU football, on the other hand, continues its greatest run ever.

The 1988 game is the only game we have objective proof of this happening.

This bothers me. Millennial girls are fat because "fat shaming is bad" and now we have dangerously high obesity.



Except millenials are the least fat generation. Keep blaming millenials for the failures of your own generation.
