If you want people showing up the rest of the year and renewing for this rebuild it's time for some serious changes.

I for one am ready to put one years worth of tickets/concessions/parking into a nice outdoor setup at home and not burn 10 hours coming out of NOLA.

Game day parking cost is too high

Concessions are too high (refillable large was a good start)

TV's from 1992 in the concourses so I can't even see the game while in the 15 minute concession line

No contraflow plan that gets traffic to the interstate

Piped in crap music


I hope the administration takes a hard look at what the fan base has been willing to overlook while winning. The current practices are not sustainable.

Win or lose, I gave up my tickets years ago. It came down to pride and realizing what I was paying to watch football vs the cost to throw a party at my house.

LSU costs to go to a game have been out of control too long and it's become more and more inconvenient to attend a game.

I've had season tickets since I was a freshman at LSU. I'm 49 now. Dropped my tix two years ago because I'm a lazy count and going to games seem like a hassle now.

I agree with you.

It was actually touch and go last spring but I decided to hang on. Really regretting that now.

I wonder if there will be a lot of unsold season tickets should Alleva and O stay?

Agree 100%

Cost is outrageous

Rv pass is high. Way to high

Tickets in the south lower shouldn't be 80 a ticket. Way to high.

Concessions are beyond outrageous.

Traffic? No ideas stay in the rv

I brought my two boys and some friends this weekend. I no shite spent 500 this weekend only to leave in the second quarter getting beat by troy.

Not paying that to get beat by troy and look like shite every game

We're gluttons for punishment -- I'm hoping to relocate next year. We can't suck forever!

The music seems to kill the vibe you're in a football game.

For every fool who says the players like it, please explain how college kids enjoy bursts of stale yesterday overplayed hits. Might as well blast the Macarena, it all sucks.

Doesn't sound like relocating will be a problem, assuming you can pay.

Yeah, I really detest the piped-in music. First off, the music selection sucks.

Second, it takes the band out of the mix, which is dumb. Why have the band at all if you're going to play crap music?

So you are suggesting that LSU ends the decades long Fan Rape that everyone said over that time was absolutely necessary to have a top notch program?

The music is targeted to younger people (the ones who usually don't have enough to support a program). It was really bad for the Syracuse game. With the students leaving earlier each game, quit playing all that crappy music.

Wife and I have started doing this, and it’s much more fun, affordable, and easier.

Lost in all this is the fact that millennials will not even remotely fill up that stadium 10 years from now when all the Gen Xers are staying home . They have WAY too many entertainment options considering the expense. The stadium experience only applies when you have a great on the field product. And only if you " bonded" emotionally in earlier years . Every year they diddle they lose!people in the seats down the road .

Nope. And you can't get cell signal even when it's half full. They aren't going to deal with that.
