Only one couple in our group had to cancel. Made the drive to Houston and flew in yesterday. My buddies flight was completely full of LSU fans flying out of Houston too.

Time to get rowdy

Yes. Five of us were supposed to go. We are law enforcement from St. Charles Parish.

My family of 4 was going. We canceled on Wednesday. No power and priorities at home made it an easy decision. Was able to get refunds/credits on flights and hotel rooms so not really out anything but tickets. Was very disappointed that we had to cancel but that’s life sometimes.

I’m not a child so I didn’t drive my family 5 hours to another airport because I GoTtA sEe MuH tIgAhS.

We had 4 of us going. Was to arrive Thursday and do Disneyland, game and NAPA. Ida forced us to cancel as our home was damaged during the storm. We cancelled Monday and it was a gut wrenching call to make. Along with flights being cancelled and having to file claims on our home, we felt we just could not spend the 12 days dedicated to our vacation in California. This one hurts alot bc we have been planning this trip for 6 months.

I’m here. You can hardly look any direction without seeing an LSU fan.

I had to drive to Dallas the day before (for a canceled New Orleans flight) the flight with no warning (until I found out same day) and we still made it and was glad to do it would do it all over again the same way.

I’m in LA. Flew in from DFW. About 10 LSU fans on the plane.

But my planned travel buddy from Nola won’t be making it after Ida, so I have an extra ticket.

It’s in a great location — Section 21, shaded side, looking right into the mountains, and has a seat back. Bonus is that you’ll be sitting next to me, so please be a Victoria Secret model.

I’m serious. I don’t want to give the ticket because it was expensive, but for you guys I won’t ask the list price.

Single ticket. Shaded side. Seat back. Geaux Tigers!

According to LSU we bought 12,000 tickets from UCLA and expect 20,000 total.

I would expect a slight few couldn't make the trip because of ida.

I hope we take over like uga did in south bend in 2017.

I live in SF Bay Area and friends with season tickets to Giants baseball asked me why there were so many people in LSU gear at game last night. What a great trip for some - get to see baseball game at height of pennant race in an iconic venue and then on to the Rose Bowl to watch the tigers. Some people planned very well and I hate the idea of the storm depriving others of the opportunity (not to mention the heartaches of the storm).

We are no longer going, but are sending two tigers in our place.

Would have had no issue flying, but I am supporting our company's recover efforts.
