Never said we did, but LSU can do a better job of entertaining during those timeouts.

Caffeine is not a thirst quencher. It dehydrates.

I want to be there, and yes they ARE forcing me to sit through an asinine amount of TV timeouts.

You people who keep having the attitude "Well if you don't like it, just stay home", need to get a grip on how a business/customer relationship works.

I don't feel that anything I mentioned is unreasonable for a paying customer. If other universities who are much less financially "well off" (for lack of a better term) can keep up with amenities for the fans, LSU should be able to as well.

Prices keep rising, so naturally people expect a little more. Not to mention, if you want your stadium full, apparently what you're offering now isn't up to par. Figure it out, add what you need to add and work hard to give your customers who are paying good money for your product what they want.

There are obvious, blatant flaws with the way things are ran now. It doesn't make anyone pointing them out ungrateful or bitchy people. They are customers who want to be there but have a reasonable expectation of the experience that should be provided.

Oh please, Coke is wet, cold, and 90% water.

We are talking about two hours you had to do without water. A mistake on the part of someone, but not life threatening.

Next will be bitching over the lack of sunscreen and hand fans available in the stadium.

If everything was great, then why were there 15k no shows to a top 25 matchup against Florida?


Because people are lazy and would much rather watch the games on HD TV's and drink Alcohol at home or in the parking lot.

I wouldn't call not wanting to sit in a herd of sweaty, angry people at the gate for 45 mins trying to get in, "lazy".

And the alcohol problem is easily solved. Start selling alcohol. Although I'll be honest, I'm not sure how much of a good idea that would be. Customer's want it, but at what point would MORE intoxicated people harm the experience of other fans? Could go either way.

Hey, you couldn't get what you wanted. We get it.

You went to an outdoor event on a humid, warm day with 90,000 other people and you got hot, had to wait in lines, sit unentertained during long TV time outs, and you couldn't get the type of drink you wanted.

We all feel your pain and understand how hard it was on you personally to endure such hardships.

Are you so dense that you don't realize what kind of danger was present for some folks due to not having water. I'm a young buck, so the water didn't bother me at all, but do you ever take into account some of the younger and older folks in the crowd? Good grief, I'm not sure why some of yall take such offense to giving LSU some constructive criticism. Hell I'm sure some of you feel we should just go back to how things were at the Roman Colosseum.....and if people don't like it tough...we'll show them. Every dollar brought in will be pure profit.

You sound more like an old fart.

I sat next to a couple in their 70ies and they never complained once about anything.

You should try doing the same, you young buck.

Thank you for attending the UF game.

Looks like LSU may have gotten the message!
Nothing talks like empty seats.
I've never been thanked before in 30 years of owning tickets.

Been sitting in the same seats for 18 years. Arrived at the gate same time we always do. It was the worst experience in all those years trying to get in the gate.

Big Gee, what was the gate issue?

Slow scanners or not enough?

I literally ran into the bathroom before kick-off, and they were already out of paper towels!

Running out of water bottles at the concession?! Maybe this is something to complain about...maybe.


We used to be deaf valley because of the stadium full screaming fans, now we are Death Valley from the heat and lack of water!

What a bunch of crybabies! You're only talking about 3 hours or so. You're living in South Louisiana for gods sake! If you can't handle a little sun have your daddy by you better seats next season!

As for water I bought 3 bottles at the stand about half way thru the 4th near section our section (617). Maybe next time you should walk down the hall a little ways to the next stand. Good grief!

It sounds to me like there's more bothering some of you than just a couple inconveniences at the game. Maybe some need to try not living your life so angry and not so accustomed to everything being about 'Me'!
