Reason for Fans Leaving the Game Early
Posted on 9/21/14 at 12:02 pm

LSU athletics is so corporatized it's disgusting. I cannot fault a single fan for leaving early.
The analogy I like to use is LSU Football is the equivalent of chain restaurants. No charm, no charisma, and bland. Sometime after 2007 this happened. I was a student from 2006-2010 these days LSU is a shell of its former self.
I don't live in Louisiana anymore so I only make one game a year generally. With the piped in music and boring style of play I leave around the start of the 4th quarter almost every time. I can have a better atmosphere outside the stadium to watch the game and not have to spend an exorbitant amount of money to watch Shitty football, hear STTDB, and such piped in classics as "Bitch I'm from Louisiana.
LSU TAF is making the right choices getting rid of GEN Richard who was a huge contributing factor to all the above problems. Until that absolutely inept AD we have leaves I don't foresee myself ever attending a game in the near future.
I know a large group of fans is okay with mediocrity but I cannot just stand by and watch this train wreck. If we played in the PAC-12 this team would be a bottom feeder.
I hate to say this but what LSU needs is Kirby Smart at HC. He will instill the discipline necessary for the team to get back to championship form. That coupled with LSU strength and conditioning entering the 21st century and hiring a new S&C coach would infinitely improve this team.

Piped in music might be the worst excuse I have ever heard.

I absolutely DETEST that garbage and yes I am from Louisiana. Hip-hop should never be played in Tiger Stadium!

I am kind of with you but you just went from complaining about the atmosphere to the HC needs. You sound upset about the loss and it's understandable. But take a deep breath. It's going To be ok.
The leaving early is gojng to happen when you have a stadium of 102k. It's just more noticeable. And with more success you have more side walk fans.
Would you rather have a stadium filled with 75k where No one leaves early?

All the more reason to throttle that crap back. When the college game atmosphere turns into nothing more than NFL lite, we're we'll lose one of the main things that makes college football so great.

I would rather LSU not hand out tickets to corporations and boosters who only have a fleeting interest in LSU. These people are fed with silver spoons and the only reason they come to the game is to act as if they wield some imaginary power over the affairs of LSU whilst laughing at us proletariat.

Your point is? LSU NEEDS these sponsors, because they are down the 8 million going to the university and the fact that LSU football gets no state tax money.

They left early because besides the last 2 min it was a blowout loss at home on a Saturday night. I still think yall have a good team and maybe this brings the, back into line

2/3 of the early departures is due to the fricked up exit traffic plan, guaranteed. They need to make the interior of campus two way between Highland, Dalrymple, and S. Stadium so if you pay to park in the interior of campus, you can get to your preferred route out. Forcing people west who want to go east costs me and others over an hour in traffic, even for shite games.

If Tiger Stadium was a restaurant, it would be a Chilli's.

Look. I hear I you and sympathize. But this is a college football arms race where you have to have financing for the latest and greatest. You want lsu to have the best and recruit the best so those sponsorships and corporate types are needed. Gotta keep up with the jones's
You don't want to be the program that is losing money.
