LSU Student Section is Pathetic

quote:

Every time I hear a national sportswriter cite Tiger Stadium as one of the hardest places to play, I scoff a little bit. Every time I hear an LSU fan or student say it, it takes everything I have not to tell them that’s bullshite.

But it is. Unless the opposing team is Alabama or Ole Miss, LSU’s student section, the heart of Death Valley, is a joke. Are they loud against other teams? Yeah, for a quarter, and then it’s time to go to Fred’s.

100% true. But in reality if our team takes care of business thats all we should need it to be loud for

Why even post this? You aren't going to shame the students into staying longer. It boggles my mind how many leaving early threads are posted here.

Improvements to the experience are the only things that will keep people in the stadium longer.

Pathetic that these young fans are doing this to Lsu's rep. The AD and president should do something

Limit the seats and take away the Greek seats if they are the ones leaving

I can't tell you the things I'd do just to have the chance to go to the games like these kids. Really infuriates me.

Has LSU talked about limiting the amount of student tickets? Instead of 14,600 maybe 11,000?

But they need to go to a system like South Carolinas where they don't get credit for attending the game till 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter.

For years I've hated the Greek section ever since I attended every home game as a student. Those self entitled kids were never into the game or there to support the team. They treated it like a social event to hook up with girls or get drunk. Take away half of their seats and make the rest of them first come first serve.

It's been 6-7 years since I've sat in the student section. Now I just stare from afar and wonder what the hell is wrong with them. They get just a handful of Saturdays for all of their collegiate career to sit there, and they blow it to go drink more at the bar.

Fred’s is still going to be there after the game, I promise. And it’s going to be there for the other six nights of the week as well. You only get so many home games as a student, do you really want to spend most of it at a bar that you could otherwise bless your presence literally any other day of the week?

The problem is that the stands are thinned out throughout the stadium now. The expansion lead to a surplus of unused tickets for most games.
