re: Yes, people noticed the sparse crowd

I sat in 303 row 23 so I know my section was on TV quite a bit. Most everyone around me stayed uetil the very end

ETA: I was in the sun the whole time and I stayed

It is shameful that our fans can't be more supportive. We are 5 and 2 w wins over two ranked teams the last two weeks. We are Not the fans we should to our players. Go to the game. Stay until the end.

Go sit your happy arse on the east bowl. Lets see how long you last.
Blame the assholes that schedule a Day game in 90+ degrees.
There is a good reason LSU traditional plays night games.

Lack of people there is something to be expected. The ones that pay for season tickets are there for entertainment. Pure and simple. If someone is not entertained, they change the channel (aka leave the game). It has to be expected. You're down 20-0. 23-7, and it's hot as hell, you just wont stick around. I had my 8 year old step daughter at the game and I was very close to leaving. We stuck it out and we were able to witness a hell of a game. LSU players just have to realize that we're there to watch a game. That's all, a game. If they come out flat for 2 quarters, they should not expect many people to stay and cheer.

Whenever I got to go, I stay until the end....
but why should others do as I do ?

It is their money and they may have different obligations and concerns ..
and in this case .. the heat was also a factor.
... with children and older people as well.

There were a bunch of empty seats because half the people were in the concourses under the seats in the shade.

This is something I noticed. Lots of people just wanted out of the sun. It was brutal out there.

People were hopping in the coolers it was so damn hot. It is dangerous for young ones and old people.

And you need to read my other posts...if you can manage it. I'm from the gulf coast, and an LSU alum. I've been through hot day games at Tiger Stadium and know how miserable it can be. Just 'cause I live up in yankee land now doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about. What a little boy you are......

I gaurantee there were more fans at that game Saturday than any game you went to as a student.

But hey, the ones that don't go to the games are usually the ones bitching about the crowd. How bout this, come meet me in 242 and see if your arse stays in your seat. You wouldn't have lasted an hour out there.

Yes it may have been sparse but we were freaking loud!!!!!!!!

Yes we were. That's the loudest I've heard that stadium in I don't know how long!!!

The student section had the biggest sections missing.

Breaking news: the fans that stay in the heat until the end are the loudest

I was there(only able to make a game once every two years or so) and I will say that I most certainly did not expect it to be THAT hot. Just baking in the sun was a miserable feeling.
