re: OT Ballers- LSU Needs a Nightclub, Tigerland is Garbage

dude every few years they try to make a "club" and it fails...quickly

i remember rasputins!

to support this club you need young professionals to wnat to go there, which is tough in BR. also you have to get girls to see it as THE place. the sorrority-infused, private school BR population isn't really that sort of population

i've watched this battle get fought many times before

There is a huge safe neighborhood of upstanding, tax paying citizens just north of this area that's really holding it back from becoming what it could be.

I get that, but I think it's sort of a cop out. It's really not as "huge" an area as most think. With the right sort of planning/investment mindset one could buy up a whole lot of that current shitty area for pretty much peanuts comparatively speaking, and create a pretty large zone of student friendly services in a pedestrian oriented atmosphere.

BR nightlife doesn't come close to Shreveport. sorry

i yearn for the day this happens...they keep pushing developments further north so it may just be slow

if you want THE area of upper-middle class expansion in BR, that should be your target. access to downdown. LSU on the other side. interstate access multiple ways

That is it. I remember that had some crazy beer specials one night.

before i go do some work, let me just say that until BR lightens up a good bit, this kind of thing just isn't possible

and i'm not a BR hater. i don't mind BR, but that doesn't mean that i agree with the "Baton Rouge culture". i'd be fine living in it the vast majority of the time, but there would be that 10-15% that would drive me insane. this is one example of that 10-15%

It's called the break room, has golden tee, ski ball, etc. I went by last Saturday night, seemed to be a decent crowd.

I don't think it's as much of a cop out as some say. There is a lot of truth to it..
I wish people in BR could objectively step back and see the city as others see it. It has drastically changed over the last few decades and I think everyone knows the problem.

There's an elephant in the room BR, acknowledge it.

The nightclubs here are insane. The bars here are bars, and they are incredible. The line between the two is fairly clear.

Izmir, Turkey, from my limited experience thus far, has to be at least on the same level as Spain. I speak two languages, English and Southern, but apparently that doesn't matter here. This place has Beltway talent (for anyone who's been to DC) with a Bratislava price tag. I just dropped 44 TL (about $20) on a bar tab last night...granted it was mostly Efes draft and Jäger shots, but still...

Haven't been on campus since Fall 2012, and Tigerland since '03, so I don't know how far it's fallen, but surely it can't be that bad....amiright?
