For years and years since graduating, I have always been the one to say that every single student that attends LSU should have the opportunity to attend home games before anyone else is sold one ticket. Almost every year when they shift seats and take away seats from students I talk to people about how ridiculous that is for LSU/TAF to leave the students hung out to dry again just for money.

But, after seeing the stands Saturday, don't be suprised one bit when they take more next year. 1 of the biggest 2 games we have all year, and I look up and the student section has a huge gap of empty seats in it (right of scoreboard). WTF happened? Sure I can see some empty spots for Tulane, App State etc, but if the student section isn't jammed packed for Georgia, a team in the top 10 that we play once every 5 years, then WTF?? If you don't think that LSU/TAF took notice of that, you're fooling yourself...

Those were all the people that got busted for booze. If you saw the mountain of contraband at the gate, you would believe me.

Getting cops to molest college kids is not a good policy.

Not the general student section, but thanks for playing.

There were gaps everywhere in TS, from our Dline to the suites, including every section.

no excuse, get more creative...they've up the GPA requirements for LSU since I was there. We came up with some creative shite and we were a bunch of 2.0 gpa students....you new students are some smarter mo-fo's! Make it happen!

That is the medical school section, nothing to do with normal students. I was in the undergrad section, even though I'm now in law school, and I couldn't see a free seat to be had. It was like a can of sardines in there, as it should be.

Ummm. Check again next game. Are you sure thats the student section? I think the student section was packed and they stayed longer than most of the fans.

I would think that med school and law school have the chair back seats since they are med and law students....whoever it is, just looks like shite with the big arse gap up there.

The band is the right most boundary of the student section. Didn't alarm bells go off with the neat square that it was? That was a section that was sold and no one in that entire section showed up. It is often the case right there.

Pretty sure that is a section for adjunts to LSU (like the Law school/Med school/etc). NOT the general student section.

One of the biggest problems is that a lot of students dont realize where the TRUE student section is...and in those spots people are sitting on top one another- thats all

Actually, you really didn't say that at all. You just said that the student section deserves to be cut down because they can't fill a section that turns out to be for an unrelated group.
