Going to the game is overrated

Much easier to stay home and eat/drink as you wish without a line to piss.

I rather watch the game on a big screen HD TV especially when it comes to replays and analysis.
Also you can watch multiple games and don't have to wait 3 hrs to get home.

I was a season ticket holder but I guess I grew out of going to the games.

"Grew out" of going to games?

Mighty complimentary of yourself...sounds like you got lazy.

Honestly, lots of people feel this same. Which is fine by me, this is Merica dammit.

Seriously though, with the parking the way it is, its a frustrating journey to go to a game.

This is the problem, more people are steadying to feel this way.

Spoiled fan base like you is the problem...tiger stadium of old is so often mentioned because we were usually underdogs, fans felt they were more part of the outcome of the game if they left without their voice.

Now we are always favored to win, people would rather get drunk outside, tailgate, maybe go to the game, bitch about lines, food, band, and parking than actually enjoying Tiger Stadium and cheering for the tigers kicking a top 20 teams arse.

Yup I feel the same way , I applaud and thank those 90000 people who choose not to be as lazy as me . Football season is why I bought the 70" so if you don't like it then

I guess by growing out of going to game I should have said had 2 kids and priorities changed. When they are older we will go to the games just not worth the haggle right now.

But how easy is it to get a 50" flat screen and a dish and watch the games anywhere. And the product is a lot better on TV than in the stadium.

Willing to bet there's a direct correlation to badass HD tvs becoming cheaper and stadium attendance.

Don't think I can argue with you. But I can't help what generation I was exposed to LSU football.

You'll start missing more games as they get older, at least I did. Every weekend my kids had/have sports and Im usually coaching or driving them to their games.

One time, I watched a closed circuit broadcast of my son being born while I stayed home and vacuumed. It was so cool...

The worst thing about watching on TV is Verne and Danielson, sometimes listening to them makes me wish I was at tiger stadium

LSU/ Baton Rouge need to do something about parking and traffic, more and more long time season ticket holders I know are starting to reconsider getting them.

Did they happen to announce the actual attendance yesterday? I sat in my seat the entire game and don't remember hearing it.

What would have them do exactly? I await to hear your plan with baited breath.
