about the poor gameday experience inside the stadium? Does no good just to bitch about it on here.

I sent an e-mail last week, and got a quick response. I'm sure then it was quickly thrown in the delete box, but if enough fill up their inbox some changes may get made.

Probably less than 1/10th of 1% of the people who bitch nonstop on this board.

You are correct. I sent an email a couple of weeks ago after an encounter with one of LSU's Gestapo Keystone Cops. I didn't get a response.

1. There were some empty seats. It was still a GREAT environment. I feel like people who are saying the environment was "poor" just weren't there and/or are miserable fricks to begin with.
2. What exactly should I call and complain about? Are they going to force people to use their tickets?

I bet that was an entertaining read.

Poor experience? What was so bad about it?

We beat Florida and held them to two field goals. I don't blame the people on the east side for leaving. That sun was brutal.

Its a football game, not a circus. Some of you are some miserable fricks

What exactly would you change inside the stadium?

If the student section is going to yell profanity while on tv they have to do something (and it reflects poorly on LSU if they don't censor it).

We had typical fare to eat and drink in our section, no diff than any other stadium. Everything was as clean as could be expected. Cops kept everyone in check so we could all have a good time. Fans were into the game and yelled. Sweated buckets, but hey, that's just part of being a Tiger.

You make your own fun in life with your attitude and participation when you're there.

Would be seriously interested to hear what changes you would make.

Running out of water bottles at the concession?! Maybe this is something to complain about...maybe.

The fact that they refuse to show look-ins from other games during the numerous and ridiculously long CBS timeouts. UGA does it and it works great.......hell they could even sponsor it and generate even more money.

I'm not going to rehash every single gripe people posted on here, but there is more than enough LSU can do(most at no cost to them) to make the fan experience better.

A serious upgrade of the restrooms and having paper towels after the 1st quarter.

Look ins at other games?

Stay home if you wanna see highlights of the Arkansas game. You seem to be the person that needs to be entertained the whole time you're there. Can you not just sit there during a timeout and relax without shite being blasted in your face the whole time?

I sent one yesterday to my TAF rep and to lsu.. The issues and lack of contingency planning for game entrance, the lack of preparation with concessions, and the idiocy of not immediately opening all the gates on the west side after the game are all excusable by themselves... Having them all happen in one game is unacceptable.

I am going to send them an email and state that it is just plain stupid to add a South stadium expansion. If you thought the stadium looked empty yesterday, just wait until next year's Sam Houston State game.

Nah....I'm a hardcore fan and along with probably about 50K, I would go regardless. It's the remaining 40K that are on the fence and are choosing to stay away entirely/leave early because of the experience not being friendly.

Why are you so against them keeping us informed about games going on outside of Tiger Stadium? Hell, think of the reaction if at the Florida game in 07, we actually got to look in to some of the highlights of USC getting beat?

Experience not being friendly? What is so unfriendly about going to the game?

I have and got a response thanking me for the response and saying they are always looking for ways to improve the game day experience and hearing from fans like me helps them in assessing all aspects of the game management. I could tell someone took a lot of personal devotion in cutting and pasting my name into the email.

Bathrooms are horrendous
There are often no paper towels past the 1st quarter, for big games sometimes they're all gone by the start of the game.
Ridiculously long tv timeouts, that extend the game to a ridiculous length.
No game highlights from other games that are going on.....funny, but folks like to know what's going on in other games.
Show more stats on the "jumbotron"....once a quarter is no where near enough.
Show more scores on the "jumbotron"....the ribbon board can't even get the scores right, on Saturday it had the wrong score the GA game until late in the 4th quarter.
Crap Wi-Fi service....sorry, but this is 2013 and people like their phones.

I do think the empty seats comments were overblown a bit. Every time I went to a concession stand the halls were filled with people watching the TV's in the shade. Most of those empty seats ticket holders were in the stadium just not in their seats.
