With this game probably slated to start @ 2:30pm, what will attendance look like?

Granted, it will be much colder, but will we see excuses because of how COLD it is rather than hot?

The Florida game is always a huge game, I was disgusted to see even the grandstands only 50% full at kickoff. Hopefully, people wake up and see the importance of this game and pony up to attend and be loud.

First folks were saying 90% full at kickoff. Yesterday, it was 75% by kickoff. by next week, it will be only 25% full at kickoff.

Yes, people in the uppers will complain about snow flurries and the road conditions because they didn't show up with their snow chains. The bands instruments will all freeze up forcing the student section to sing STTDB over and over and the jumbo screen will be one big McDonalds hot chocolate advertisement.

We win the game though

Seriously, though... it all depends on the bama game. We beat Bama, and that A&M game will be full start to finish.

View from East Upper as the team is running onto the field. The smoke is from the fireworks

I thought you were being sarcastic until I saw the jumbotron ad. Now I know you were serious, and that you work for the LSU AD.

if we beat Ole Miss and Bama, the A&M game will be one of the best atmospheres ever in Tiger Stadium

There are some past games to live up to but I hope so. I love being witness to all the games that go down as the best ever atmospheres

50% full?

You are 100% full of shite.

I tailgate right by the stadium and it too me a full 45 minutes to get into the stadium. I missed our first drive because of the gate debacles.

Why should that matter? I don't get the "I just show up for BIG games" attitude. The traffic will be worse, the delays at the gates worse, the crowds at the concession stands worse. If you are one of those that puts your comfort and ease first, why bother with BIG games? You can still brag to your buddies in the break room that you were there, had a great time and are exhausted by the excitement and never leave the comfort of your Lazy Boy.

I think that picture above pretty clearly spells it out - at least at kick-off.
