Serious question- adding seats means more empties if past few years continue. My thought: allow one time readmittance after halftime. Watch first half, leave and give your tickets back so others can enter. Ensures a fresh crowd

eliminate time outs for commercials...a three hour game is a hell of a lot easier to sit through than a four hour game...

LSU admins. need to keep pressing for night games,install bench-backs on EZ seating, VASTLY improve concessions {can NOT run out ice when it's hot and hot choc. when it's cold} i.e. upgrade with more/better So. La menu items,use MOST of the available scoreboard for replays and game related items, show other games of interest replays/scores during breaks in action and prior to kick off,reduce parking costs and stick to ONE traffic plan !

Make the concessions and bathrooms not embarrassing
Get great cell reception. I want to text other people about the game or about other games going on. I want to check stats, scores and rosters when I want without buying and carting around a program.
Show highlights and updates from other games. At least show the scores on those ribbon boards more than twice a game.

cutting down commercials is never going to happen. Selling beer and allowing re-entry are good ideas and will help.

better cell reception, public cell chargers as well. I would put a recharge station in every seatback if it were feasible.

Make it easier to get there and leave. People leave early bc it cuts back on time they're stuck in traffic .

Better cell reception.

Better home slate of games, make parking easier, sell beer, put shite up on the screens so when cbs goes to extended tv timeouts we dont just have the players to watch standing in a cirlce, that shite is boring as frick.

Better use of scoreboards (supposedly this is happening)
Either eliminate having to pay to park on campus inside of Highland or keep it open so that you can still get in close to game time. For me, this has been an issue for the cupcake games. Before they started charging to park on campus, we could participate in our kid's activities (they play games on Saturday too), drive in about an hour before the game, and could usually find a spot to park left by those who tailgate and leave before the game. When you're playing a multi-directional school, looking at that trek, and dealing with the traffic nightmares getting back out after the game, watching it on TV starts to look mighty attractive. We actually started using the shuttle from down town on games where we don't tailgate.
