Gymnastics meets are fun. Not a bunch of old men asking you to be quiet or sit down. The atmosphere is amazing like I remember basketball games and football games when I was a kid. The excuses LSU are using that people just don't WANT to come to sporting events is bull shite. Make them fun again and people will come. As proven by the 20,000 people that showed up to watch gymnastics the last 2 meets. Plus the scenery is amazing to say the least.

I have two young daughters I bring and I'm so happy they get to see a fun atmosphere at LSU as I did. So I'm not a total perv......lol GEAUX TIGERS

If you didn't have two daughters, would you have still went?

My wife & I would go even if we didn't have daughters.

Then you sir are missing out of a great event. Lose the preconceptions and get out of your own way.

You are the one missing out

Gymnastic meets are awesome and as with most sports in the SEC, you know you'll be watching the best of the best.

And we just got Mary Lou Retton's daughter as a new recruit for next year. What if she attends and all the excitement that brings. Good future.

I have been to the SEC gymnastics ships before and it is an amazing event. The athletes are also awesome.

Apparently the meets do attract people that don't know the difference between quiet and quite.

Pmac would be packed for basketball if team was top 5..gymnastics didn't have these attendance figures when they weren't this good.. I'm sure they are fun, but it's hard to beat a packed out Pmac for basketball when the Tigers are rolling!

Well,to be fair, football and this site attracts more of those people. The guy posted a positive message about gymnastics, crowd, and atmosphere last night and look at responses he gets.

The meets are fun because it's primarily a bunch of young families with pre-teen and young teen kids, mostly young girls that don't mind getting up yelling and dancing in their seats, it's excitement in its purest form. They set the tone for the match. It's not the octagenarian same-sex marriage crowd you see at women's BBall and it's not the 60 year old coaches committee wanna-be marshall a-holes you see at men's baseball.

Gymnastics meets are a great place to find some new tail to slam.
