I might be one of the few, but I still enjoy going to the games but they (LSU) are about to price me out for a very subpar experience

Here’s some things I’d wish they change:
-Aramark has to go. It’s beyond embarrassing that our options are cold food items, peanuts, and candy
-Get venues like Chimes, Walk Ons, chick fil a, jambalaya (those are easy sellers)
-Reduce the price of alcohol. $10/ultra is insane
-Enhance the speakers in the stadium. They either don’t work or sound like shite
-Get LED lights. Players/recruits love it, fans get more engaged
-Quit charging obscene amounts to park. Game day is expensive enough already
-Invest in a big screen. Everyone loves it, makes either end zone be able to see, and it’s aesthetically appealing

Those are just some off the top of my head but I wish Scott would actually do something about it. But first, give The General and momma Kim what they want and replace all bleachers at Alex Box with seat backs

You aren't wrong. But when you spend what LSU spends to fire a coach and then hire BK... you can't really look at the budget to reduce revenue and increase costs. At the end of the day, the #1 things everyone remembers leaving the stadium is whether LSU won or lost. If BK wins, the stadium will still be packed whether the food is shitty or not. I'll pay $10/beer to watch LSU win. But I won't do it for a 6-6 team.

I'd prioritize reducing the amount of piped-in music during the game (pre- and post-game is fine).

100% agree. Food options are pretty trash, doubt they would reduce the price of alcohol though. For more than one reason... We don't need MORE shitfaced idiots at Tiger Stadium and 10$ a beer is pretty standard.

Don’t we have this already?? If you’re still buying Aramark food, that’s on you.

I totally agree with you but he's been here for over two years.

If he has plans to do any of this I think we would have heard about it by now.

And to be fair, he has a helluva lot of stuff on his plate right now to deal with.

Sure as a stand-alone booth but both of those businesses have way too much going on during game days to cater a stadium on a large scale

Where have you seen chimes and walk ons in the stadium? They have good seafood options, burgers, etc. The jambalaya vendor they have is embarrassing. It’s white rice and Tony’s mixed with hot dog tasting sausage

Can't believe the mouth breathers aren't complaining about traffic yet.

Yeah they can do booths. Not saying every concession stand.

Something like 1/4lb burgers (real meat not that frozen dog food), fried shrimp, boudin balls. Rotate throughout summer into fall. They would sell the shite out of them

This is the first thing. If people don't have to get there at 6AM with their kids to have a decent place to park, they won't be in such a hurry to get home.

Bringing back Tiger transit would also be good.

Both of these would have positive impacts on postgame traffic, and really, people leaving at halftime is really what you want to try to stop.

ETA: you could sell permits to food trucks. I don't know the best way to do this, you can't really have 12 food trucks sitting in TS during games, but if there's a will, there's a way, and I'm sure there would be interest.

Food and piped in music needs to change in a big way.

The NEZ could perfectly fit an ultra wide screen that would “close in” that side of the stadium.

And knowing LSU, 80% of it would be ads.
