Once and for all. Declining college football attendance is NOT just an LSU problem

Translation: colleges are building luxury items for the super rich and it won't stop the decline in attendance which is wide and deep, not thin and narrow.

but Alleva just had to expand that stadium to 100,000+

I think with LSU specifically it’s a traffic flow issue. The game has to be a real exciting game to attend for anyone to have to deal with the traffic issues post game. That’s one of the reasons people leave early. Fix the traffic problem and, I believe, that fixes 50% of the attendance issues. Putting a good product on the field and the ease of watching it from home are the other 50% issues why people may not attend.

Too expensive for an average Joe like me.

Regardless of all the perks, the stadium game experience is diminished by all the TV timeouts. This gave us more piped music and more worthless distractions. The game has lost its natural rhythm and the crowd doesn’t stay into it the same with the countless long timeouts.

Nobody cares, though. Sportsmanship and the game take a back seat to revenue.

Nobody trying to pay $12 per for Tranny beer in Stadium . Hoe Bidens economy is shite people are hurting . Come on man !

September games are generally adverse weather wise for many Tiger Fans. Temps still running in the 90’s and humidity through the roof. Not saying that’s a main reason, but couple that with fighting traffic, crappy opponent, University Restrictions, you have a recipe for lower attendance. Bring an Alabama or Georgia in Tiger Stadium at night on a cool October night, and you’ll see record breaking attendance. Just the way it goes, wouldn’t look to hard into it.

Seems like the only time Tiger stadium will be full is if it’s a top 10 matchup late in the season with SEC/National Championship implications on the line.

Tiger fans are kind of front runners that god forbid have to deal with any inconvenience.

The die hard fans have all grown up and have kids, jobs etc. People have more important things to do than pay $500 to watch a game when I can turn the TV on and grill steaks at the house...The heat, parking, traffic etc. I enjoy tailgating and have lived less than 10 miles from the campus for most of my life other than when I was in AZ. I am an LSU graduate and enjoy the game day atmosphere but I have too many other things to do. When I was in college it was the only thing to do and as social media has taken ahold of peoples lives things have certainly changed. The die hards are older and the younger generation has filled their time with a hand held phone.
Example -
My brother in law lives less than 3 miles from the stadium and its hard to make it to the game with kids etc. but thats just my story.

The expansion of tiger stadium shouldn't have happened. Upgrades, yes.... expansion, no.
