Need to downsize to about 90k and make it nicer to go to a game.

Elimination of upper deck should be first.

Move the KO to 7pm and see how many tickets would still be left…

The Florida game was a sellout.
The students will be on thanksgiving break this week.

LSU priced out the average fan a long time ago. Lower ticket prices and get rid of paid parking. Tailgating AND the stadium experiences will return to glory!

It’s an 11:00 game Thanksgiving weekend, students are still out of school. I think the stadium is too big but that’s not the reason why this game isn’t sold out.

Meh.

Holiday weekend where a lot of people are either going out of town or to their hunting camps

No major postseason stakes on the line

Worst of all….an 11am kickoff time. You’d still have a pretty full stadium if it was a 6-7pm game. Its not a new phenomenon that LSU fans hate early kickoffs

Florida game was still packed and the stadium was rocking, even coming off the Bama loss.

Well it’s not getting any smaller.

You actually going to show up or just bitch about attendance from your couch?

Alleva had no reason to expand the stadium

LSU should be able to refuse to play 11am home games

This same game is a sellout if kickoff is at 7

I think they should do a Skyline club type of East Upper deck above the terrace somehow. Huge platform that people can watch from with limited chairback seating so it'll look lively and full on TV broadcasts. Putting the last allotted tickets in the East uppers never looks good because it hardly ever sells out and it's always in view of the camera panning up.

Stadium needs to be reconfigured, but a lot of this simply has to do with ability to watch anywhere and fact that team isn’t playing for more.

Maybe enhancing the comfort of the seating would be a good reason to downsize the seating capacity. But what difference does open seats make?

The south end zone expansion looks cool, but it’s unnecessary. Stadium was better without it. The PA system sounded better, the nose bleeds weren’t as empty as often, and it wasn’t as bright from the ad overload
