Could this be a possibility? Especially to boost attendance.

Having that thing at 5pm would be money. You would get all day tailgating and a much higher attendance imo.

I like the idea. It wouldn't be so damn hot either.

i dont think it would boost it that much if they moved it to night.

i love football seeing the team and all but for the most part spring games are boring

Depends on when it is. If it's still in early April when it's cold, then it probably wouldn't help any.

I think they're extremely boring & time of day won't affect my decision to attend.

It would most definately help. But until LSU starts caring about I doubt the fans will.

A 1:30pm baseball game and a 5pm Spring game would be nice. LSU needs to encourage tailgating and bring in many alumni

if they would have had that big kid rock show last year, i could have seen it adding another 10 people.

get brooks and dunn and all the rednecks from surrounding parishes will come.

they arent going to care about a spring game and that is the way it should be. I would hate to be as gay as bama and care about a spring game

Penn State has a carnival like atmosphere. Even those that graduated years ago come back for the spring game every year. Several bands play, etc... University sells clothing, posters, drinks, etc...at the spring game and they make a lot of money from that - let alone highly encouraging all famous alumni to attend and they donate money.

No, it wasn't cold. Was actually a pretty nice day. You're thinking about the National Championship Celebration ... it was cold as hell for that.

highly doubtful. They don't really care too much about attenndance for that game, and promote/play it accordingly. It's not a money maker b/c of the dirt cheap tickets, lack of big tv money, big advertising money, etc. A huge turnout would just mean more money spent on cops, trash collection, staffing, security, etc.
