The gameday experience has sucked under Woodward.

I’m not saying it’s 100% his fault, but the football game day experience has been completely sold out to corporate America over the last decade. I think everyone here can admit and agree the concessions selling to Aramark, all the locked up parking lots are that crazy expensive for passes and the forcing of lsu sponsored tailgate packages in certain areas has sucked for the middle class family game goers.
I know this will get downvoted but certain aspects of going to the game have been awful over the last decade and they’ve made it harder than ever for family’s and lower/middle class people to go to the games.

Not only will Mike the tiger be in the stadium for games now, he’ll be loose!

the sport sold its soul to television networks, and now we will pay the price as the community experience we love is hollowed out in pursuit of the almighty dollar.
might as well sell the football program to private equity.

I agree on gameday experience, but that would have happened with or without Scott Woodward.
We can blame Scott for Kelly's dumb contract, but the revenue needed to be a big time program right now is quantum leaps higher than it was a decade-plus ago.
Sure the boosters cover some, but there's so much more we have to pay for now with facilities, shadow staffs, NIL managers, the list goes on.
Where do you think that money comes from?

You know that is probably the board and not Woodward right? Either way they have to get money for NIL from somewhere. I love him how you people think things are magically going to get better with an AD that bows down to the governor.

Money seriously ruins everything. We had/have the most beautiful an exciting pure sport in the country and the greedy slobs in the finance departments realized they can squeeze every dime out of it.

Welcome to Power 4 sports in the 21st century. This is not unique to LSU.

This goes all the way back to Joe Alleva and his east coast stupidity.

What kind of revenue are they deriving from the piped in music?

That contract happened under Aleva. I find the concessions have gotten better in the last two seasons, but still nothing to write home about.

This is true.
