What would tailgating be like today if LSU was hosting a Friday night playoff game?

I would imagine it would be some what smaller. Would also be smaller because students are gone and I dont think there is ton of student tickets made available. Still wild but different.

I'd be out there all day cooking, eating and drinking. Thanks again BK for preventing that from happening. Our season has been over for 2.5 months already.

I think LSU tailgating in general is a shell of it's former self. Back when you had free reign of the campus to pretty much tailgate anywhere you please, first come first serve, after 5pm on the day before. Back when Mike actually roamed the sideline. That was the golden days. Now it's just a big corporate money grab. No free parking within 2 miles of stadium. Some things have changed for the better, but that is not one of them.

Today the weather is beautiful, and I'm sad we don't even have the chance to tailgate. I'm sad my kids will never really experience that era. I sure hope CLK can change things around, and I hope the new administration can listen to our fans and quit with the piped in music and shitty generic loss of our culture

LSU's reputation is living off its past, not present, experience. Tailgating sucks compared to the Saban and early Miles era. Has become far too commercial and less organic. LSU saw a way to capitalize on additional revenue streams by charging for parking and prime locations. In the process it greatly diminished the excitement of tailgating at LSU.

They’ve also done their best to limit student involvement. When I was student the tailgate was the best party of the year and even the old folks got involved by feeding us, etc.

The loss of tailgating along Nicholson was huge.

I miss the LSU hearse and coffin.

LSU versus James Madison? Game would not even be sold out. LSU versus Alabama would be sold out.

Contrary to popular opinion, a Round 1 CFP game in TS would NOT be as big as a big SEC game in TS.

Graduation was today …..

I did not say LSU people would not care if we were in the CFP. I said a Dec 20 game versus James Madison would NOT sell out. And it wouldn't.

LSU fans will pay CFP ticket prices even on Dec 20 for a game versus a quality opponent. James Madison is not a quality opponent. Just because JMU is in the CFP does not make JMU a quality opponent.

If we ever host a Rd 1 CFP game, it would be interesting to see how many student tickets we would sell. I doubt we could sell 15K student tickets, but I think we'd sell at least 10K student tickets. Who we would play in a big factor.
