I hope you are right. For the record, here are the RULES for the MECA lots which are pretty much just for season ticket holders... LINK
I just didn't see many people even trying to tailgate. They do admit they are turning a blind eye to the alcohol as long as there aren't problems. Maybe one of the hotels will let you tailgate in their parking structure!
I heard that up by 13th and Nicholas that an LSU fan had a half million dollar RV with awnings and restaurant style racks for the dishes, bought hay to spread around the RV... I haven't seen it, but apparently there are places you can go to tailgate. It's kind of a creepy part of town, though.
Thought of a few other things I miss... The LSU guy who threw the beads - haven't seen him this year (he was here last year). The ballgirls - no more net or booing the ballgirl. There is HUGE foul territory, so not many balls come into the stands.
If you've watched on TV, the crowds aren't filling the place. The season tickets are sold, but the people aren't coming. True, the weather has been yucky (either really humid and hot, or drizzling like today), and the flooding and backed-up sewer smell doesn't help.
They are dismantling Rosenblatt, the auction is tomorrow for anyone who might want anything. You can bid online. Honestly, I find it incredibly tacky that they are auctioning trash cans, brooms, urinals, etc. Go to www.rosenblattauction.com if you are interested.

His dad passed away and HE also had a heart attack this year. Been friends with his family for a very long time. He'll be back...just was too much this year.
