Last year: 2,000 spots - all full - $0 revenue
This year, even if only ONE person pays to park: 2,000 spots - 1 spot occupied - $40 revenue.
i'm not saying we need free parking, i'm saying if you set the price point above what people will reasonably pay, you are minimizing profit.

And when I walked through campus on Saturday, every lot was at least 75% (ish) full.
bullshite.
my wife went and said there were plenty of spots, the other people i talked to said there were plenty of spots, and the pics on the news showed nearly empty lots.
but i guess we will see when it comes to marquee games.

They were getting ZERO REVENUE for all of those spots.
If LSU Parking finds $5 on the ground in 2,000 empty spots, it's more revenue than they were making last year, dumbass. Do you honestly think that LSU gives a shite if half the spots are unoccupied? If 1,000 cars pay $40 a pop, how is that not infinitely better than the ZERO frickING DOLLARS they got last year. (And save the microeconomic supply/demand curves... I understand how that works, I assure you...)
And regarding the "fullness" of spots, I came down Dalyrmple and walked to the north side of the stadium. Parking lots weren't completely full, but not far from it.
This was 5:30ish, by the way.
