LSU only cares about paid attendance not actual attendance.


You're completely wrong, if there's no butts in the ballpark, concessions aren't being sold. LSU makes a ton more on concessions than they do tickets.

A ton more on concessions than tickets? What are you talking about?

Per LSU's 2011 Athletic Department audit:
quote:

OTHER SPORTS
Ticket Sales $2,816,207
Contributions $5,148,749
...
Concessions $200,543

LINK

Considering the audit categorizes Football, Basketball, and Women's Basketball as separate categories, you can assume "OTHER SPORTS" is basically baseball. Thus, you've got roughly $3 million in ticket sales to $200,000 in concessions.

What were you saying, again?
