re: Why do older fans bring so much shite to the games with them?

Considering these are probably some of the folks that sat on wooden bleachers before there were super-sized scoreboards. My dad carried his LSU bag -- inside was program for that day's game, his copy of roster from beginning of season, binoculars, head phone radio. Then when LSU started using the souvenir cups, he'd take those home (along with a few extras). But I'd give anything to be able to have another over-loaded-bag game at Tiger Stadium with my dad. And he gave to LSU after attending in late 30's until the Alzheimer's kicked in. But then I continued with the donations and tickets. Oh and we never left before the scoreboard clock read 00:00 Horrors --- no way ....
