Dear LSU Students,

Thank you for your support at the home-opener against UAB on Saturday Night in Tiger Stadium. Despite the lightning delay, it was a great night for football in Death Valley and our Tigers played like a Top 10 team. Your passion and enthusiasm for LSU football makes the atmosphere in Tiger Stadium the best in college football.

Let me apologize for your experience entering Tiger Stadium this past weekend. This year, we tried to make entering the student gates easier and more efficient for you – the student body – but unfortunately the plan did not work as expected....it was a mistake.

We have met with representatives of Student Government and are working with all parties to rectify the situation for this weekend.

We understand that many of you weren’t able to get your tickets or ID scanned before entering the stadium, and as a result, anyone with a student ticket on their account will get full credit for attending the game.

Thank you for your continued support of all of our teams and your fellow students. We look forward to seeing you back in Tiger Stadium again on Saturday Night. Student support of our teams is essential to their success.

Geaux Tigers,
Joe Alleva
LSU Vice-Chancellor and Director of Athletics

I don't understand how people can manage to frick things up so bad.

They went from trying to make things "easier and more efficient" to a complete cluster frick... So I was told.
Reminds me of toonces.

That Joe is a swell guy. He knew that people were having problems getting into the stadium, so they set up the "lightning" excuse to allow time for everyone to enter the game before kickoff.

They need to rethink their "empty all pockets" and "women remove baseball caps" philosophy at the escalator gate for the east upper deck. I felt like I was at the airport.

Is it bad that I expected this to be an apology about ad space on the only scoreboard in DV currently?

Students don't need or deserve an apology. The trashy element ( read: most non-Greeks) has ruined one too many chants.

the line was very wide and eventually the state troopers decided to move the line in(towards the stadium) and send everybody who was outside of it to the back of the line. that wasn't cool mannnnn.
