Welcome to Tiger Stadium 2013

Saturday at the game, two guys in the late 20s - early 30s showed up for the two seats next to me at the 14:00 mark of the 2nd quarter. When LSU scored a touchdown to go ahead 14-3, one guy says to the other, "At what score do you want to leave?" At halftime, one of the guys turned to me and said, "We're heading out, y'all enjoy the rest of the game."
Two excellent seats, in the shade, and these guys watched 14:00 of gametime.

We should reserve those seats for high school football coaches.

It's an appalling trend to say the least.

Did they make out?

I simply do not understand those people.
That's right...I said those people.

Look, the deal is that in order to sell all the seats in the stadium at maximum obtainable prices, the athletic department markets them to businesses that can afford to pay those prices and take a writeoff (or partial writeoff, if they are obeying the tax law). The businesses (and their owners) may or may not have (a) other seats that they use personally, or (b) any particular loyalty to LSU other than the recognition they get for making donations. So they give the seats to whoever they feel like giving them to, without regard to the "fan-ness" of the recipient. The result is many thousands of seats that either go unoccupied, or are occupied only for the novelty of the experience, and are abandoned when the game is too uninteresting, too uncomfortable, or less attractive than some other form of entertainment.
The root cause is the financial motivation of the athletic department (which of course pays for the salaries of Miles, Cameron, Chavis, etc., the facilities, etc.) There is no solution other than a different marketing approach which will have as a necessary result a lower revenue target and a less consistently high-quality product on the field.

Pretty pathetic. I know people will say "You can do what you want with your tickets!" and they're right. But obviously our fans are becoming more and more spoiled and the football game is SECOND to the tailgating.
To me personally, that's sad. You tailgate FOR the game. You don't go to the game FOR the tailgating.

We have a group of 5 or 6 seats by us in the East Upper with the LSU stadium seats that have pretty much been empty for 3 years. Every now and then for bigger games we get high school kids. That's over $4K in tickets just going to waste. Makes zero sense.

I sat next to my friends grandparents on the east side, if they could stay the whole game, then I certainly was going to

Oh...that was YOU next to us?

Should have tsk tsked louder at them.
Slacker.

The two seats next to me are a company from Houma. Every week it's two different disinterested assholes that show up for maybe half the game and look around dumbfounded when we do the Chinese Bandit cheer and whatnot.

Now I don't typically complain when people leave in the middle of the 4th quarter, to each their own, but this is god damned horrendous.

Were they cute w/ big roots?
Seriously though, while it is painful to see they have the right to do that.

A growing contingent of our fanbase consists of indolent pussies. That's just the plain truth.

A lady passed me on the way up to her seats and said "Whew! I think I'd rather be in my living room right now!" I said, "Go home, then"
I hate that stuff.

Originally, there was a reason for night games. whether it was the heat in the early fall or working class fans or what ever it was that made LSU and its traditions famous. Alleva needs to stand up to the powers that be and say enough. They still televise other night games, just let it be LSU. Why do we need to add on SEZ upper deck if we can't keep the rest of the stadium full? But that is another story for another day.
