The cost of tkts, travel, hotel, food, alcohol etc...it's a pretty big sum that only a few can afford individually. There ain't that many folks who would spend that kind of money to go to a bowl game or regular season game when you can watch it comfortably on HDTV!

HDTV, TV deals with major networks will continue to murder (nationwide) college football attendance. It will get worse before it gets better.

Not to mention the cost of attending a game, and the PITA parking, etc. is.

While I am spoiled (and freely admit it), my reasons for not going to this game are personal (long-standing plans for NYE and NYD). However, this is not just the result of the Tigers' success and the spoiling of the fanbase, it is also the result of the routine abuse LSU fans (especially season ticket holders [I've had mine since 94]).

The fact that season tickets and "Tradition Fund" requirements have priced out many of the old school, "hardcore" fans is well established. What has made this worse is that the few decent OOC games on LSU's schedule ARE NOT BEING PLAYED IN TIGER STADIUM!!! So, you have ever increasing ticket prices, along with a "bowl-type" game at the beginning of the season resulting in empty wallets by the end of the season and no one is going to try to cobble up that kind of $$$ to go to the Outback Bowl. It's just not going to happen.
