re: Athlon ranks Tiger Stadium No. 1 SEC venue.

It's odd, as the stadium dynamics has changed a lot, as evidenced by the dwindling crowds from half time on to a crowd of only 72K for the gators last yr. And it is not just the students who are bailing out early, as there are huge gaps all over the stadium from half time on. Yet, according to the paper, LSU has sold a record number of season tickets & the waiting list is between 4-5K. Facilities wise, the new TS provides for a much improved physical environment. But with the complete commercialization of TS & all the corporate type fans, the actual game environment is nothing like it used to be. So, explain the waiting list.
