Alleva might be good at some things, but a logistician he is NOT... you want butts in seats, you have to make it possible to get to Tiger Stadium without a struggle... the powers that be need to realize that Tiger Stadium has over 30,000 more seats AND:

1-crappy mass transit options, you used to have a great bus connection from the old Greyhound station to North Stadium parking; a train from NOLA; and a helluva lot more parking close to the stadium

2-parking-keep the gameday paid parking open until an hour before kickoff

3-give up some control in order to get a decent contraflow...

After nearly every single game for the past few years there has been huge complaining regarding post game traffic. People say traffic is the reason most haven't been coming to the games and why people leave early.

LSU responded by totally overhauling the post game traffic routes. Yet you people still bitch. When 150,000 people are in such a small area, it is impossible for everyone to get every single luxury they want. The game day atmosphere is no where near as bad as you guys make it sound and to can find plenty of parking if you arrive at a decent hour. If you wanna come late, pay to park. If you can't do that, it's your own damn fault. Stay home, watch it on your tv, and shut up.
