So how was the official LSU Alumni Tailgate?

Curious on everybodys take. How was the food, drinks? I know it was $50+ with only food included. Would anyone say it was worth it. I know LSU Houston tried their best to put on the best event they could but were handcuffed by NRG and Aramark. I did the party in midtown route and it was a blast.

Far from being worth $50 a pop. Not near enough seating, very long lines for food and drinks expensive. But it was very comfortable a/c wise.

A group of ours left Rice Village to go and all said they wished they had stayed and drank with us at the bars because it wasn't worth it.

Ran out of good food, crazy long lines for beer. the AC and BTE may have made it worth it. But overall it kinda sucked

A/C was great. Food decent. One plate so you had to load up. Long lines for drink and food. Not enough tables or chairs. Could have opened up the other side and would have been plenty of room. Heard some folks say they were selling tickets at the door but could not guarantee food. Golden Band was nice treat. BTE not for me. Did not sell soda from the bar only water. Bartender said that they only had soda for mixed drinks. Kids wanted soda. All in all not sure what limitations they had put on them but everyone was very polite and cool. $40 may have been more reasonable with one plat and no chairs.

It was awful. They should be ashamed. I wish I was important enough to call and bitch to someone.

Sounds like it was awful.

Lines were long for everything, including food, drinks & restrooms. I HATE lines. I don't know who catered the event, but the food sucked. The jambalaya may have been the worst I have ever had. The Golden Band & BTE were good. Overall, I was disappointed. I just hope the proceeds raised go to a good cause.

I, along with about a dozen friends, all had a great time and enjoyed the event. I appreciate what the volunteer alumni did and all the hard work they put in. We enjoyed the food, music, A/C and socializing with other tiger fans in a very spacious area that was reserved.

If you like waiting in lines, being thirsty and hungry all for $50/person then it was a big success.
Are the caterers that ignorant to realize that more bartenders = more $$$$ and happier people?
BTE , the AC, and the Tiger band were all good points.

Had a good time there. Positives were a/c, Tiger Band, BTE. Negatives were Long beer lines, lack of multiple TV's (couldn't see them that well if you weren't a VIP), and the jambalaya (seperate rice and "jambalaya toppings" at an LSU event? What the hell was that?)

a lot of hate spewed but i enjoyed it. it was exactly what i thought it would be. band was good. food was meh. lines were longish for drinks. again, it is what i expected it to be.

My group had a great time! BTE was the best part. Yes there were long lines drink and that did suck, but I believe that was the fault of Aramark???? They could have made a lot more money. I did not go there expecting to get a bunch of food or great food for a party that big.
The a/c , BTE and visiting with tiger fans I hadn't seen in a long time was worth the price.
Thanks to all those who worked hard to put it together.
