I was there.

- Seating was horribly inadequate. There were more people sitting on the concrete floors than there was seating.

- You could walk through food line once, and get one plate of food. Period. For the entire 4 hours.

- Once you got your food, most were forced to sit on the concrete floor and eat.

- You could buy $50 tickets at the door, but it only allowed you entrance. You had to pay for food and drinks on top of that.

Honestly, it was so poorly planned, I was surprised that it was sponsored by LSU.

All of this. $50/person to have a high school concession stand bbq sandwich that we had to sit on the floor to eat. Absurd stadium-level prices on beer after waiting in line for half an hour each time. Very inadequate
televisions. Never again.

The only truth in this statement is that you were only allowed to go through the food line once. The rest is 100% inaccurate.

I will say seating was inadequate, however you absolutely were not forced to sit on the floor. There wasn't anyone there directing people to sit on the floor and eat.

There certainly wasn't more people sitting on the floor eating than there were at tables. There was maybe 100 or so people sitting on the floor from what I could see. I wasn't doing a head count, but it wasn't some massive group either and far from the majority.

We were allowed to eat inside the area where the food was. I fixed a plate and posted up at an empty table with some others and ate. Finished my plate and made another one. Again, no complaints from our group or anyone else around us.
