Jeezuz man. You really hate tailgating that much? Not only are you saying more drinking and partying outside the Stadium doesn't make the stadium louder and more raucous. You're actually trying to argue the opposite. That tepid family settings outside translate to louder inside?
It's not even debatable. Up until fairly recently in terms of the history of the program, tailgating as it is now discussed WAS NOT A THING for the vast majority of fans. It just wasn't. Juxtapose that FACT with the belief (rightly in most cases I might add) that Tiger Stadium was louder for longer and fuller for longer then than it is now, and it becomes pretty fricking apparent that huge party outside does not automatically translate into a party inside. It was not required for the LSU-USC game back in the 1970's...how they pull that off? What about LSU-FSU in 1982? Tailgating was nothing like it is today. I could go on...

I have no idea how young you were in 1982 when you started coming but that's the time I started LSU, and your parents must have kept you sheltered.
I was 12. There may have been some crews, but to suggest that every fan had some huge set up like what seems to be the case today existed then is horseshite. You could, without the need for a goddamn parking pass show up in the early afternoon for a 7pm game and park across the street from the stadium. We did it MANY TIMES. Now? I have to park in the damn hayfield at noon for a 7pm game (at 9am or earlier for a big game like BAMA) or risk not finding a place to park. Why/ Because you just gotta' tailgate! Whoo hoo!
But hey...I do need to thank you and guys like you. I'm going to be VERY VERY productive this week! Normally I'd waste far too much time on this site, but thanks to the shitfest this place is going to be for a while, I can step back and leave for a while. I'll be a ton happier not wallowing in the mud with miserable fricks like you, and you can have more of an echo chamber in which your bitch fest can ring. So enjoy!

You have no clue. No clue at all. The tailgates weren't as LOUD cause it was much more difficult to get music at them than it is today. Portable generators were not nearly as prevalent. Today everybody has one. You couldn't carry around seven hours of music in your shirt pocket.
Dude, games like LSU USC were off the hook cause of the nature of the game, but also cause the TailGate party just went on inside. Tiger Stadium used to reek of Bourbon on a Saturday night. These days I might smell a wiff a booze once every couple of years and just smile and remember how it used to be. Nobody wants to get DWI and Stadium searches and Marshal crackdowns in the stands have pretty much killed that off.
