It was quieter than it use to be even with more seats. The majority of people still left after halftime. Why even show up to the game. I hate these new fans that have ruined one of the greatest stadiums of all time.

The majority left when it was 31-10, not before.

Maybe us losing 5 to 8 games a year for a few years will be a good thing

I was there, and I was shocked at how quiet it was, even at the beginning of the game. What was weird was I could hear the State fans in the upper decks going nuts, like the sound in their section traveled better.

People leave early, I hate it but folks in general ain't what they used to be. With that said, the few times that LSU fans had a reason to get loud (not counting the last 5 minutes) that place was rocking. We sat nearly at the top of the west uppers and several times it was so loud that the place was vibrating and I couldn't hear my daughter and she was sitting right beside me. With the new south upper in place and a good game going on, believe me that place will be like sitting inside a drum. I for one am very excited about the future of Tiger Stadium.

Now, how to keep butts in the seats, no idea other than find out a way to speed up traffic out of LSU.

My two cents.

Yes it will.

Eventually LSU's football program is going to take a "nose-dive" to some degree. It happens to every major football power: Notre Dame, Oklahoma, USC, Alabama, Michigan, etc., etc. etc.

When that happens, the expectations of a win virtually every time LSU steps on the field in TS will disappear. Fans will be caught up in the excitement of attending a game LSU isn't thought to be "100% assured of a win." It's why since 2008 LSU fans tend to stick around for the Alabama game.

It was a team that has beaten us like twice in two decades. Most fans thought we would just steam roll them (myself included) Bama will be insane regardless of our record.

This is complete BS.

The majority of fans didn't leave until the 4th qtr when we were down by 3 TDs. I know I stayed to see if Miles would put Harris in. I gave up after he kept him in once more time and AJ was sacked on the 1. Im sorry Im not sadistic and I had someone babysitting my 2 year old. I don't enjoy watching that.

If the stadium was over half empty after the half then how did it get so damn loud after we had the defensive TD?

the game opening and first half sure sounded like it was rockin'. I think when we layed an egg some folks left; sad, but true.

If you go and not yell at the top of your lungs every time the opposing team has the ball, even if we're down 31-10, please kindly hand your ticket to someone who will

Winning will fix everything. In 2007 the place was rocking because it was LSU's year and everyone knew it. Same as in 2011. I've heard back in the early 2000's it was nuts because LSU was winning for the first time in over a decade.

Also, tell Alleva to quit taking away the marquee out of conference games and I think you'll see a big difference in fan participation.
