re: SERIOUSLY: What's the best way to keep fans in the stadium?

In 2007 and 2011. Ok I will concede that. Congrats. In 2 of our best years ever when we were playing some of the most entertaining football ever against quality opponents in Tiger Stadium, people stayed longer than they did compared to when we are unranked and playing Kentucky. Hell, let's add 2003 to the mix.
In 2009 LSU was (ranked 9th) coming off a loss to Florida. The Tigers welcomed a two loss Auburn team who just lost their last two to Kentucky and Arkansas.
Late into the third quarter the Tigers were up 23-3 and this was the scene after Ruseel Shepard scored his first TD as a Tiger:
Are you ready to admit that it hasn't ALWAYS been this way or are you going to throw out more excuses as to why this game was another exception?

It's gotten more pronounced, no doubt. Fans leave earlier and in greater numbers than ever before. It's not even debatable. Reasons why? sure...though the most obvious ones have been talked about here.
It's almost funny the past 2 seasons watching fans stream out regardless of the weather, score, opponent, etc. The only exception I can think of was BAMA in 2012.
Like I've said...I no longer give two shits about it, but it's gotten much more obvious very recently.

We must have been going to different Tiger Stadiums throughout the years then. In blowouts, it's the same it has always been
Comparing apples to apples, yes it is

Your pics stop in the 3rd quarter where we put the game away. Also Auburn is more than a rival than the pushover that most people have come to think Kentucky is. Finally, if you look at the 4th quarter footage there are huge plots of vacant seats with 14:15 left on the clock. So yes it happened in that game as well.
People leave because the buzz wears off in most cases. Who wants to party for 8+ hours then stop for 4 and lose their buzz? That compiled with the fact that people can go back to their tailgates with their generators, HD TVs, and be with all the people they have been tailgating with all day. That's not the case in the stadium. Most people who group up and tailgate together do not have the luxury of sitting together.
The stadium experience is being over taken by the HDTV. You get a better view for your buck and you have a way more comfortable seat. Too many people are choosing this route and now with the ease of viewing through so many mediums it's a lot easier to pop up a TV with the feed of the game in the parking lot. It's no longer struggling to view the game on bunny ears on CBS (when they were broadcasting it).
