Can someone explain why expected attendance is so low?
Does LSU have that many people that travel long distances to attend games?
If demand exists, then they would open up the upper decks so that is not the reason.

I know I make my Fall plans around home football games. I'm sure a lot of people are on vacations, etc. and were planning to watch on TV.
Also, they might have trouble getting all the personnel to work in the stadium they normally have on short notice, due to the same reason, so they cut-off the uppers to help with that.
And South Carolina can't be traveling well.
And people who bought home season tickets might not want to throw down more cash for another game they didn't budget for. Imagine a family of 5 that hits all the home games, but would have to throw out $375 on just tickets for this (and then every other expense like concessions, parking, etc.).

1. I suspect a lot of people, including Dan Borne, already made other plans for the weekend assuming it was a road game.
2. If you're from South LA, getting to and from the game the same day shouldn't be an issue. It's much more difficult for those from N. La. and beyond.
3. The closing of the upper-decks is for staffing purposes. LSU had to get all of the people who work the games ready to go on short notice. I'm sure LSU won't be a full capacity as they would for a scheduled home game. They will open the upper-decks if the demand is great enough. They just want to make sure it is first, before calling in more support staff.
