But you can forget LSU being a big time program if they don't generate the revenue.
the problem is attendance is suffering so much, how much money is lsu really making from paid parking and concessions? the games are inconvenient and expensive so people are staying home and not spending money at the game. i am definitely in that category

here's what i want - acceptable traffic (i know there will be traffic, i just don't want to deal with the current, unnecessary traffic nightmare), decent concessions, acceptable parking (distance and cost), ability to keep up with the big/relevant games (whether via wifi or stadium screens), tiger band vs recorded music

i don't think ANY of that is unreasonable or difficult to offer. basically none of that is happening. i think attendance will continue to decline until the games are more affordable, convenient and fun.

also, i think lsu needs to find a way to have a playground of some kind like at the box (even ikea has this). parents with kids either stay at home or stay for 1q because the experience is even WORSE for little kids. take a cue from skip and make the game a family affair. it's no secret that parents will spend pretty much any amount of money on kids and anyone who has ever been to a disney/sesame st production knows this. add disney-like attractions and the money will start pouring in.

The traffic argument is crazy IMO. The infrastructure just wasn't designed for the volume of traffic. Nothing they can do about that. I get out there no later than 8am and I leave about 2 hours after the game. I never have a problem in or out. The rest, concessions, parking etc is completely within LSU's control.
