re: Let's talk solutions for the Tiger Stadium experience

They can stop the piped in music for sure.

Everything else that sucks is money-whoring related unfortunately. It all needs to get reimagined. Maybe we can get an athletic director to flat out say "start giving to the academic side of your university" and the nickle and dime shite can stop on the athletic side. With that you could re-think the obnoxious way we run football like a killjoy cash register.

PS- south endzone is a ghetto. Nothing you can do to get me to go to a game in one of those seats.

Get rid of the piped in music and allow the students to run fricking wild. I used to complain about the students and some of their antics. To hell with it. If they want to scream STTDB, then let them do it. 

We need those students to be fricking savages. I'm talking about the days of making Tebow cry after his phone number was stolen. I was wrong about the students not playing a HUGE role in the atmosphere of Tiger Stadium.

Holy crap someone finally gets it. The school essentially neutered the student section, and leaving early was the result. As a student during 2011/12, I and others lived for neck.

Piped in music started blowing my head up last night . At least could've been turned down a little bit in the second half. It was ridiculous. My old ears are mush now

Like all sports through time, college football has peaked and in decline. It's universal and happening all around the country. The stadium is fantastic, the product is very poor and worse than ever to watch and enjoy.

I'm not mad or angry with anyone it's just not worth going anymore and I will not do so again.

I love my State and flagship university and have great memories of what was once.

Those people sitting at those table are probably fans also. Not sure about the radio show but I know at the bash they solicit all size businesses to buy those tables so that they have enough money to put on the bash so that you can be there. Your $35 ticket doesn't pay the whole cost for venue rental, security, food, etc. But I get your point, just wanted to clarify that many of us sitting at those tables are small business people who are fans as well, instead of the large corporate sponsors.

OK will take a stab at this. Also I can't understand why this is so difficult for an administration to understand. The fans have spoken about these for years.

1. More band and less piped in music except at half time and before game. Put a mic infront of the band so the entire stadium can hear them better as well. Sometimes its hard to hear them in the south endzone. I imagine the upper decks are similar.

2. Parking - Be reasonable on parking ticket prices for RV and Car parking. Its really getting out of hand. The lot we have parked in for years for free then first come first serve ($20-40) is now $100 per game. That is completely out of control for a parking spot for Syracuse. RV parking for the Auburn game is $300 per spot. I understand needing to make money but there has to be something reasonable.

3. Bathrooms and concession stands are as bad as any stadium. Bathrooms need to be upgraded. Enlarge the concession stands to help with the long lines. Allow people to bring in unopened water bottles.

4. Quit finding ways to eliminate student activities. If you think underage drinking is a concern have more cops to give MIP's. Punish individuals, not whole groups. Don't eliminate the organized tailgates for them.

5. Have scanners available at the gates at the end of games. You can scan your ticket at the end. Priority points for away games, bowl games, and parking and ticket upgrades are based are credited to your account.

6. Sell Beer and Liquor. I know thats out of LSU's hands a little but figure out a loop hole.

7. Enlarge the Endzone seats. Who cares if we are 102k or 90k. Make it more comfortable.

Gotta win like that team from T-Town!

The piped in music is an abomination. And I stayed for the whole game.
