And the workers have somehow gotten even dumber. Didn’t think that was possible.

Actually, it makes total sense. Local groups trying to raise a little money for their school, church, ball team, etc. used to run those concession stands. Now you have a large company, which hires people for minimum wage (think McDonald's workers), running concessions and LSU doesn't have to give a cut of the profits to the local groups.

People like to plan ahead and have tickets in hand when going to a game. I am in Memphis and no way I make the almost 800 mile round trip without tickets in hand. $120 for uppers is ridiculous.

So give up the security of having a ticket in hand, wait until a half-hour before kickoff and you'll scoop up tickets for a fraction of that. These games aren't even close to being sold out nowadays. There are too many tickets to be had, especially for a day game.

If you're complaining about paying $120 for an upper deck ticket, you're doing it wrong. The face value for ticket prices are outrageous, but you can get around that. Otherwise, there are plenty of places around town you can watch the game with other LSU fans for the experience of gameday.

Now you can't get around outrageous in-stadium food prices unless you just vow not to eat or drink once you're inside. And I applaud you if you can do that.
