This slate of home games has been just awful this season, in part due to Alleva fricking up the UF situation last year, the greed of playing the neutral site games, and an overall bad SEC. There really hasn’t been one high stakes home game this year....and while the offense is improved, it’s Hardy appointment viewing to want to go watch Etling and co. outlast some shite team.

Blame spoiled fans all you want, but the AD has had a hand in watering down the product

tailgating has taken a huge hit too since they decided they just had to monetize that as well. Lots of people simply dont go anymore. Fewer people on campus in the first place leads to fewer people going to the games.

the in stadium experience has been watered down too, from the limitations on the band to 45 minute waits for concessions. Commercial breaks are out of control and LSU does nothing to try and alleviate the boredom that sets in. And with a wifi set up that has not been improved it's difficult to keep up with whats going on in other games around the country during these frequent and lengthy breaks in play.

You can buy a 4k tv for close to or maybe even less than the cost of a season ticket nowadays, a lot of people have just said the hell with it and LSU has done little to nothing to try and reverse that other than the beer garden idea, which is a good one but it's one piece of a bigger puzzle.

You're reaching here. Just trying to shoehorn your feelings about Alleva into any thread, huh?

Thomas was at the Auburn game. He saw fans leaving in the second quarter. You can't blame that on Alleva.

It's not Alleva's fault that fans don't show up for games at 11 AM.

And I don't see how Alleva "fricked up" the UF situation last year. Florida made that mess. Alleva just tried to salvage our home game. In hindsight, we probably should have just traveled to Florida. I'm not sure how much revenue was generated by that home game, and we lost anyway. But at the time, Alleva would have been absolutely skewered for losing a home game.

Also, if we had played Florida at home this year, it would have been a totally shitty gameday atmosphere. A 2:30 kickoff fresh off of a loss to Troy? The UTC game probably had a better atmosphere than that game would have.
