You can tell they're hurting for season tickets. On top of that I'm pretty sure there hasn't been a waitlist for at least the last 2 seasons.


This has very little to do with O, and a lot to do with the the fact that season tickets are hard to justify for (usually) one big game a year.

Correct. Joe Allevas entire model has been to squeeze us for everything he can. Which when we were winning worked somewhat reasonably. But renovations to the existing part of Tiger Stadium have been absolutely too far and few between. We'll see how the renovations they're doing this summer turn out but I won't hold my breath. We finally got new tvs after decades of them being outdated. The Aramark deal is a microcosm of Joe Alleva's stance on the fans. He sold out for more money for LSU but essentially left us out in the cold with higher prices, worse food, and worse service.

Kind of. It makes it worse when we suck. When there's something to play for, games against teams like A&M and Arky are still ones you want to attend. When we are fighting for 4th place, those are the easiest tickets to get, and the toughest to get rid of.

Plus:

No priority for parking or tailgating spots for season ticket holders over people who are not even going to the game.

Terrible and expensive concessions.

No alcohol for the peons.

Traffic sucks.

I agree with this. Not that it's the sole reason for no waiting list, but it would be a whole lot more attractive if we were playing The U in Tiger Stadium.

I've been to a few of these out of state openers and if you've done it once, you've done it a thousand times. No longer a novelty.
