re: How tone deaf is Joe Alleva when it comes to this corporate tailgating company?

This guy just doesn’t get it. You jack up prices to park around campus and then bring in this bullshite. Give tailgating back to the fans, not to some corporate shills.

Again, the guy doesn’t get it. Making a quick buck will have him losing money in the long term. Another example of his incompetence.

But I shouldn’t be surprised by this point.

Tennessee started doing this a few years ago. It's honestly not a bad deal. You pay a price and someone else sets up your tailgate for you with a TV, tent, chairs, grill, etc. I fail to see how this is a bad thing for LSU or fans who may not have the ability to set up a tailgate every week.

Not at those prices. This is solely aimed at corporate money. Someone that wants a guaranteed space every game to entertain. I just don't know how that will sell a 1/2 mile away from the stadium with almost zero parking.

This isn't true. My wife's uncle does this for two games a year at UT with his friends from college and almost everyone around their tailgate were just normal fans. Most of them are normal people who only go to a game or two a year, want to tailgate, but don't have all the equipment and aren't going to buy all of it if they're not setting up a tailgate every week.

Will these companies clean up the filth left all over campus unlike the real fans? Cause the real fans trash the place, like they don’t have much pride

It's not that he's tone-deaf, it's that it's not your tone that pays his salary. The tone that pays him is the tone he's listening to, and he's listening to it with wide-open ears.

He needs all the money he can get so he can pay for his shitty guarantee he gave Miles 4 years ago.



And of course go cheap on hiring 0
