Tell me again why we needed a 102k capacity stadium?

Oh yeah, I forgot. To keep up with Alabama.

Stadium is overbuilt. Too many tickets flooding the market, too many empty seats for 3/4 of the games. But it's built. Not getting any smaller. This is the new normal.

And yeah, we have too many LSU season ticket holders who have no interest in attending the games. I'll get blasted for that, but it was on full display yesterday.

Can't you be happy for even 24 hours after that win?

It’ll be at capacity when the roads and traffic issues are fixed.

Those that sold they're tickets should be embarrassed. If you can't afford the tickets and money is that tight, just give them up.

Why must people find something to bitch about after every single game. The team dominated. The stadium was rocking. We beat the tar out of Georgia, a previously undefeated, number 2 ranked team. Why are some of you so damned negative?

Is OP a season ticket holder who attends every game? If not, you are the problem.

The actual attendance numbers would be eye opening for some people. Somehow someone got LSU to release the actual attendance numbers from 2008-2012 or sometime around then when the stadium was 92,000. It was extremely rare for LSU to break 80,000.

7-8 years ago you would have 92K in stadium and another 60K outside stadium tailgating for big games. Alleva policies have pretty much killed all that.

Dafuq are you talking about. There were about fifty total Georgia fans on the west side lower. The East had a few more. Georgia fans were concentrated in the NEZ visitor section and in the “frying pan” seats of the east upper.

All of this is 100% true. The stadium’s capacity shouldn’t be higher 93K. They need to go in and make ever seat wider and take out a couple thousand seats that way.

I really don’t understand what’s going on with this board.

People leaving early = ok, you paid, you leave when you want
People selling tickets on stub-hub = shitty fan, you shouldn’t buy tickets if you dont go to the game
Pointed out Tiger Stadium has over expanded = downvoted like crazy

The stadium was great. The weather was great. The win was great. My kids were 5 feet from the sorority chicks screaming STTDB.

I think 100k seat stadiums are a thing of the past, But yesterday was great

It was just bad timing. Demand changed about the time it was finished.

Did you see what those tickets were fetching on stub hub? I would have sold mine too.

Ultimately the seats will be retrofitted to be a little wider and the capacity will be brought down to sub- one hundred thousand. You will see more areas like the South Stadium standing areas built.
