re: Can the gameday atmosphere be fixed?

I agree with this post. The RV lot was practically empty. Not many big tailgates going on. A lot of the big corporate tailgates that draw a lot of people aren't happening. I'm sure the cause is multiple factors like the oilfield being down the last several years and the pandemic dragging on. But a lot of it has to do with LSU too. Got rid of parking on side of the road and free parking close so people don't tailgate as much close to the stadium. Prices keep going up every year for everything. Traffic is worse every year with fewer cops directing traffic before the games.

For a family of four: Season tickets in the endzone, drinks, food, etc. is easy $550-$600 a weekend. You can buy a 70" TV for $700 and party at home. The draw to go to the game is getting less and less tempting. Prices won't change so the only thing will be a dominant program.
