Anyone else discouraged by the Tiger stadium survey?

I finished it yesterday.... which I feel like I should get something for finishing that marathon, but I'm pretty discouraged at most of what they are hypothetically proposing. While some of it is solid like adding more chair backs and making the councourses more navigable, there were about 10 proposed PREMIUM SEATING ADDITIONS. Everything from larger suites, to lounges, to patios and even a living room set up..A DAMN LIVING ROOM. They feel what people really want is to pay $300 to sit in a living room in the stadium. All in all, don't look for the gameday experience to change back for the better, tailgating will still probably get more corporate, and above all more and more people are about to be priced out. Ugh

A wealthy donor’s “recommendation” will supersede any survey result coming from the common folk.

I’m discouraged by TS being empty by halftime.

The whole point of the survey is to see exactly how much the big money will spend on the games and how to cash in on that.
If they actually listened to the "regular" fans, the concessions would not suck and there would be more/nicer bathrooms.
Lots of the true diehards were priced out of the stadium years ago and there will never be a plan to get them back.

Did they make any proposal to serve edible food at the concession stands?

Get ready to be discouraged. Even if people stick around they gonnabeb tucked away in suites or watching from party patio buffet lines. All of which is gonna run at minimum $280 a game. You know that crowd gonna get loud...

They asked people to rate current concessions which I ripped to shred and rate was important in concessions going forward

People might stay the whole game if they feel like they're already in their living room.

In other words
Are you willing to pay a lot more to attend the game or not?
That was the majority of the survey
I also see where my current tickets have a nice increase in store as well
I guess they need to make up for the covid losses across all sports

With every game being on TV now and how expensive gameday weekends have become nationwide for the common fan, more premium seating, luxury options, and amenities is the way of the future and what most programs are doing now with their facilities. The race to cram as many people as you can into stadiums is over. Many stadiums are reducing capacity and increasing premium seating right now. This isn't just an LSU thing. Don't like what everything has become, but it is what it is

I tallied "Not Interested" in all of these new "Corporate" type seating arrangements. I love my current seats and won't move to any of these new options. I mainly asked for:
1) Improve the concessions; remove current vendor
2) Improve the stadium sound system
3) Don't move to "Corporate" tailgating
The game day experience will be just fine "post-Covid craziness" with minor tweaks but not major overhauls. I do like the new developments across Nicholson, nice options to have.

This is why I don't get it...so the answer is make gameday MORE expensive. Why would anyone pay over $1200 for a family of four to watch from an in stadium couch instesd of their couch. Even if you're like me and have a seat in the upper chair backs, the price of this is gonna get passed on to you. I can feel my days of driving in for home games coming to an end

This is such a bs myth
Even when LSU is good you can go to any game except Bama for $50-$90 a ticket. Thats cheaper than most concerts are
I'd also bet that most of the lower bowl has been season tickets holder for 20+ years and/or younger alums

Copy and paste what I asked for minus sound system. I guess that hasn't bothered me really. I also marked not interested to everything but the wider concourse with more concession options

Because people pay for a lot of stupid shite
Why would you pay for south endzone stadium club thats not a good viewing experience and not covered when you can pay half and see better and still drink in the stadium?
But yet all those tickets are sold
