I wish they would just close all concessions and then the only people that would go to the game are the real die hard fans that are actually their for the game not some shitty food and drinks.

Bama’s concessions may be more efficient but I couldn’t find a damn hamburger to save my life. All I saw was chicken everything - chicken tender, wings and nachos…I was severely unimpressed with their offerings.

On another note: their tailgating is akin to the Grove in Ole Miss and the overall atmosphere lacks ithe excitement of Death Valley. Plus, I felt like I was at a Rave during the TV breaks with the constant MC and disco light display.

I’ll take Tiger Stadium everyday.

Can you go 3-4 hours without eating while at home? Why do so many people NEED concessions during a football game?


TTT has never gotten as many down votes as you. That’s impressive!

The grab and pay with 6 cashiers system is how it is in the upper level where we sit in Tiger Stadium. And it is always "volunteers" aka high school basketball teams etc working the registers. A couple times it's been BRCC Man's basketball and I chatted with some of the guys.

I don't go for anything fancy - diet coke and popcorn maybe a hot dog now and then so I can't compare some of the nicer options. I WILL say that BDS had guys walking thru selling drinks in the stands and I've never seen that in the 600s at home.

The problem in Louisiana positions are filled based on friends or family. Other places it happens some but typically someone needs to be competent and qualified before getting the job.

The urinals on the upper level just gravity feed into the bucket.

You have no idea how quintessentially Louisiana this response is.

This mentality is exactly why people like me left the state and maybe come back for Christmas.

Outside of the water, LSU does these things at Alex Box. One of the main things hindering Tiger Stadium concessions is space. The concession stands run out of items b/c they have no room to store enough to get them through the game. It is an old stadium and the bathrooms and concessions were the last thing on their minds when they designed it. The Alex Box concessions on the baselines are larger than most in Tiger Stadium and serve significantly fewer people. It isn't that LSU won't do it. Tiger Stadium just isn't built for it. LSU fans are never going to want a new Tiger Stadium and we will never get the concessions we want in Tiger Stadium.

Look, I'm a professional design build remodeler...trust me...there are creative ways to fix functionality issues relative to space limitations.

Respectfully, I don't accept your premise we cant have better concessions without tearing down Tiger Stadium...

Every high level athletics event in America, possibly even the world, has concessions. You can't even take your purple and gold glasses off long enough to see that LSU is fricking this up. You either haven't been to a game to experience how horrible it is or you're just retarded. If you apply this logic to other things in your life, you most likely suck.

When I go to a football game, I expect to watch a football game. I go to the concession before football games for a drink to mix my whiskey in. That's it. When you spend an entire day eating at a tailgate, I don't get why you also need to stuff your face at a game. Especially when it's overpriced, cold, and not good, and you have to wait in a long line to get it.


A couple of things…


Hard to tailgate all day for an 11 am game. And even if you had a big breakfast, you’re gonna be hungry before 3 pm when the game is ending

And none of what you said justifies not having things like water stations available. And it certainly doesn’t mean they shouldn’t provide a better customer experience.

Don’t expect people to attend or stay for a 4 hour event then.

There are approximately 115,000- 130,000 people involved in a Tiger Football game

that's a lot of food and drink in the parking lot spread out all over the campus, while the game, the whole purpose of the gathering is inside the stadium for 3.5 hours

people need to pee, get refreshments especially early in the season when it's hot.

Not everyone is you...not everyone will do what you do..

come on man, have some understanding

DO YOU WANT TO BE ELITE?

stood in line for 5 minutes at halftime! It was so efficient. I asked the lady who rang me up how they did it. She said they were all volunteers and they were actually short handed. They were all middle aged white women possibly working for a charity.

Free water stations with cups. Now that’s a thought. Yet, that will never happen because they give away nothing; everything must generate a profit here.

LSU does not care a lick about the concessions or the fan experience.
