Yes, there is a park and ride from downtown to campus that starts 3 hours before kickoff.

I’ve actually read or heard conversations about downsizing. Making seats slightly larger.

Let the visiting fans buy those crappy seats and reallocate the better seats to season ticket holders, would be a good place to start. Spread them out along the top rows like the other schools do to us and stop giving them so much space in the lower bowl.

Serious question as I’ve never been to an SEC road game - is this what the rest of the SEC is doing?

I heard they are going to remove some seating and put the bullpens there.

No, and I’m curious do we pull out all the seats kind of waiting on my belittle him I’d love to hear your plans for fixing the traffic. I just don’t get some of the posters here on this board lately.

Absolutely needed. Create a party deck on East side Solar Panel. Put a roof on it and make some money.

It was a better stadium back when it was 68,000 capacity and had dorm rooms lining the entire arena. Also the concessions, even the faux McDonalds burgers and would-be James Coney Island dogs were better than what passes for concessions today.

Downsize, por favor. It's inevitable

The stadium expansions began before every game was on TV with 65 inch High def TVs at home. High price club and premium seating is where it’s at. I’d say every stadium will downsize eventually.

They’d be pissed if they lost 1 Fkin seat in the upper east side. To lose $36 would pain the TAF. They don’t give AF about game experience. Idk where they get their “this is what the crowd wants” info from. Try hards.

I would lower the prices on the nosebleed seats or just fill sections of them up with those banner adds. Got to do something though….

Lol at this “attendance is a problem everywhere!” bullshite that idiots spout here as some kind of arse-covering platitude.

No other P5 stadium comes close to LSU for emptying out and having glaring empty seats even with a 31-31 tie against an SEC rival. Other stadiums remain packed.

Ugh. You want to fix traffic? Open campus back up.

I graduated in 07. I was on campus for some of the biggest games in the last quarter century. The issue is not the size of the stadium. The issue is herding 250k people into the Nicholson corridor.

They just need to make the seats wider. It will cut down on people plus give everyone more room to be more comfortable.

I haven't been to a game since the 2007 Auburn game with the last second catch in the end zone.
I've been wanting to go catch a game but you guys complaining about everything at the stadium and traffic makes me want to stay home in Fort Worth.

Bring back free parking closer to the stadium. Lower prices so that more blue collar fans can attend more than 1 game a year
