imagine the cluster frick trying to leave the stadium at the end. Or what about emergencies etc. dumb ideas yours.
Will be the same as getting into the stadium. A steady line in & a steady line out. Smart people will watch the team shake hands, sing the alma mater, stop to use the restroom, etc. LSU Sports could even air post game interviews on the big screens & game highlights from around the SEC.
What emergencies on the way out are any harder to get to when people are on the way in? The answer is: there aren't.
You're arguing against the idea for the sake of arguing because no one has come up with anything better.
You're not getting home in any amount of time to make a real difference in your day/night. Up to an hour in traffic wastes gas, spikes your blood pressure, etc.

Students would probably quit going all together, or the large majority
Even if this were true, then LSU has more tickets to sell...When the team is doing well again & attending quality bowl games, ticket points earned are a much higher premium. The overall game attendance across all sports improves. Thus improving many aspects of LSU sports.

sell alcohol and more stay, not everyone
I certainly agree. I worked in the Tiger Den Suites the 1st 5 years they were open. I remember the 1st game ended & the smarter people piped up "Where are you going? We get to stay for an hour & there's food, beer, booze, TVs, restrooms, & A/C..."
That's all it took. Always led to great tips too.

So you will penalize people if they are late? Brilliant.

You reward people who are early. You don't reward people who are late.
Same as in life.

Entertain the fans during timeouts... frisbee dog, unicycle bowl lady, anything to entertain the fans. Play other game highlights but important games. Announce important scores. Fan involvement. Have the band play. Neck! Hey Baby.
BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD We know and can probably all list the corporate sponsors of LSU athletics. Quit wasting that time to bore us to death. The experience is much more boring than it used to be.

That'd work for students and priority points

How about go frick yourself.
The market is adjusting to not going to the games. The days of season ticket waiting lists and hard to find tickets are over. Les Miles started it and Joe and Coach O just nailed the final nail in the coffin.

Nah. I'm good.
I'd rather people that want to be in the games for their entirety.

It's about getting people to want to go to games, and not making them. This is supposed to be entertainment. The awful truth is home theaters are causing attending football games to lose popularity Stadiums are expanding suite space, but not individual seats. Watching a game from a suite is a lot like sitting at home.

I've had tickets my whole life. I stay til 0 on the time left minus 1 game a year or so.
It's been exhausting being an lsu fan the past few years. We aren't heading in the right direction. Why should I waste thousands of dollars a year on a product that is going downhill?

This is dumb. They will never ever scan people out of the stadium. Quit suggesting it.

There was once a time that game attendance didn't count towards getting bowl game tickets. A points system was preposterous yet we've had it for years. The system can be improved.
When enough people & the RIGHT people get ahold of an idea for improvement, things improve.

I stay until the end already but there us no fricking way I would renew tickets If they scanned them on the way out. Not a fricking chance

Personally, and that's all I can really speak to, it's primarily piped in stupidity/noise (kills 100% of the organic excitement and electricity). I left last night and felt like I hardly had a chance to cheer - start to yell and some stupid noise would come on. I used to leave and would be hoarse for a week.

I'm not suggesting you HAVE to scan. It'd be a choice. Hell, there could easily be mounted scanners or mobile scanner stations to get to easily.
Posted on 9/24/17 at 11:00 pm to forever lsu30
How about I just get my fingerprints scanned on the way in and out and I give them my cell phone also. I need more people monitoring my activities than there already is. Dummy

Some people may be late by no fault of their own.

Scan tickets in. Scan tickets out.
You arrive early + stay late = TAF points for bowl games, bball tickets, ncaa tourney, gymnastics, baseball tickets, & regionals/supers/cws, etc.
You arrive late +/or leave early = no TAF points.
The added concessions sales will handle the cost of paying ushers to stay later.
The market will adjust. It always does.
