How many Season Tickets are owned by Corporations?

Anyone know what percentage of season tickets are owned by corporations? I'm willing to bet A LOT! Many of those seats in the east and west sections are empty up until kickoff and are the first ones to empty out in 3rd quarter.
These are season tickets owned by corporations who give them out as gifts to clients or prospective clients. The recipients of these tickets generally have no real vested interest in LSU football and are only at the game because the ticket was free.
IMO, hese are the people who aren't as passionate about the game as a regular LSU fan is.
I'm really curious what the breakdown is. Is it available anywhere?
1st & 2nd pictures: Just prior to the start of the game.
3rd picture: Start of 3rd quarter.
Game was 2009 vs USL

the lower part of that 100 section across the wall from where the band used to be is students. I think it's the frat section reserved seats.
Why pick the ULaLa game as a comparison? WTF cares about Lafayette?

My company has 6 tickets. The people we give them to do like LSU. Why else would they want to go?

104 is season ticket holders and rows 12 to about 20 or so are reserved for players family, recruits, etc... Paul Manieri, V-ball coach, Coach Van several others sit their as well.
105 and 106 are student organization. 105 has a lot of soriorities and other student groups on campus and 106 has a lot of frats.

I don't know the extent of corporate held seats and always wonder about these prime seats. They're always last to fill up and first to empty out.

Probably 60%+ are owned by one corporation – T.A.F., and you know how those guys are not true Tiger fans.

Prior to taf fees my former company had 55 tix on east side between the 20's. I know of two others with same amount.I cant imagine they kept them all but u never know.

The gold seats in tiger stadium can be compared to the gold seats at the old box.
But what's the point of picture 2? Nice shot of the student section.

I know of a bank that has some. I wouldn't dare speak of "non passionate" fans with our fans' rep for leaving games early, even at half.

I think that's the section for friends and family too.
Posted on 2/14/11 at 1:44 am to tuan85lsu
yeah, that missing section are for players friends and fam.
edit: I know that's in 106... but is that the greek reserved section?

Tiger Stadium isn't as loud as it used to be and it seems only north and south end zones participating in the "vocal activities" throughout the game.
If I had my way, Joe Tiger Fan would be given priority over corporations.

Here we go. Rich people aint loud! Gotta give the tix to dumb, lazy poor folk who get silly drunk and yell a lot.
But just make sure the academic center and other facilities that attract the top recruits are top notch, right? I suppose all those rich people who aren't "invested" in LSU had nothing to do with that, right? It was the average joe fan.
LSU is better than it ever was. Don't be mad just because you don't want to pay the price of admission.

Most of the lower west side are old tickets that have been passed down for years. To be honest I think those folks covet being able to enjoy the game without having beer thrown on them and being able to enjoy the game without 3000 four letter words flying around.
Every section of tiger stadium is unique. You have the student section, the corporate suites, the average folk in the north endzone (where my tickets are), the old money section, the sunburnt east side day game section, the people that like watching the game with god up in the upper section, and the people that never even go to there seats and just smoke cigs and watch from the ramps.
It all makes for a great experience everytime I go.
