Why not just have them killed?

Or our fans can watch the fricking game they pay for. That would fix the empty seat problem It’s the whole stadium. Bunch of entitled housewives running the show in too many sections.

Back in the good ole days, everyone stayed until after the alma mater at the end.
And some of the wives sang it nervously with a black eye.

Nah, west side is mostly owned by corporations. These tickets are freebies they hand out to customers who aren't real fans.

Just charge all corporations triple for tickets. Since some fans have created a corporation just on paper just for season tickets, lets say any corporate owned tickets over six will be charged triple price. This'll free up a lot of prime season tickets for the real fans that want them and will stay for the entire game.

If the BR police knew how to do traffic flow maybe people would stay. I’ve stayed in traffic over 1 1/2 hrs trying to get out of the campus multiple times. Doesn’t make sense.

Things were better when the only cops I can remember were at Stanford and the lakes, Dalrymple and Highland. We would park at the Union or behind Highland Cafeteria and drivers would 4 way stop it all the way off campus. Never took more than 20 minutes to get to I-10

Where are your tickets, exactly?

LSU needs to invest in some sort of Geo fencing devises / technology on their paper tickets & electronic tickets. This can easily be done. First time you are out of the vicinity of Death Valley you are warned. The next time you lose your tickets for the rest of the year (they are recirculated on the secondary market to fill with people who actually want to be there). Third offense you are banned for 3 years. Simple as pie..




Sound very big government of you. Are you all about telling people what to do with their money and the things they buy?

Screw that, I’ll just buy a burner phone for my tickets and leave the phone in the stadium when I leave in the 2nd quarter to go back to the tailgate and beat traffic.

The same corporations whose signs are all over Tiger Stadium? Great idea to piss away a corporate sponsor, not to mention it’s probably an antitrust violation.

Some of you get way more upset when you see an empty seat than our current defensive performance. Why do you feel that sense of shame and embarrassment when some people vacate a stadium?

So pretty much like everyone else, except maybe sub talk about tiger land with vague talk of “getting ahead of traffic.”

The only difference is that the student section is general admission so as folks leave, they compress down, leaving the worst seats completely empty.

We can understand your frustration and embarrassment, you're right it doesn't look good on tv. But if they paid for their tickets they have the choice/freedom to do whatever they want with it. Stay half a game, full game, don't show up, or whatever they want. Our families have never left before 4th quarter coz we come long distance to tailgate and enjoy the full game. But who knows, maybe some really got "sick and tired." Or maybe they were bored or hot and want to go home and beat the traffic mess. We have gotten stuck in traffic for 2 hours for staying through the end of the game. They shouldn't be criticized or punished if they paid in full for the tickets.

Students don’t care about the game. All they care about is getting drunk and killing brain cells.

Stop trying to force people to do anything.
Also I was at the game and the student section was full the entire time.

It was terrible last night that 20% of attendees left the stadium at halftime and another 20% by end of 3rd quarter

Fortunately there's not a chance in hell of this actually happening. Goodness gracious!!

The entire west and east sides were 50% less in the second half. This doesn’t happen anywhere else in the country at this level in a close game. It also happens early in the season at LSU when we still have hope for the seccg and the playoffs
