How are you not a freeloader if you only go to games when someone at your corporate tailgate gives you tickets?
Im sorry I cant always afford tickets, because I have other bills to pay. so given the choice between paying bills or going to a OVER PRICED LSU game I choose to pay bills. I consider myself LUCKY to work for a great company that does give employees tickets.

In Woodward’s public statements he’s consistently said the LSU football experience is the envy of the nation, let’s not screw that up. But privately I’m willing to bet he’s heard about the things that have declined over the last decade or so. I’m optimistic we’ll see some small improvements this season, with bigger improvements in 2-3 years. We’ll see...

news flash. this year one of the few remaining paved lots for gameday parking was made into a reserve lot. He's not doing us any favors yet.


What lot? Doesn't look like anything changed from last year.

I hate Alleva and like Woodward as much as the next guy, but they have nothing to do with traffic nightmares.



It's primarily BRPD/LSP unwilling to commit to anything, but LSU could put forth additional $$$ for cones, barricades, portable exit signage, and dedicated, coned merge lanes for I-10 and off Burbank & Nicholson.

309 has been a reserved lot for a long time. Or are you talking about the service driveway for the Dairy Store that has like 3 spots? It's showing "reserved" on the un-zoomed map, but not even marked on the zoomed-in version.

Highly doubt LSU pays someone to man that small of a lot.

I believe its the smaller lot. he says only about 15 cars can park there. possibly that entrance area. I don't tailgate there that's just what he told me. He's been back there for a lot of years.

I guess you weren't taught the meaning of the word "parasite" at ITI tech.

Real LSU fans support their university.

Nickel and Diming fans for a buck is bullshite. Bring it back to the free for all tailgating scene and TS will consistently remain full until 0:00.

There is nothing wrong with ITI and smart Tiger fans work for companies that give employees tickets to games.

Call me parasite all you want, but getting tickets for a game is not something I worry about.

You are full of shite and lying to yourself if you don’t think you woydo the same thing

Once the made the pay to park past Highland, a lot of folks I know stopped coming. That by itself killed a lot of the energy walking up to the stadium.

Yep. South Stadium past Highland used to be a sight. Now it’s pretty bland. Well, unless you count that super NOT LAME Block Party shite they started last year.

My son was born in April of 2018 with a little condition that caused us to sell out tickets last year. Easy decision considering. It was the first time I’ve watched a home game from my house in 20 years. It was weird.

Fast forward to this season and he’s doing much better but it’s a lot to ask someone to watch him for that long so we sold them again. Our tailgate spot of over 20 years was razed for the Block Party shite. Parking is nonexistent and we bring too much shite to park and walk with all the gear. I’m hoping Woodward fixes some of this stuff to make it enjoyable again by the time my son is old enough to start going with us.

The fix is actually quite easy. You know the lot in front of the stadium? Charge a king’s ransom for it. The lots to the immediate right, first 6-8 rows, king’s ransom. Everything else 10-20 bucks.

frick, auction them off. Let the big dicks swing those pay checks. Wanna show everyone you are a big shot? Go blow 25k on a parking spot. That’ll show em.
