LSU doesn't need to do that. We are comfortable in our own skin.


Thank you. Look I want LSU to be just as successful as Bama is right now but I want to do it in the LSU way not the Bama way. Let us be us we are quirky, loud, like to party and our lives don't revolve around LSU football for 12 months. We are all in and bring it harder than most fans in the country for 4 months but the rest of the time we enjoy other things.

"What needs to be done?"

Stop having it?

I consider myself as big of an LSU football fan as any and I have never been to one spring game and have zero interest in ever going. It's practice and it's fake at that. It means nothing.

"Fans" can't even make it until the 3rd qtr for regular season games and you expect them to show up for a spring game lol

Just another indicator of how fair weather a majority of the fanbase is. Most overrater fanbase in sports

Change the head coach. Interest will stop ebbing and begin to flow.


Agreed.

And if after the first year interest ebbs away and few show up to his spring game you fire him quick.
And zero doubt that if coach no2 has interest ebbing worse than coach no1 you must fire him and hire coach no3.
If interest is still in ebb he must go as well and hire coach no4.
Its clearly the best plan to increase interest.

Only read the OP and i'm sure someone already said it but there is only 1 thing that needs to be done to increase the #'s.... Win a Championship.

Offer free beer and that stadium will be packed


I'd change "beer" to "alcohol" and also offer free munchies. At the very least, pretzels and peanuts. Swamp Seeds would be a great idea.

Hot dogs and burgers would be awesome.

Who cares about attending the Spring Game?

Most people are content with watching it on SEC Network.

When LSU wins the games they are suppose to win and decide to play offense, the fans will get behind the team. It is all on tje coaches backs at this point. I feel sorry for the players.

Louisiana has more to do than Alabama. We don't want to give up a Saturday to watch practice. Except for Gulf Shores Alabama sucks! That's why the GUMPS obsess over football. They pay for the best coach in the country and have 10 more national titles than LSU,


I didn't go to the spring game this year, but have been the last few years. It's pretty fun to drink beer, eat BBQ, and hit on a plethora of 21 year olds in sundresses. If I'm not going to be on an Alabama beach, or fishing in a world renowned lake, I figure getting drunk with beautiful girls in skimpy dresses and catching a ball game or two isn't so bad. What did you do Saturday?

Countering your stale argument and much to your dismay, LSU finished 2015 #4 in attendance nationally with 102,004 avg in real games.

Where is the outrage for the number of people that show up for the purple and gold world series in baseball?
