re: My Frist LSU Football Game Since 2019

I gave up 2 season tickets (section 103, row 44) that were in my family since 1949 after the 2019 season. I figured I would not live to see a better Tiger team than the 2019 version.
The main reason I made that decision was the decline of atmosphere around me in the stadium. For many years, I enjoyed seeing and talking with fans I had gotten to know who sat near me. Over time, these aquaintances disappeared from the area, leaving seats open for corporate purchase. As a result, the people attending games were not real fans of Tiger football but rather folks just wanting to go to a game to drink and party. I very seldom saw these people more than once. During the 2019 season, I recognized only four people near my seats. Rather than a fun experience I had looked forward to every year, going to games became a less enjoyable ordeal
The second reason I chose not to renew my tickets was that at my age, getting to and from the games became more and more difficult Traffic, parking, and walking around the stadium area got to be more of a chore than it had been.
I decided to use my $2000+ I spent on football tickets to follow LSU baseball for road games. I have found that to be a good choice for me.
