They’re only there for the party. At least if they charge them to park, the university gets something out of the deal.
This doesnt get enough attention.
Did I hear correctly there may be as many as 40,000 people on campus for home games that have no intention of going to the game?

I wish somebody would buy land and build a high rise parking garage near Death Valley. They could run shuttles back and forth.
The garage roof parking would just now be getting cleared from last years Alabama game.

What’s wrong with people wanting to enjoy a party? I may go to 1 or 2 games a year but tailgate every home game. I went to most home games when you could get student tickets for like 5 bucks, but ticket prices are silly these days.
LSU has always set the standard for the tailgate scene. Sounds like folks in this thread are opposed to it.

Old front 9 free parking for tailgating is all blocked up with construction equipment for the new dorms.
Per the June Board of Supervisors Meeting:
SQ-4 will include the construction of 1,266 beds of housing for First-Year students in two new residence halls at a site off South Quad Dr. currently occupied by the Touchdown Village East Lot. SQ-4 will also include the construction of off-site improvements, parking at the Old Front 9 and the mobility hub at Park & Geaux (pending University approval of the scope and permit price increases to fund the associated debt service).
Location
The housing component of SQ-4 will be located at a site off South Quad Dr. that is currently occupied by the Touchdown Village East Lot. The site is located across South Quad Dr. from the Colleges of Business and Engineering.
The temporary off-site parking at the Old Front 9 component of SQ-4 will be located at a site off South Quad Dr. west of Touchdown Village West Lot that is currently grass and trees.
If included as part of the project, the mobility hub at Park & Geaux component of SQ-4 will be located at a site off Skip Bertman Dr. that is adjacent to Tiger Park and is currently a limestone parking lot. The site is
located across from the Veterinary Teaching Hospital.
Parking
The SQ-4 site currently provides 1212 parking spaces for commuter students. Once completed, SQ-4 will displace 697 parking spaces, and convert another 515 parking spaces to parking for residents rather than commuters. To help replace the lost commuter parking, the project will construct approximately 350 parking spaces (limestone parking lot) for commuters in an area known as the Old Front 9, further down South Quad Drive from the project site (anticipated use during 2025 Fall Semester). The construction schedule has been designed to insure that over 500 parking spaces will remain available for commuters in the fall and spring semesters during most of the construction period.
Game Day
The site for the SQ-4 buildings is currently used as RV parking for football Game Days. Athletics will relocate the RV parking to other locations, but will use the 500 remaining parking spaces onsite and the 350 spaces being constructed at the Old Front 9.

people acting like drunk entitled assholes at our football games, I don't like a large portion of our fanbase either
We got the frick out of the entire hole of shite and don't have to worry about all this BS any longer; maybe one game a year. Problem solved.

This, and neutering the GBFTL. Play NECK. The pencil dicks are dead set on eliminating the greatest atmosphere in all of sorts.

Bravo! Most people who post on TD never attended college. They don't get it.

Georgewest: not everyone has the same wants and needs, enjoy your tickets and allow the tailgating fans to enjoy what they want. There are more tailgaters that don’t go into the stadium than ticket holders.

New map is showing old front nine as paid lot, but not sure of the price.
