I haven't been in a long time, but I'm going to go this year just to see new Quarterbacks... and help further wash away memories of our last game.

Expect 35-40k this year. People want to see LSU on the field as quickly as possible.

We are boiling crawfish as usual for the spring tailgate but I doubt there will be much tailgating going on from the sounds of it.

The Noon kickoff is a terrible time and LSU does a very poor job associated with the event and promoting it

Move it to 5pm start, encourage tailgating, and have the baseball game start at 8pm. Have Bands and food trucks etc. in west stadium lot from noon onward.

Then LSU would charge to get in... They aren't making money on it so they don't care

They are still paying for trash cleanup in the stadium.

From what I understand LSU will not be providing port o lets except for a few around the stadium and limited trash cans as well.

How do the other schools do it that routinely get 90K? Like Ohio State,Penn State, Bama,etc...? Do they charge or is it free? I know Penn State make it a big alumni weekend and those I know who went to Penn State for bachelors degree always make it a point to fly back to Happy Valley for the spring game.

Unfortunately, it probably will be around 25k like others have said. I think that if LSU continues to make it a big deal/celebration like they're trying to do this year every year, then we'll get there in the near future.

The LSUAD doesn't have a clue on what to do with the Spring Game. They just seem totally oblivious to the money making and marketing opportunities here.

Hold the damn thing at night, playing a real game against a team of LSU football alumni and there will easily be 40-50,000 in Tiger Stadium. Not so much interest in watching a controlled scrimmage in the afternoon.

Have a baseball game at 2pm and then the Spring game at 7pm.

That department really needs some creative marketing people. They're really missing the boat on this opportunity to put some butts in the seats.

Unfortunate under. I wish i lived closer, when I worked in New Orleans I never missed a spring game or any Lsu home game. But living in North Al. its just to far.

It will still be under. For whatever reasons, neither LSU (athl dept) or the fans shows up for the spring game.

A change after FOUR LONGGGGG years of JL and JJ alone should set a new spring game record. I say 30k easily.
