This! Why can't we have Community coffee kiosks throughout the stadium? That seems like a no-brainer in the cooler weather (iced-coffee available in the hot weather).

Nice bathrooms. This is a must. I like the other ideas as well.

#1 for me is stop the piped in music. It kills the atmosphere!!!

1. LSU has a campus wifi. Why can't that be expanded?
2. Ohio St started this year after doing a study where they found it decreased binge drinking. I think it will be done within the next 5 years
4. Concourses and bathrooms are being re-done this offseason

I think Texas is profiting huge on alcohol so that may come soon.

T shirt rockets during all timeouts.

Good solid list of suggestions.
I haven't been in ten years, not getting into that. But in the renovations, I hope they leave some "old" details, Tiger Stadium is old, and it should be updated, but still look its age. That's where the mystique and the ghosts come from, along with the memories of the fans. Y'all realize that the lower east and lower west are 90 years old this year? That's critical.
For those of you suggesting the band play "relevant" music, or hip-hop, or whatever you want to call it (not my style,) try to listen to a hip-hop piece, without the vocal. What do you hear? You hear a lot of repetition of one or two "licks" or just the same chords over and over and over and over. Listen to the Marching 100 from St. Augustine, or Edna Karr's band or McDonogh 35 where they blast all the same thing all the time.
Music from a marching band has to have, at least, some semblance of a melody. To play that other stuff is to waste the talent and efforts of 300+ student bandsmen.
I have a friend who works, kind of high up, at CBS Sports. Good guy, friends through cigars. I have complained about TV timeouts to him for YEARS. He simply says: "Tommy, do you want it to stay free for the viewer? You?" and you have to shrug, sigh and say, exasperatedly, yeaaaaaaah."

All the games are on HD Tv now. Sports Bars. It's very easy to tailgate all day. Go home or too a bar/resteraunt and relax, spend far less $, better food, service comfort, times have changed from the 80s 90s.

Free whiskey and cokes during the last five minutes of the game.

The 2 biggest IMO...
1. Modern decent restrooms
2. Open Wifi

Unfortunately, neutral site games are here to stay. Too much TV revenue. Is what it is

If I was ATT i'd partner with LSU/Tiger Stadium and have them put their open access WIFI in TS. Would be good marketing for them.
People might seriously switch to ATT if it meant wifi on game days.
ETA: and we know they're already working on renovating the concourses and restrooms.

OP, great suggestions. I'd like to add one as well. What about a ticket recycle? As bitches an the elderly leave at half time, they could give their stubs to one of several staff members on duty to recycle those seats, and people who wanted to watch the game but didn't have a ticket could then get in and refill the stadium.

Add to this, but these are my suggestions, from my experiences...
1. Open Wifi, because phone service sucks bad in stadium.
2. Sell Alcohol, people like to drink.
3. Bring back more of the traditional Band songs, and get them more involved rather than the crappy music over the system all the time!
4. Flat screens with HD in the lobbies by concessions
5. Bolt on Chair backs on every bleacher seat, people would enjoy some comfort when visiting the stadium.
6. Stop scheduling neutral site games, and start scheduling more home and home openers!
These are all good but as Coach O, or whomever becomes the HC settles in, more fans will stay longer. Miles hurt LSU more than people appreciate but folks in the stands is one. Just like he stifeld the team he stifeld the stadium, unintentionally of course but they are connected

Hi res photo of every section - every game where someone is in your seat at the 2:00 warning? You get a tenth of a point.
If the student section is deemed 85% full at the 2:00 warning, classes are cancelled the next Friday before a home game.
