1 major thing that needs to happen - either find adequate parking or diminish the size of stadiums back down to 80 to 85K. parking was never a breeze, but with the large additions it's a nightmare.

they also need to address concessions and music. some piped in music is OK, but hell, let the band play.

of course, nothing is going to happen. we've become too monetized. as long as the administration can sell the seats, they don't care whether anyone sits there or not.

even Lord Saban can't get them to stay in their seats in bryant' denny.

None of this has been said before. I commend you on your original thoughts.

How would we diminish our stadium back down to 85k?

I'm OK with some piped in music while the band is moving to and from the field for halftime.

Is the amount of piped in music down a little this season? It seems like it.

How do you make up for loss revenue?

I'M NOT!

Not even CBR at Pre-Game, as it takes the focus away from TGBFTL. Those "Famous 4 Notes" should be the entire focus of Pre-Game.

Move it to the beginning of the second half. Wanna see CBR, then be in your seat for the second half.

The best way to get butts to stay in the seats is to limit the amount of games on the tube. That would reduce the time of the games as well as people leaving early to watch at a bar or tailgate. It's not an overall solution, but it would probably limit the gap in student section that you see after halftime

Turn the bottom 10 rows on both sidelines into bunker clubs with glass fronts. You can’t see the games from first several rows anyway.

You know, if LSU wasn’t so obsessed with competing with an already overly saturated and over built apartment housing market by constructing dorms and mandating freshmen live on campus, and in such a perfect location for parking garages, they could easily have remedied that situation real quick, and we’d already be enjoying it right now, as well as students parking and going to class as well.

Hollow out the lower bowl and create the first drive-in football stadium.

Imagine 20k truck nutted lifted F250s and 85k baws gone wild where you can back you’re rig right up to the field.
This will take tailgating to a whole new level.

The tigers score a TD and 20k trucks rev their engines, horns blazing and beer showers rain down.

This move would redefine Tiger Stadium and create a new standard world wide. It solves the parking, tailgating and alcohol sales in the stadium problem.

GaTiger27 for LSU President and AD.

That's a comprehensive solution.

Why only 20K? Why not 850 million?

What a new and exciting take on a topic that hasn’t been discussed in the history of TD.

Thanks for this totally new insight on the topic of attendance!
