Or you could just look at the scoreboard.

They broadcast the scores on the jumbo trons and video boards around the stadium

You don't need to snapchat, tweet, and Facebook every moment of your time in the stadium. Watch the game, and leave your phone alone for a couple hours. You will survive, I promise.


One day you guys are going to realize that the answer to a problem is not discounting the fricking problem.

Good lord.......if you are so worried about the other scores.........sell your tickets to someone else and stay the hell home.

Can you not go a few hours without posting "hey look where I am"?
You know the problem is not the scores...............its you cant post or check who is doing what???

I see you people in the stadium.............and its NOT just the college kids. Its the old guys too.

PEOPLE.............get off your phones!

I know that the University of Texas put mini towers around the stadium and that helped a ton. Maybe that is something that LSU can do?

The damn college kids are overwhelming the network by posting status crap instead of the watching the game

The scores of other games scroll constantly on the banners. Why do you need to check them more than that?

Why do you give a shite what someone else does? You can’t even send a damn text if you are in a group that’s sitting in multiple sections of the stadium. If it bothers you so much why don’t you stay your arse at home. You dumbasses have this mentality for all things Louisiana and LSU and that’s why we’re always behind the 8 ball.

100,000 people on the same couple towers doesn't work very well.

Ever noticed how cell service gets better around 3rd/4th quarter...

I have Verizon and I can hardly post a flame on TD, much less browse for scores.

They should block all cell service inside the stadium. You shitty people and your cell phones are a big contributor to the dead atmosphere in what was once a feared stadium.

Because it take 10 seconds to pull up the scores on my phone and it takes a minute to keep my eyes glued to the ticker to make sure I don't miss the score I'm interested in. Plus, if I pull up the score on the cbs sports app, not only do I know the score, but I know how much time is left, who has the ball, down and distance, how many timeouts each team has, etc. etc.

But because I get shitty service, I do have to rely on the ticker in the stadium and end up missing more of the game trying to make sure I don't miss the score when it comes across the ticker than I would if I could pull out my phone, open the CBS sports app and check the score.

Why stop there? Let’s go back to horse drawn carriages, wood burning stoves and ice boxes while we’re at it.

Thank you Ponchy Tiger.
Totally agree with you.

I sit in section 209 every game. During one of the later game last year.........a grown man approx 45-55.........was on his phone probably 90% of the game. He sat right in front of me........I could see. All he did was post and scroll through Facebook the whole game.

My daughter who is 11 even said.......he has not put his phone down the whole game. Sorry...........but it was very distracting too. Since he was constantly holding his phone in the air to take pics to post......which he did over and over.
