I periodically answer text and emails regarding work on weekends.


Great and your service is plenty fine to do that.

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.


It sucks, but if those people didn't go to games the stadium would be more empty than it already is.

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



Because everyone that is more interested in their cell phone than the game heads out to catch up on social media.

True but LSU encourages fan interaction with various social stadium promotions. It is laughable when you can’t participate because of bandwidth issues.

Portable towers. Pretty sure the cell companies don’t give a shite, and LSU doesn’t give a shite unless they can make money off of it

Then don't have the teams just standing there when red hat is on the field. They are just huddled up standing around.

It's actually a freaking joke. Commercial before and after kick offs. Commercials after punts, it just kills the flow of the freaking game and is a momentum killer.

CBS is notorious for making a one hour game last 4.

Attract more fans that are smart enough to realize that AT&T is trash.

you realize that what cell service is good is wholly dependent upon where you live right? Verizon is no different than AT&T

This. I see people around me posing, filming, sending messages. Jesus Christ just watch the game. NOBODY gives a shite that you are at the game.

Every time I go into the stadium my internet and service goes to shite. This seems like one of the tangible things we can actually improve on. Thoughts?

sometimes I like to read what the rant has to say.

Good call? Bad call? did he catch it? was it out of bounds?
The replays are shite in Tiger Stadium.

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.
All the little Attention W'ing phone addict freaks are too concerned with being the center of attention while they're doing the Wine & Cheese thing in Tackytiger.

Hey everybody, look at me and validate my existence.

Love the fact that people know exactly what other people are doing on their phones while the game is going on. Phones are not going away no matter how much you rail.

I enjoy keeping up with the scores as they happen, I love ragging my non LSU friends when we're whipping that butt and I will always text my kids when they take too long to get back to their seats.

It's not just social media, although LSU has a huge social media presence. Hell, TigerDroppings is a hoot in-game and a great resource for injury updates, etc across the league.

Don't like it, nobody is forcing you to do it. And those that do aren't really bothering you. It's not the movie theater.

This is the rant. Logic and reason like this is not welcome.

LSU has zero concept of spending money to make money (by making the product attractive to more people) or god forbid, spending money with the goal of increasing fan support instead of figuring out how it can make money in return.

If you have an issue with my checking scores and TD during TV timeouts, you can get off my lawn, Gramps.
most people aren't checking scores, they're checking Facebook and Instagram and other nonsense.

Put the phone down, talk to the people you're with at the game.
