re: The biggest dent to the in game atmosphere is the growth of all day on campus tailgating

OP is dellusional. During the DiNardo years, campus would start seeing tailgaters setup their campers on Thursdays for big games. You have no perspective, child.

I personally have a great time at my own residence. Neighbors are all big fans so it's essentially an opened-garage block party.

Agreed. I'm very tired by game time.

I’ll always say the same thing. Tickets can be had for cheap, people just don’t want to sit where they are.

Tv access and comfortability at home is the biggest deal. It’s an all day thing for us to attend from the northshore, left around noon last week and got home around midnight. Most people just don’t want to do that kind of grind or can’t with kids.

I am not understanding how tailgating affects the stadium atmosphere?

There’s been several threads today complaining about the game day atmosphere. I think because we played grambling, coming off a bad loss, there were much more locals and older lsu fans going to the game and tailgating than normal who haven’t been in a long time.

We played freaking Grambling, obviously the atmosphere is going to be lacking some, but good lord some of y’all can figure out ways to complain about anything.

If you think lsu’s game day atmosphere is getting worse, I can promise you it’s not. Some of y’all haven’t been to a game in a while and you’re remembering your past in a much better light than it actually was.

Lsu still has one of the best game day atmospheres in the country. If you don’t think so, then take a trip to another college town whose team is coming off a bad loss and also playing the worst team on their schedule.

It’s either that or some of y’all aren’t used to seeing that many black people tailgating
