The only solution to keeping fans in the stands

It was fun Saturday and the usual suspects bolted after halftime.

Weird how teams that aren't even close to the stratosphere of the LSU program have fans that actually stay to watch their team play. Why is this unique to LSU?

I've heard something about a traffic problem that only exists in lsu and Baton Rouge.

Yeah. I have learned that LSU fans are the only people that cant be inconvenienced by traffic.

if i've said it once, i've said it one hundred times. tell the dancers to strip during the course of the game and get fully naked by the final whistle.

problem solved.

Have never understood this.

Lots of threads about attendance and I think everyone is a little bit right. To me the biggest difference now is that all games are available on TV and can be watched anytime and anywhere. Fans know they can leave early and watch the game on their phone on the way back to their tailgate. For a very long time the only way to see an LSU game was to be there. Just not the case anymore. But, after reading so many of these threads I've compiled a handy bullet list of the reasons that have been offered. Take your pick.

• Virtually all games available on TV or any device
• 102K stadium
• Traffic, traffic, traffic and traffic
• 4 hour plus games with incessant TV time outs
• All day tailgating culture with elaborate tailgates
• Weak OOC opponents
• Corporate “fans”
• Social “fans” who arent’ watching/don’t care about the game
• Smart phones social media, lack of connectivity in stadium
• Dated stadium (concessions, rest rooms)
• Loss of “gametime” atmosphere (piped in music, band, etc)

Ticket lottery:

With 5:00 left in the fourth quarter, a seat shall be drawn. Maybe even 1 in every main section. Instead of announcing the seat number, the staff should make its way to the seat. If the seat is occupied and the person has the correct ticket, they shall win a certain amount of money. Do this for every game. Unclaimed winnings shall be carried over to the next week for that section.

You are right. Also, tailgating has turned into an event almost as entertaining as the game. I know people who come out to the stadium for every game but don't even has tickets to the games.

it's a traffic mess. our stadium is too big to handle the volume of parking and traffic.
