Seriously, that was one of the most ridiculous comments I have ever read on here....and that is saying alot!
Thing is there are several people here that actually believe that and feel the same way.
I just dont get it.
I used to never miss a game.. now I rarely go in.
I stay outside and watch it on my tv.. the 95% rest of the people in our tatilgate group go,, I just dont care about going in anymore.
People of all sorts make LSU gameday expeiecne what it is.. not taf memebers, or parking pass holderrs or season ticket holders (all of which I am).

As far as the paid parking in other areas, LSU should offer a season pass at a discounted rate (maybe $25 per game with an additional trailer pass for 25 more) and then have the $40 gameday pass available to people. It would eliminate some of the confusion and cluster-frick of everyone going to pick up their passes and give a discount option for the long-term crews.
this for sure. I think this is the biggest gripe with the whole situation.

so who would get a season pass under this system if demand exceeds parking spots? The only way to fairly sell season passes would be a lottery system and then you risk the chance of not being picked.

tailgating was surprisingly slow all around on Saturday
lot W has tons of premium unused spots at noon
same thing for the levee lots where i setup

If it pisses off this douche it must be a good thing.

Yeah, Im crazy.
I'm not sorry you won't pay $40 to park.
Deal with it or walk your arse from BFE.

Hey pal.. dont get your feelings hurt when you make an utterly stupid comment and you get called out on it.
Thats exactly what happened.

The problem is for someone who has to come from out of town to buy a pass in advance to make sure they can tailgate is a little tough to do.
My family will not be going to any games this year (unless I have to take customers) directly because of the cost to park
My TV is In HD and my recliner is free. I'll just get my wife to wear a short dress and boots and......... God I miss free parking!

Season passes could be distributed the same way the others are, no need for a lottery.

It shouldn't be more than 20 bucks.

I've said this from the start... why LSU would want to do something to DISCOURAGE one of the best and finest traditions this school has is beyond me.
Money is what it's all about, at all costs.

mamou, what time did you typically arrive on campus when it was free?
Posted on 9/12/11 at 8:24 am to tritiger
I think charging for parking is long over due.

Im pretty certian this is what most people are saying.
Make it more reasonable.
20 bucks for a car and 20 for your trailor wont keep people away.
90 for both will.

Compared to what a season pass cost, $40 a game is cheap.

The thing is, they are actually losing money this way.
Charge 5, 10, 15, even 20 dollars for parking in those lots and they would be full.
But 40? You'll have empty lots.
Now do the math, if lots are nearly empty at 40$, say 20% (I'm being generous) full, that's 40x.2=8 times however many lots there are
Now, at 10$, those lots would be full.
So, 10x1=1, times the lots.
That's profit they are missing out on.
Even at 20$ those lots are at least 80% full.
20x .8 is 16!!!
Obviously no one with a math background is doing any thinking about this
ETA: sorry for the typo
This could quite possibly be the worst argument in the history of arguments.
Last year: 2,000 spots - all full - $0 revenue
This year, even if only ONE person pays to park: 2,000 spots - 1 spot occupied - $40 revenue.
Winner? This year.
And when I walked through campus on Saturday, every lot was at least 75% (ish) full.

I'm not your pal, buddy.
You called me out on my personal opinion, so what? Pay the $40 to park or write a letter to the Athletic Dept. and cry about it ad nauseum.

that would actually take away more from tailgating than how it currently is IMO
How would you distribute the season passes? What happens if more people want to buy them then there are spots, how do you decide who doesnt get them? Then it woudl create a underground parking pass "ticket exchange" for people who get the season passes then don't want to go to every game...it has to be individual game by game to leave the tailgating tradition somewhat intact, they already sell season parking passes
