re: Tiger Stadium would have had the usual exodus at halftime.

Once the game was at hand.

No one has convinced me otherwise. People arguing against my point obviously don’t go to games.

Been going to games since the late 60’s and have had season tickets since retiring from the AF in 2013. Have hardly missed a game since moving home.

Get rid of the paid parking lots across campus and bring back the parking policies that were in effect before Bertman messed everything up!

People are now forced to park in their assigned lots versus parking where its most efficient for them to get in and get out.

Get rid of the Barnie Fife rent a cops whose sole purpose in life is to tell you where you have to park and to tell you that you can no longer park in the free lot because it was declared full at 2:30 despite the fact 1/3 of the tailgaters went home to watch the game.

This policy forces everyone to get to campus 5-6 hours before kick off which makes for long day. Then the TV timeouts sucks the energy out the stadium and people start leaving.

Agreed, tiger stadium would have been empty. It’s not different anymore

I would like to present a counter argument. I think the people who end up with playoff tickets would be the people who actually want to be in the stadium instead of the corporate donors who like to leave early.

They beat Tulane, a G5 team, by 30 points for a second time this season even though G5 teams have no reason being in the playoffs. Based on that you’re saying they would’ve stomped LSU even though they only beat them by 5 on the road in the regular season?

Nope. Want to know why I know?

LSU beat A&M 50-7 in 2019. That stadium stayed full until the clock hit 0:00

Nothing lame about pointing out the obvious.
The river limits exit routes, plain and simple. Combine that with existing roads and you're stuck with what we have.

If there were no river, people could disperse to the West and then loop around after a couple miles.

Meh...doesn't matter. Three things dictate the Tiger Stadium environment.

1- Something has to be on the line and the game has to mean something

2 -There has to be a genuine feeling of concern form the fans walking in that LSU might lose the game. I don't mean, they thought LSU would win BIG and now it's close. I mean, there needs to be a feeling (even if unsaid) that LSU might really lose that game before it starts

3- The game needs to be close in the 4th quarter

You don't have those three things and that stadium never reaches its potential. That won't change because it's a playoff game.

Stop with the stadium is “next to a big river”. We have been to games all over the country and our traffic is NO worse. So many stadiums have limited routes in and out of town (we went to Clemson this year and getting out of there was so much worse than LSU) and geographic obstacles. Lame, lame, lame.

It’s really not the same man. College Dr is still built for cart & horse, and the eastbound on-ramps downtown + campus are all like 35 ft cut-ins with no merging lane.

LSU is basically smack in the middle of a massive neighborhood, a levee on one side, a bridge on another, and all the outlets either are or funnel into single-lane & residential roads.

You might get stop-go highway traffic in other places, but you’ll never just sit for 1.5 hours in the ghetto without moving in these other places unless you take an ill-advised route.

On our campus, every route out is an ill-advised route lmao.
