Watching the game on TV is just better

Sure some will disagree but for the most part the experience of attending the game in person is ludicrously expensive and filled with so much inconvenience.

The other "fans" (aka you aka the rant) only make it worse. You're all awful.

How is LSU (and college football) going to bring fans back into the stadium and on campus for game day?

For a big game, no way.

Absolutely not.

Well, I feel that if you're a true fan, there's nothing better than the feeling of being in that stadium with 100,000 of your closest friends on Saturday nights!

I get that it's more comfortable. But I think the true magic is when you go and see a game live that knocks your socks off. I was at 07 Arkansas. I will never forget that. Ever. If I watched it on TV it wouldn't be nearly as memorable. It was my first LSU game and one of the best games of the year in a year of crazy shite.

I was at '10 Tennessee. Again I didn't expect that. That was an entertaining game all the way through. I think the 2nd LSU play JJ took it up the middle for 70 yards? I wouldn't remember it that specifically if I hadn't been there. And the ending. Oh my god I've never seen a legit mob until then. People were fricking fuming. And then the finale. It's just different than watching at home.

I'm guessing you weren't in the stadium for '03 UGA or '07 Florida and Auburn. Anyone who says those games were better on TV is a liar. Now for the OCC games watching it on TV may be more convenient. However nothing beats Saturday Night in Death Valley against a good opponent. Home openers still give me chills.

The atmosphere
Watching the band come down the hill
Callin' Baton Rouge
Pregame band routine
Doing the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd down cheers(yes I'm a grown man)
Screaming your lungs out on defense
Yelling out T-I-G-E-R-S after a TD
Being able to see the full field to see the play develop

Advertising pollution, the pipe-ed in music, and the OCD ribbon board have diminished the experience enormously for me. I feel like a captive being being force fed, vs letting me largely determine my own experience. Big conference games are all I do in person anymore.

I'm glad that some people were able to read between the lines to see my true purpose for this post. The rest is window dressing.

Unless you have some killer seats, I agree.

The in-game experience is one that everyone should check off their bucket list. But the presentation on TV is eons ahead of what it used to be back in the day. I'd take my TV in my living room every day over most seats.
