Will it ever be the same again?

With every single game being on TV, no

The metal bleachers have got to go. I understand maybe they can’t all be removed/replaced at once, but they have to start somewhere. The exterior of the stadium is beautiful, and the inside along the lines and outfield is a literal shite hole.

Cheaper tickets and free parking.

Parking and better after game flow.

If you're going back to Baton Rouge park here. If you need to hop on the interstate park here.

Having to dive all the way into BR and then get on the Interstate adds another hour to the trip home. Plus the hour you sit at a standstill in the parking lot. This is why I love 11:00 games now. I can get home for 8:00.

I tried to address this back at the start of the baseball season and got blasted.
The "fans" on here told me they were
1.Cold (bunch of pussies)
2. Going to Mardi Gras (really? In that woke city)
3. Not interested in early season games (proves not be interested in late season games either).
4. Traffic (age old excuse, not even true in baseball season).

As you can see - they just don't care. They'll show up after a natty win and say " I bin forevaa, geuaxxx tigahhhhsssss".

arse hats.

Winning and consistent play. Doesn’t help the box is not fan friendly. Also doesn’t help that just about every game can be watched on TV by streaming for most.
It’s a lot cheaper to watch from the couch.

I was going to include baseball in my season ticket package but after reading the posts on this board, day, after day, after day, about how bad the team is- I didn’t buy them.
Maybe there are more like me…

1) Quit price gouging on concessions and beer

2) chairbacks throughout the stadium

3) concourse from left to right field bleachers with beer booths amd concessions, some chairback seated areas and have leaning rails with standings tables on them like they do in the upper south deck in tiger stadium

4) more fun atmosphere with fun music to hype the players amd fans up. You can keep the traditional stuff and also mix in some fun stuff

5) Win more

6) I said it once and I’ll say it again, quit price gouging, the beer should be no more than 5 bucks a beer… it’s pure highway Robbery!!

A championship caliber season. LSU fans are different now from when I was younger. Only come out on stronger seasons. Passionate fanbase that got neutered by many things like the corporate push from the university. An example would be the costs. Louisiana is a working class state and the economy hasn't exactly soared the past decade in the state. They constantly raise prices and move the small man out of their seats who were probably the most passionate. Now it's watch it at home on TV unless it's a truly meaningful season. I think that's how a lot probably think now. Too much headache. Lots of other issues too with how the environment has evolved. shite traffic around the area, etc.

I dont think it will ever be the same with TV and streaming the way it is. Too many positives to staying at home unless it is a "Game of the Century type" People use to show up for evey game becasue they only had 1-2 games on TV per year but now every game is on TV for any sport.
