what has changed about LSU since you've been going to games

I stopped going and just watch on TV while listening to commentary on the radio.

It's too damn expensive and inconvenient to attend a game in tiger stadium. I had 4 season tickets for 20 years and gave them up after the Dinardo years.

My first game in Tiger Stadium was in 1968 long before cell phones and cable TV. To me Tiger Stadium was this mythical palace where your football legends roamed. It was a time,when more times than not, you listened to the games on either KWKH or WWL and used your imagination to see what John Ferguson was describing on the field. You might get one game a year televised if you were lucky. It left something to the imagination.
Now, my perspective has totally changed. All games are televised, cell phones run rampant and TV commercials lengthen games by an hour and a half. The whole game day experience is commercialized and there is no longer that close knit connection between the team and its fans.
I've had season tickets since 2003 and haven't been to a home game in two years. I have lost much of my passion, but to be honest with you, since Coach O has taken over my fire is coming back. A win over Bama and I may take my place in the stadium again.

In the 80s, you used to be able to stand on N. Stadium Drive right outside the stadium waiting for the players to arrive by bus right at the curb. The crowds were small enough that only a handful of EBR deputies were needed and people just backed out of the way to let the players walk to the locker room door.

You could also do the same for the band. The police motorcycles would come down the hill about 5 minutes before and get the crowd to start moving off the street toward the curb to allow the band to pass - no barricades at all. You could stand on the edge of the street until the EBR deputies moved you to the curb.

As a kid, kicking field goals and playing football on the old turf infield of Bernie Moore track stadium was fun.

The Naty grass lots were nice and convenient and of course LSU screwed that up.

You could park on most grass lots back in 80's and 90's. Now most grass has been paved or barricaded off for games.

Edit: You could play football on the parade grounds with your buddies. Now tents (Greek, Fan, and vender) are everywhere and there are so many people on the parade grounds.

2 tigers
orange bowl.......suck.....national title contenders
excited just to get a ticket no matter what game and how shitty we were
staying the entire game

First Bama game ticket was $18. Next week $116 plus the tradition fund. Parked at Lockett at 4:45 free parking.

One thing lost was the Tiger bait chant when the opposing team ran onto the field.
For years now boos rain down like in every other stadium.
102,000 chanting Tiger Bait would be awesome !
