if you're looking for an atmosphere that would rival the 79 USC game or 97 Florida game it ain't gonna happen




Bama '10, '12

Florida '07, '09, '11

Auburn '07, '11

Arkansas '11

Missing a few like Georgia '08 and so on because I don't remember

Bama 2012 was an anomaly, as of late. Tiger Stadium's atmosphere is a giant pussy compared to what it used to be.

There's only an additional 1500 seats. The demand was for suites.

What was the need to add on the Tiger Stadium?

The exceptionally long wait list for season tickets plus needed to raise the number of season tickets available. There is a limit on number of seson tickets they are allowed to sell.

May not be filled, but you can guarantee they'll be sold.

You all realize that no matter if anyone shows up or not, that those seats are already paid for. That's the point.


Exactly...there is still a demand for season tickets even if folks buying the tickets don't go. It's a social status/business thing to have them.

That's what it has become.

Lame. None of those games sniff 97 Florida and 79 USC.

Damn that is going to make driving home at halftime even more congested.


Better leave mid-second quarter.

Pretty close myself. Went from 12 to 8 then to 4 season tickets over the last 6 years.
About to dump the final 4 - just too much expense plus the hassle of getting in and out. You cannot give away tickets to the crappy games. Add the top games in the daytime - enough is enough.
Corporate America is not going to scoop them all up forever when they have smaller margins and are only surviving on artificially low interest rates.
LSU certainly did not need to join the run up the debt crowd.
Just IMHO

It's not about that at all. I would be tickled pink if the atmosphere came back for more than just Bama, so we could live in the present rather than talk about the good ole days.

besides the suites, LSU needs the upper level south end zone seats to put the Alabama and Auburn visitors...

last word i had is that remaining upper level seats on the South will go cheap

season tickets have been sold out every year for decades...considering that, I can't see why they would not add more seats.


A decade .. Not "decades" ..

The only people that are pussies are the ones like you that keep talking about how good shite used to be. And in 97 they were talking about how good it was in 79. In 79 they were talking about how good it was in 58. Y'all are just serious douche bags for not letting shite go.
