re: What would keep fans in the stands?

It's hot, traffic sucks, and the opponent sucks. It's not like there were people in the stands 10 years ago in this scenario. The stands won't empty out for a Bama, or Ole Piss, or a good UF or Auburn, or any other team that is having a good season like South Carolina 3 years ago.
The shitty games is the reason i don't get season tickets. I go to 1 or 2 crappy games with my 2 under 5 kids, one shitty SEC game in the stadium club with the wife, and then the 1 big game with friends. $600-$800 for the season usually.
Sell beer, play better opponents, and get a new coach. that's the answer.
I'm there every game barring circumstances beyond my control. It's just as hot on my side of the stadium, I spend a lot more than $600-800 a year, and I'll bet I drive further than 90% of people at the game. But I manage to stay to the end.
Like I said upthread, it's a laziness and entitlement problem.

would end up being the LSU equivalent of "Dome Foam" and would cost about $8-9

Nothing. It's become a social event, its no longer about the football game.

Something naked at the end of the game!

Better traffic control.

After a well coached and played 1st half, the fan knowledge that our mentality is and has rarely been to knock out someone. Therefore, a knock out mentality exhibited by both the coaches and the players in then second half would be VERY ATTRACTIVE.

This really the only problem. The football has become the secondary event of the day. The stadium is nicer, louder and more comfortable than it's ever been. People have become more consumed with narcissistic bullshite like how many likes they can get or who follows them on snapchat or whatever. Throw in the boring product on the field and it's a miracle anyone stays past the 2nd quarter.

Then people would leave because it was a blowout. Quit making excuses for our shitty fans.

Agreed. There have been games when I wanted to leave because we were looking putrid on the field but.....shreveport is not a hop, skip, and a jump and I'll be damned if I gonna run right back out of the stadium an hour and a half after getting there.

Beer x 1000.

Yep. It's almost become too touristy. Like people want to come and see what it's all about but don't really care about the game.
I'm not saying that we have actual tourists at the game, just that most people are there just to say they were there.
For as much shite we give Alabama fans, they don't consistently have a half empty stadium in the 4th quarter of a 3 point game against an SEC West opponent.
Our fans, for the most part, are quite pathetic.

It should be a thing to call out fans who leave early. They should be jeered at as they leave.

Been to every SEC stadium back when I was a student with my frat, and can honestly say, no other fan base empties out of there own stadium faster than ours.

We have terrible fans. Auburn is 1-2, with a coach on the hotseat, but Jordan Hare will be packed and loud, and if it's close, they'll be there to the end. We couldn't even be bothered to show up for the SEC home opener.
Posted on 9/19/16 at 3:08 pm to 19_for_21_boom_win
About 20 degrees cooler would help tremendously.

first off, no one gives a shite about Mississippi State. And of course Jordan Hare will be packed. They are playing LSU. Do you think when we play Auburn everyone leaves at halftime?
Just to be clear, I think it's retarded to leave early under most circumstances. I've left early once in the many many games I've been too. Troy in 2008, and I dont' regret it even though we came back. It was freezing and I had enough of the pick 6's.

They're not some directional FCS school, they're an SEC West rival that beat us last year.
