This is BS. Lower ticket prices wouldn't KEEP people in their seats. The folks there have already BOUGHT their tickets. They just leave early. You would think that given how much it costs to go to the game these days that more people would stay as long as they could to get their money's worth.

Wondering if a similar percent of suite and club ticket holders leave early. Hot muggy conditions contribute greatly the first 2-3 games. Also higher tickets prices means more rich spoiled fans unwilling to grind through the whole game.

My company has a suite in the SEZ and we never, ever leave early. In fact, the cleaning crews usually run us out every game. Im not leaving early....period.

Selling beer would be the simplest easiest most common sense way to keep people in their seats and raise revenue without further burdening TAF members.

So it'll never happen.

Nothing. A lot of the LSU fans nowadays are whiny pussies!

Always some bitch arse excuse to leave early.

I've NEVER left a game early! I pay good money for tickets. I don't begin to leave until after the alma mater.

Then I go back to my tailgate area and eat and drink until traffic is gone. Then go back to my hotel (usually someone has sobered up to drive by then). Simple.

Too many bitches among the fan base now. It's pathetic.

All LSU Alums/Fans need to demand that all this irritating and annoying PIM be stopped!

Totally ruining the atmosphere in the stadium. Too loud and obnoxious.

Let people leaving the game turn their tickets in as they leave. Then turn around and sell those same tickets over again as $10 general admission. With scanner technology, it shouldn't really be that complicated. Keep the seats filled and get another revenue source. Some kinks would need to be worked out of course.

Seriously
The weather was hot and humid as frick last night. The first half was exciting but it really did appear as if we were going to be taking a knee on MSU like we did OM that time. MSU is not known for comebacks. Now, if the same happens in a close game against Bama in cooler weather, then I'd worry.

No, he's right. Higher prices means that the KIND of people buying tickets are also the kind of people who just want to be seen, socialize and leave to beat the traffic.

And really, traffic is the number one reason people leave early. It has less to do with their attitude toward LSU. A game that seems like it's a wash, like last night's did at the start of the 4th quarter, is more prone to having people leave early.

Personally, I don't feel like staying through the end of blowout games just to see 3rd stringers score td's.

Well I'm sure the team you're supposedly supporting does.

I stayed til the end, but it was hot as hell. That may be part of it.

But, I agree with everyone who said improve the concessions etc.
Also, South endzone bathrooms are horrendous. Terribly designed and just outdated.

High powered offensive style. Have the players just need new coaches.

Massively improved parking and traffic conditions. IT IS ALL ABOUT THIS. If you live close to the stadium, or you have arrangements that do not make you drive long distances after the game (tailgate or have the time/money/lifestyle/whatever to stay late and wait for traffic to die down), then you will not relate to this.

Traffic has always been the dumbest excuse to me.

If you stay the entire game and hang out at a tailgate (or at your car) after for 30 minutes, the traffic is gone.

- much improved cell and data service
- beer (huge one)
- improved bathrooms, like completely gutted
- improved concessions

Ironically, one of those could easily pay for the other three.
