I'm hoping there was sarcasm in that post. With the ignorance of the OP I'm just not sure anymore.

You think TAF has the authority to levy fees onto individuals wishing to come onto campus?

No, I didn't, but since the title of this thread is "Why does TAF need parking fees...", I was curious if I was mis-informed.

Seems this whole thread is pointless then.

This entire thread is worthless since it is an LSU fee and not a TAF fee.

True, but as soon as these Rantards figure out that LSU has approximately $1 billion in "cash" (actually total assets, but hey who cares about facts) they will be asking..."Why does LSU need parking fees...."

Maybe then it will really be "their" spot.

Wow, the number of Rantards that were absent the day they taught reading comprehension is mind boggling.

That's easy to explain. The Tards of Tiger Rant in question are all currently enrolled or graduates of a Louisiana public high school. Reading comprehension. What reading comprehension?

Because we all continue to pay whatever they tell us to pay, end of story.

And to boot, a portion is going to the LSU Foundation (Academic portion) to combat budget cuts. There was a story in the Revielle about it. The AD is going to be lucky if they're allowed to keep 30% of it.

Good morning sunshine!

Let's see when did LSU first start having permit lots?

Huh?

Your original question was:

My response was:

Meaning that for several years now, tailgaters have had to purchase rights on a season basis to a specific plot to park (and thus tailgate) for a large portion of the campus.

You're talking about something completely different. You're talking about the pay lots. I'm talking about the people all around the parade grounds, near the greek theater, up Highland Road, South Stadium Drive near Tureaud Hall, etc. Those aren't permits.

No it's not. You said how long until LSU charge to tailgate in a given area, and if a lot requires a permit to park there...only the people that have permits can tailgate there.

You didn't say the entire campus.

Well since you're so quick to criticize everybody else's reading comprehension skills, let me say that you probably skipped out on common sense, because everybody else knew what I meant. It's really not that hard to figure out.

You're trying way too hard to be a smartass.

No I'm not trying to be a smartass at all. How do you know that everyone else knew what you meant when no-one else responded to you?

You simply were not specific enough in your original post. LSU has had permitted parking lots for awhile, thus has had "permit required tailgating locations". Learn to be more specific in posing questions next time.
