Just because we don't sell out the spring game doesn't mean our fans care less about LSU compared to other fans with their school. During meaningful games, there's still no better atmosphere than DV (baton rouge).

Because all our real fans live in Houston.

And baseball/gymnastics took a lot of fans away.

And everyone is protesting WW cheating

why do we ask this question every year. I was at the house grilling, watching baseball and the game... and then watched the final four. from the comfort of my home. NO BRAINER for me

Because there’s a lot better shite to do on a Saturday afternoon in the spring.

man, this is a practice game. we split the squads up in half and run limited plays. spring games, in general, are way over hyped. the coaches and players would probably better off if there were no fans at all in the stadium and there was no TV coverage. it is PRACTICE!!!!!

It's barely entertaining enough to last through the entire broadcast. I did them in college when there was nothing else to go to at that time, but I've had my fill of in-person Spring Games.

Need to do something to make it more meaningful for both the players and the fans

The format of the way both Miles and Orgeron have run it make it very boring. If they would play it like an actual game it would be much more interesting. Maybe select team captains and let them select their own team. Then play it like a real game. Make it Burrows team against Brennan's team for example. Order of selection would be kept secret so not to cause post game issues that could be disruptive. Or like someone said, play an alumni team. Or maybe some Semi-Pro team.
Regardless right now the format is just extremely boring and it really is just a glorified practice

I prefer to see the toss dives when they actually matter.

Let’s see.

Baseball x2
Beach Volleyball x2
Tennis x2
Track & Field
Literary Rally
Gymnastics

Honestly that’s more of any reason to avoid campus.

All these people acting like their Saturdays are so packed with social stuff that they don’t have time for the only football available for the next few months...

Just admit that you aren’t that into football. It’s okay...

It was a beautiful day and there was a double header against our main baseball rival. People were out getting shitfaced on the old front nine.

Spring games are less and less attended is seems each year. Make it a night game maybe that helps.
