Ever increasing prices, limiting/charging for parking/tailgating, and abysmal traffic strategies are going to bite LSU in the arse.
All that, and a crappy product on the field.

Here are the prices LSU wants to charge. Remember, this doesn’t include parking pass/food/drinks.

This is why Joe alleva was hired. To monetize it.

You and your buddies won’t pay for those weak arse tailgates, but companies with lots of money to spend on clients will. Especially since they’re paying for the parking passes, food, and booze already. One less thing to coordinate.
I don’t like it any more than y’all do, but someone will definitely pay for this.

Big stores like Spec's or Total Wine usually have it. I am a fan.

They hate it right now because they’re not making money off of it. They’ll absolutely love it once they can make a few dollars from it.

That’s because they have a very short sided view of profit analysis, tailgating and atmosphere is a marketing expense, and the attempt to capitalize it is hurting more than helping. They are gaining money in the short term and it is costing in the long term. My kids won’t be brought up tailgating before LSU games like I was, and that is going to have long term effects from kids choosing different schools for academia to reduced merch purchases etc....

I don’t see the problem with this. It’s when the mess with existing space that it’s time to bitch.
First they came for the corporate tailgates...I didn't speak out because I'm not a corporation.
Then they came for the fraternity tailgates...I didn't speak out because I'm not a fraternity undergrad.
Then they came for the sidewalk fan tailgates...I didn't speak out because I'm not a sidewalk fan.
Then they came for my tailgate and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Holy crap on those prices. The company is going to make back their equipment costs the first time they rent the stuff out. Pure profit from there on out with the exception of labor. I want to see their liquor and catering costs strictly out of curiosity.
One other thing. I notice the company is out of Dallas. I wonder if this is related to shitty Aramark that has managed to destroy concessions in their first year out of the gate?

About 12 years ago, Arkansas developed several acres of green space by Bud Walton Arena for tailgating and pavilion use. At first it wasn't popular but after the project was complete, it gave an upgrade to both the land and it's overall usage. It just adds to the beauty around the athletic corridor. Give it a chance. It may be really nice.
