Bar owners aren't worried about it because they are still making a shite ton of money. Of course they would like the area to be nicer and safer, but Tigerland is still packed every weekend during the school year.
And Freds is planning multi-million dollar expansions.

I can get rid of all of them with a battery powered drill and a couple of good thunderstorms.

It was shitty as frick 10 years ago when I was there.
I've been to several SEC campuses and every single one of their bar scenes blows Tigerland out the water. Tigerland is a shite hole.
For their sake, they need to tear it down and start fresh with something better.

Business owners generally do not bulldoze their money printers.

I’m assuming owners are holding out for the when the university inevitably expands?

Likewise they don’t invest a couple million in renovations if it is not going to increase revenue as is the case with Fred’s.

If I were a billionaire investor, I would buy all the Tigerland apartments, the garbage bars (all but Freds), and the houses around Tigerland off of Alvin Dark. I would bulldoze the apartments and renovate the houses. I would then work with the owner of Freds to develop an amazing bar scene that would bring in serious cash. The renovated houses would quadruple in value with the ghetto apartments removed and the new bar scene in walking distance. Theres a lot of money to be made.
Great idea, but should be done near the Chime stree area. Make it a walk-able bar scene from campus like most SEC schools have.

I mean, it was kind of shady back when I was at LSU in the late 90's but absolutely nothing like it is today. It definitely used to be for college students, but from what I've seen in recent times, there are not many young scholars living in Tigerland these days.
I lived there around this time. It was where the non rich college kids lived for the most part. I never felt uneasy walking down the street at night from the bars, Circle K or whatever.

When its customers demand it.
Low expectations by too many in the lower end of the student body.

Yep, I saw the plans recently and it's pretty impressive. It's only going to further its lead as the best bar in Tigerland.

They should care if they give a shite about making a shite ton of money for many more years.
The Bengal was in a shitty neighborhood, and made money until it didn’t.
Everyone has different thresholds for risk. If it keeps getting riskier, things will change quickly. Current customers move on. Newer customers might find other options more appealing.
