Not hearing much about it?? I was there but got there really early and had a spot saved, but parking would have been easy. I don't think it'll be that way for any other game, outside of wku. What were y'all thoughts? Haven't heard much about how things went.

Tailgating was ruined. Nobody tailgating on Highland by the AG center. Interior of campus was a ghost town....empty. $40 was far too high. If it was $20, they would have sold tons more.

We walked from Highland, down Tower...then down to the stadium. It was the weakest tailgating I've ever seen for any game.

Hart Lot (free parking) was almost completely full by noon apparently...

ETA: Also, it wasn't really the biggest game, and tailgating still looked pretty good to me.

The free lots and outlying areas were full...pay parking lots were maybe 10% full. This was from the forestry building...all the way down Tower Dr.

Seemed less populated in normally more heavily used areas..even for this type of game.. I assume it will be based on the type of game from here on out... Sad really..they should learn from this and either scale the price to the game or abolish paying for crappy games.. And while the stadium was packed there simply wasnt a many people on campus as usual.. That was the one thing I noticed..

That sucks.
Tax the fans more, money hungry greedy frickers calling the shots, do it all costs.. doesnt matter if it takes away from the best thing (fan wise) LSU has to offer.

The lots around there are season passes.

The AG center lot is free. It was packed full by noon. There are usually canopies set up all along Highland in front of the parking lot, full if people cooking, music, etc. I think I counted 4 of them on that entire stretch.

I was curious how the parking was working out as well. I thought my tailgate would be smaller due to the parking regs but that was not the case.

A few who use to tailgate on the parade grounds showed up to my tailgate and said they are only tailgating 2 games this year (Florida and Auburn). I'm guessing it'll be the same for several groups.

However, for Western Kentucky it'll be a ghost town.

Everything about TS is starting to be weak from the tailgating (bc of parking fees) to the fans inside the stadium. I am disappointed inside the stadium every week, and I'm not talking about people leaving early
