LSU won't have a packed house due to their vaccination requirement or negative test for entry. Did you see college football last weekend across the country? Covid will not be the thing stopping us from full capacity fans. It will be the same things that always have.Quote:

Beat me too it. People are excited that college football is back. In spite of an ongoing pandemic, several fan bases showed out in weeks 0-1. Looked as normal as it’s been in 18 months.Quote:

Yeah, the new normal should be to expect a 15%-20% reduction of your usual attendance at sporting events.
There's only a handful of programs with a with a waiting list for tickets. Those are the only programs that will survive this.
Unless we can bring a Top 25 ranked, regional P5 school to Cajun Field, expect a good crowd to be 20K-25K fans. Expecting 30K fans is a pipe dream. We play in the SBC
Are they putting up that stupid fencing along Congress where the free parking is? Hope they leave enough openings, it’s a pain to walk to an intersection.Quote:

With all due respect this is an awful take. I’m not even sure where to start.Quote:
