Please tell me you are joking.

Did you notice how the Ragin' Red took over the purple on that page?

It was reported as their third highest attended non-conference game of all time. The point the other poster was making was that this is their second season of the higher 92,000 capacity (new west upper deck). So actually, I think it was the fourth non-conference game at this capacity, not the third.

I was under the impression that the renovation actually slightly decreased capacity but added more of the higher revenue club seats. What's the before and after numbers at Tiger Stadium?

No alcohol? That may be the "official" rule, but last time I was there, the booze could be found aplenty.

when the game was over I could look across the stadium and see the alcohol running down the bleachers of the student section, it was incredible. seriously, myself and my friends couldn't believe it

Here it comes, "most of the LSU fans never went to school there." Well, you know what?, that is the measure of a strong program. The ability to draw outsiders helps increase all funding streams. maybe if the militants like you stopped demanding that UL fans support only UL you would get more fans who are not connected to the school and you would actually fill up the stadium.

As for tax dollars, My family owns a business, I own a law practice and together we pay plenty of taxes. I'll better that the average income inside tiger stadium on Sat is higher than it is in Cajunfield. Look at our luxury boxes that generate more than UL's entire revenue per game. I would also bet that there are more college grads in tiger stadium than pepperfield.

See the thing is, your attitude drives soft supporters like me away from UL.

Having fans that never attended your school is a good thing for your school. Having people that attended your school be supporters of another school IS a problem.

On this score, LSU has no problem. UL DOES have a problem.

Yeah I think the original poster was talking about TAMU. There is much more alcohol outside of the student section at LSU. The student section is where they really search you and pat you down while other areas of the stadium there is no problem sneaking in alcohol. Alcohol is snuck into every stadium though.

Highest EVER non conference.

3rd highest including conference.

ps for others, I get the limited time frame involved.

Appalachian State, North Texas and UL. I was not mistaken. Our third OOC game was moved to Arizona State last year.

I stand corrected.

Highest EVER non conference.

3rd highest including conference.

ps for others, I get the limited time frame involved.

I stand corrected again, sir. Third highest attended in one year and one game at the new capacity. Do I have it right now?
