The fair weather fans are gonna have to get creative for excuses.

You know $30 tickets are too expensive, but will spend +60 to watch TSAB play nicholls st

Naw, most of the TSAB Walmart wearing bunch get free tickets from their whale donor bosses.

Neighbor is a big Tiger person apparently with great seats. Usually sells off the biggest home game tickets to cover TAF costs; would either go to other games or give away tickets, depending on time game was. Legacy ticket holder, apparently a lot of them do this.

LSU made a mistake by building the South upper deck. They probably have 20k seats too many for today and the future.

We were in Tiger Stadium last Saturday for Oklahoma, as my wife's grandfather is a lifelong Oklahoma fan and this may be his last chance to go to a game, so they turned it into an impromptu family reunion. We didn't plan on actually going to the game, but someone basically gave away tickets in Section 102 to us, so we jumped on the chance to take the kids.

Even at half full (because of the cold), that stadium is just a different experience altogether than anything we could ever hope for. And honestly, I've always said it was because they do 'cooler' stuff than us, but really it's just the sheer number of people in there.

Most people at the tailgate were saying that they didn't expect much of a crowd because of the weather and because their "season is over". And yet that place was loud is all hell. By comparison, if playoff berths are how your fans deem your season a success or not, our season has been over since South AL. So we shouldn't be surprised by the same apathy from casual football fans.

Trying to out-football them is never going to work, but we might be able to out-Louisiana them. But that would require leaning heavily into the "Louisiana likes to party" reputation that defines our state, which this administration seems to avoid like the plague, and LSU embraces at every opportunity

Yep JaxMC.

The old adage "people want to be where people are" is true... at least for a little while.

Agree 1000%

We should have people in Acadiana waiting impatiently every year to circle the dates of the home games on their calendars.

We used to stack 40-50k in the parking lot for a team that didn't have a chance of winning s***, for the simple reason that "that's where everybody else would be"

That's how I feel. We can't compete on atmosphere within the stadium, but we can compete on atmosphere outside of the stadium. Make tailgating great again.
