The best is the question about would you pay a premium for parking that allows easy access out after the game
I can’t wait to see them have cops blocking the avg fan from leaving
More parking garages as well closer to stadium

This is just flat out false

I gave them high marks on concessions and traffic management.

Those aren’t real people….seriously, some people just love to complain about the corporate boogey man.

Premium seating is not a bad thing, just because they threw out a bunch of different option does not equal them implementing them. It’s just information gathering. But, the reality is big stadiums everywhere are bringing capacity down for premium seating.

I like that they are getting feedback on what the fans are interested in and how much the fans are willing to pay for these additions.

Alabama renovated or is in the process of renovating Bryant Denny. In their initial plans the put out a couple years ago, they included tearing out part of their 10ish year old upper deck in favor of a courtyard style terrace area.





They eventually scrapped it from the final plans but it kind of gives some insight into into how design firms/universities are trying to better utilize the dwindling upper deck spaces. You see a lot of these social/activity spaces popping up in stadiums as they try to compete or provide an alternate experience to just sitting on your arse watching the game for 3 hours which you can do just as well in your living room.

What a Joke


Tiger Stadium will die and so will LSU Football, if Those LIVING ROOMS ,Ledge seats , Suite Flex and Highest price options occur for the Lower Bowl.

Chairbacks are a must, but but don't expect the fans to occur the Whole bill in Perpetuity. With outrages price increases. A increase in Season ticket prices could be called for , maybe 100 to 200 per total cost of the season ticket depending on location ... but not in Perpetuity.

The Patio might be a good idea , maybe behind the goal post in the NEZ Section 232 to 235. might work there. And Top of SEZ section 416 to 418.

Real What made LSU Different was how much the Fans Cared, and the atmosphere
that was Created By The FANS , That's why Players wanted to Play in a Monster of a Stadium with FANS who Cared.

All the best LSU, with this decision. Your call could lead to your begging for the Good Old Days.

People complain that Tiger Stadium is not the intimidating place it used to be. That is why. They are trying to cater to the corporations who entertain people by bringing them to the stadium, not to get in to the game, but to eat and drink in the suites.

I have been going to the games since 1966. Some of the loudest games I have been to were when the stadium held 67,500 real fans.

I also took the basketball survey. Same thing. It was all about suites and premium seating. Forget about bringing back the Deaf Dome.

They have to price out a LOT more of y’all before I’m willing to mingle with that crowd.

its all about commercial and business money. Companies can write off any cost.

and, the tickets go to the people that leave early!

Every time there was a place to type I expressed how out of touch this survey proves they are with the fan base. They are rallying behind those who will leave early and literally building them a private road and parking structure to make it easier to worsen the game day experience. Pathetic.

I completed the survey and outside the premium option bathrooms and concession were next heaviest topics.

It ain't about fans...it's about money...think any different and you'll be disappointed.

Then dont watch on TV. Buy you a ticket and enjoy the great concessions...cursing students...parking fees and traffic jams after the game!

I am discouraged about how they won’t send me the survey. I have had season football tickets for over 30 years and even emailed and called asking for the survey. I want to fill it out because they are not addressing the real issues that have made the in stadium atmosphere so much less than other stadiums. The corporate seats are a huge problem (the two next me have been used for 2 games in the last 4 years) but the other problem is the terrible job marketing and promotion do for atmosphere at football and men’s basketball games

That's exactly what the PIMger Stadium crowd has devolved into.

It's "See and be Seen" Corporate give-a-ways, band wagon newbies left over from the 2019 season and a few scattered authentic LSU fans that are actually there to watch the Tigers play.

It would be very interesting to see the actual results of this survey.
