re: Refunds and the Tradition Fund

Not taking any side here, but LSU had 45-50,000 season ticket holders opt out last year that got full refunds with no ramifications. The Athletic Budget shortfall was somewhere between 60-80 million dollars due to Covid.
I don't think LSU was willing to do another full refund policy after last year and hold peoples' place in line.
Season ticket renewals were down 4,000 compared to 2019. TBH, when I renewed my tickets, I could have relocated just about anywhere in the stadium so I don't think the folks who lose their place in line will have trouble getting back in, it just may be a better seat or it may be a worse seat.
The vaccination policy may last a game, a month, or the whole season. Folks just need to do what's best for them.

Can't feel too sorry for them. Lots of people were disgusted with all of the SJW/woke things they did last year.

LSU obviously took it on the chin but so did every college, every pro sport, every concert venue... hell - everybody on earth. Whether you agree with it or not, the government has been holding everybody's hand financially to the spoils of everybody else trying to run a business. If that's fair, then ripping the bandaid off like LSU is allegedly doing here isn't the right thing to do.

Like I said, we've all suffered. And the policy on its face might be an ok one in the long run. But announcing it (or actually not announcing it, as there's still no word on this publicly) a week before the season begins is downright savage to the generations of fans and alums who have supported you. Giving fans a warning that this is coming next season would be a little more fair but at the least, far less cruel.

And if they plan on just throwing season ticket holders away like this, how bright is that future? I've been going to games since 1984 and I don't plan on stopping. Watching LSU treat their fanbase like this might change that way of thinking as time goes on though.
