So … I have spent the cold and wet weekend cleaning up the house in an effort to reduce clutter, etc. Came across this LSU gem … my paternal grandfather’s (John J. Aertker) season ticket booklet (#1890) for the 1936-1937 football season. My 12-year old son thought it was so cool. #LSU #lsufootball

Awesome. I’m inheriting my grandfathers 1962 class ring and several game tickets including to the Ole Miss Cannon run game.

I wonder if they complained about the lack of night games back then too.

But seriously, this is awesome.

That's great. Only three years later Texas A&M would allegedly win a Natty.

Great find. My dad was a student at LSU in 1936. They had some wild times that year.

Believe students were issued these and did not have to pay; students got in free like smaller schools still do today.

So I guess you showed it at the gate and then went in and sat where you wanted like it was when I attended- except we had an ID they punched -

It says you have to surrender it at the gate so the book must have had tickets that we’re torn out- this must be the empty remains-
