I'd have a lot more respect for the decision if your athletic department would just own up to what it really is. This isn't a safety issue. LSU's sidelines aren't any more dangerous than that of Florida, Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, etc. They wanted to squeeze a few more seats for home fans and to take away some of the "energy" from the visitors' section. Just upping the home field advantage a bit more. But instead of just admitting that's what it is, they come up with this BS story about safety knowing that the end result will be the same - visiting bands won't spend the $$ to come to the game if they can't perform so LSU can use the seats themselves.

Poor decision and I don't think it has anything to do with safety. More like $ IMO. However, they should make and exception for the Aggie Band

Decision reversed, according to The Advocate.

More evidence the AD and others in the administration are clueless gutless idiots.

Was the seating location for opposing bands changed after the last remodel/seating addition? I recall Alleva making a comment about where opposing fans would be sitting this past season, but I don't recall if the band was moved as well.

Please, no one cares about baseball and its still going. The talent level may decrease as parents move their children to other sports, the rules might change even more to try and prevent injury, but the NFL itself will take a lot longer to kill than 15-20 years. It might end up not being the No. 1 sport in the US in 15-20 years but completely gone? Nah.
