My advice: The season ticket holder sections
can get loud and rowdy, everybody
does get up for big plays, and drinks
are prepared. . . . but
it ain't the student section. Many have sat in their section for decades and they
will defend it from overly obnoxious single-game ticket holders who come in and try to make their own rules.
1. The old farts don't stand the whole game and you will be told to sit the F down.
2. Making noise endlessly when nothing special is going on will get you told to shut the F up.
3. Discrete addition of some anti-freeze to your soda is not a problem. But drunken behavior, staggering, rudeness or spilling your drink will get you pointed out to the cops who will drag you away.
4. Projectile vomiting . . . you can imagine.
5. There are kids in the regular sections. Lots of them. Irate fathers will threaten to kick your ass if the profanity is over the line.
6. The Security guards and cops are mostly "zero tolerence" in the civilian sections, but a little more laid back in the student section. They have indignant, surcharge-paying citizens to protect.
These are Tiger fans, many of whom have done their days in the student section. They are spirited. But many have seen 30 or 40 years of Tiger football and they just don't experience orgasmic thrills at every first down anymore. Their old knees force them to sit most of the time. They don't like somebody yelling "Goooo Tigers" in their ear for the whole game.
The sidelines are very conservative, fairly wealthy, and have the older patrons. The south endzone has a lot of really spirited blue-collar fans and some sections are loud, but not rowdy, drunken, and profane. The north endzone is laid-back and where a lot of LSU employees and retirees are seated. They are very tolerent of the rowdy students in the neighboring sections, but far less so with rowdy individuals in their sections.
That being said, every season-ticket section has a few of its own long-time boisterous types who get away with it because they've paid their dues for 20 years and shared their liquor.
