I wasn't. I will be there the Friday after Thanksgiving--if it's raining, if it's cold, if it's Indian summer with a vengeance. And I will stay until the end. I'll do that because I live 500 miles away and don't have the opportunity to go to the games all the time. If I lived in Baton Rouge, I would try very hard to have season tickets. But if I didn't want to go to every game, I wouldn't have them. It's really as simple as that. There are many people with season tickets who apparently aren't really using them. The excuse for the Arkansas game is that it's the day after a holiday, big sales are in the stores, people are still in a turkey-induced coma, etc, etc. But that's all they are. Excuses.
I was there way before kickoff, stayed till the end. East side, 23 rows from the bench. They ran out of the large bottles of water at the stand I buy from, before the 4 th quarter.
I've been in TS when it was both cold as fuck and raining like a mother... nope never left early. I will never attend a LSU game and leave early. To do so qualifies one as a puss.
And they are helping to pay the bills. But there are a whole lot more who are using them and who are there . . . to the end, every game, for 30 friggin' years. And we get tired of low-crowd complaints from people who aren't there and criticize those that ARE.
Tell ya what there hoss, send me your season tickets and i'll gladly sit my LSU fandom ass in those stands every weekend until I die, then you can spend your weekends carousing the nursing homes without listening to people bitch.
I you are one of the ones who ARE there, then we are not complaining about YOU. It's embarrassing to be called out week after week on national television by various announcers. No, I don't have season tickets. If I did, I would not be making most of the home games because of how far away I live. I know some people up here who buy season tickets--but miss the vast majority of the games because it isn't feasible to travel 500 miles 7 weekends every fall. Then, I'd be part of the problem.
You keep saying that, too. My husband inquired a few years ago and was going to surprise me with season tickets. We're currently on a 15-year waiting list. Season tickets aren't readily available. But a couple of years ago, I found incredible luck calling the ticket office the morning of a game--so that's how I go to games now.
Once i'm done with my RN one of the first things I plan to do is try and get me some season tickets... but since I do not live in BR making every home game is almost impossible for me now, thankfully I am able to get to around 2 games a season. And guess what... I do not leave early.
