LSU had a good crowd of 18,565. Not bad considering both the north end zone and the east lower bowl was unusable due to the seats being removed and the concrete being treated. And the south end zone seating was limited due to construction.

No seats...


Construction zone...


How was the attendance at the other games?

A good crowd is under 19k?

This isn't the AAC.

LSU usually have low numbers like that? We have something like 50k tickets sold before the day of the practice even arrives.

They always have low numbers, and only peasants charge for a spring game. Nebraska poor.

Construction is a b*tch, ain't it? We had all the seats taken up from the north end zone and the east side so the concrete can be treated.



You can see what the concrete will look like after treatment at top right:


Only the lower part of the south end zone was made available due to construction at the top:


Can't complain though. At least we got to play the game!

Yep. Only Nebraska, Alabama and Auburn fans find it imperative to show up to PRACTICE 5 months before the season starts.

I don't know what ours was but it couldn't have been over 15k. Hell, we probably had the same amount of people at our double header in baseball yesterday as we did at the spring game

UGA's is on Masters Saturday again this year & that always knocks us down 5,000-8,000. With good weather I'd guess we'll do between 28,000-32,000...

Very sad. It's a glorified scrimmage for the poors.

I don't think it's sad, it's just very different

I went this year only to see the expansion from the inside. Spring games are boring and I never know whether to cheer or say "frick."

That said, I never pass up a chance to go sit in the stadium for free.

This group has also participated in the last 5 national championships, winning 4 of them. Perhaps we are on to something?

Are you the guy that used to post non-stop about high school kids(recruits) and LSU practices


I see no issue with the spring games. When I go to them it is for the same reason I go the games, to spend time with friends and family. Also think it is great that the "poors" get an opportunity to bring kids into the stadium and watch the team.

Is it really any different than a good SEC team playing Georgia State, Idaho, etc during the regular season, glorified practice game.
