Your bar scene is honestly one of the worst I've experienced at a major university. The bars themselves aren't bad but there's like one strip mall with two or three that's kind of in the middle of nowhere and then the rest are all scattered around. You can't walk between any of the areas and none of them have that much to offer where you can stick to it and barhop. And there are no cabs. Not having a centralized nightlife area really kills it

There's a pretty decent bar scene, but it's impossible to get to, and I'm not talking about Tigerland. That place is a shithole.

Hopefully, some of the planning around campus and the Nicholson corridor will make transportation btw campus and downtown a little better, and have a bonus of offering more places within walking distance to the stadium to eat, drink, shop, etc.

And cabs.......god. It's pretty widely accepted that Yellow Cab is in the Mayor's ear.

Yeah definitely. The bar scene/transportation was really my only complaint with the LSU gameday experience. Fans food and tailgating were awesome despite the shitty weather. If you added in a big bar neighborhood right by campus with 15-20 places it would be perfect.

And the cab situation was out of control. It has improved in CS but still isn't great but I started to appreciate it after trying to get back to my hotel from the bars in BR

What's wrong with the North Gate area?

I mean, it could probably use some more bars, but as far as visiting fans go, it's got pretty much everything you need.
