I went. I guess for most normal fans $75 a pop for short notice was too much. I was pretty disappointed with the turnout. yeah, it was a guaranteed win, but it's still SEC football. I bought 3 and took family. Was the first game I attended this season too. Why wouldnt you go? First heisman player (probably) at LSU in decades, couldve broke the 250 rushing yrd mark record, was supporting USCe athletics, one of the strangest games in SEC history, etc. There were a lot of reasons to go.

Anyway, it was a warmup game for me too. going to the florida game next week and had to get my vocal cords some work in.

LSU pulls fans statewide but especially from a 75 mile radius for the core of its fanbase. Giving them so little advance notice means people just can't plan adequately. Part of the same reputation for tailgating goes into a financial commitment to get hotel accommodations, food bought, tailgating equipment and expenses covered, and lastly, time allotted for.

People schedule their lives around Football Season in the Fall. When we have a road game, it's usually chock full of social obligations. Weddings, showers, etc.

Our PA announcer is a guy whose been around LSU since Pistol Pete Maravich was lighting it up in the Cow Palace. He missed the LSU game Saturday because he had to officiate a wedding for friends.

Between work, social obligations, bow hunting season, and just flat out short notice, it's no surprise attendance wasn't what it normally is
