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

This. Unlike College Station/Bryan, TX, there are actually things to do in Baton Rouge, so we have lives outside of our football team that consists of numerous other fun things besides constantly talking trash about the other team I am afraid of losing to.

You know when the public address announcer himself can't make it that it must have been a really tough one for many to attend.
