Why does LSU need a parking garage? There's more parking available around the campus than most schools in the league.
It's the LSU nation's duty to bitch about anything and everything

It's been an honor to serve the rant.
With that being said, LSU's parking and traffic situation at the moment is atrocious and has been getting exponentially worse every year since around 2009 (not that the traffic wasn't horrendous before, but at least the parking wasn't so bad).
I'm so glad my SO's family will have a parking pass this year.

Neck massages from the female cheerleaders would be a good start.

I agree to a certain extent. He's right though in that in comparison to the rest of the conference, our parking situation really isn't so bad.

What do you want me to say?
Parking isn't a problem, due to much land & multiple parking garages.
Piped-in music--to the exclusion of the Aggie Band--would cause a riot the moment it occurred.
Shiny and new video boards (the country's largest in college) are plentiful.
Top-notch sound system.
A new expansion.
Great variety of concessions.
I wasn't trying to be obnoxious, and I'm sure other Ags could make their own suggestions.
I just don't happen to have any.

Easier solution: You can only park on campus if you have a ticket.
Gets rid of all the people who only come to party and take up huge swaths of the parking available so they can set up their sound systems to play their shitty music and trash the campus.
This is simply too logical. Get out of here with that logic!
Logical? You don't see any problem with policing every street that goes in and out of campus to make sure everybody in every car has a ticket? When are you going to start this? Wednesday afteroon? Friday at Midnight? Sure, that'll work. Will all of the students that don't want to go to the game, please leave on Saturday....

At LSU, campus has gates. During the week, the gates are down from 7:30-4:30 and you have to have a special pass to open them. On gamedays, the gates are closed with attendants there to check for parking passes. Checking for a ticket would be just as easy.

traffic would stretch to New Orlenas and it would take hours to get on campus.
Also, as an alum of AU who donates annually but does not really enjoy being crammed into a 12 inch seat next to a drunk sweaty fat guy, I would laugh at anyone who said I could not come on MY campus bec I did not buy a ticket to the game.
I would say, "No, I will be tailgating on my campus and then afterwards spend my money in the city at bars and restaurants and hotels and you can kiss my arse."

Not really. They already check everyone at these gates. It's $40 to pass. Traffic getting in is only a problem for the big games.

It already does. Highland Road, Nicholson Extension, Aster Street, and Nicholson drive can be traversed already without passing through the gates. However, to park in the interior of campus is expensive and often cost prohibitive. 2 years ago for the Alabama game, there were less than half as many tailgates in the Enchanted Forest as compared to Mississippi State in 2008, before the extra restrictions were put in place. It's a huge difference and can be felt in the traffic after the game, in the atmosphere before the game, and in the stadium.

1. Remove all tailgating restrictions on North Campus
2. Hire a group to monitor and help take care of the trash and sanitation on campus during Gamedays. Putting out a few extra cardboard trash cans on the quad wasn't ever going to cut it.
Otherwise, we've improved the sound system and cell service in the stadium during this offseason. Not much more they could do except to expand the concourses and do some aesthetic work on the stadium.

Do away with the majority of ads and games on the jumbotron during big games. You can keep them for the cupcakes.

I see a couple of chairs, two tent structures, a couple of coolers....somebody could have a decent yard sale after a home game, or go camping.

1. More MDB with better songs/melodies. LSU's band should be the model for this. I wish they played the chorus from "Sweet Home Alabama" everytime we got a first down/defensive stop. The whole crowd will get into it with "ROll TIDE ROLL!"
2. more highlights of other games.
3. I wish the city had a free bus/trolley system on gameday to take people back and forth from downtown. Would help the parking problem. I also believe this would help distribute traffic to other parts of the city.
Beer sales is not important to me. I have a personal tradition of sneaking whiskey into the game. will not change with beer sales.

Auburn has been doing this for a while...it seems to work pretty well.
