Re: I had a great time with Tech fans yesterday
Trust you all made it home safely and happy you enjoyed the place I love dearly.
Best of fortune to SU and Coach Odums for the rest of the year. I hope that young secondary comes along.
Also, thanks for the pics.
Re: I had a great time with Tech fans yesterday
Glad you had a good experience. That's a nice lookin ride you got.
Re: I had a great time with Tech fans yesterday
If there was anything that I would suggest that you guys work on to improved visiting fans experience would be the parking accommodations, shuttles and available port-a-pot. the walk to JAS was unbelievable.
There were several fans that stayed in their RV's or on the bus, rather than take that hike to the stadium.

As has already been mentioned, our parking situation is significantly better than many, maybe most, of our peers. There is no improvement necessary.
Re: I had a great time with Tech fans yesterday
I remember going to the Ole Miss and Auburn games. Now that was a walk. Not sure where y'all were parked but it's rarely over 10-15 minute walk to the stadium from anywhere I've parked.

They had us park on the other side of the overpass. That was just to much for our older fans to track and not have the accommodation of shuttle or port-a-pots.
Re: I had a great time with Tech fans yesterday
Last time Tech played @LSUBR I had to park at least 3 miles away, along with 1,000s of others.

I park there every game, every year... mostly because I'm too cheap to pay $5-10 to park closer.
Re: I had a great time with Tech fans yesterday
The last time we played Houston at Houston, it was park on one side of Houston and walk to the other side where the stadium was....a 20 to 30 minute walk. plus UH is not exactly a very safe campus to walk across. They make the news down here fairly often for something violent happening on campus.

That's an issue you may want to take up with LSU, it's not a SUBR problem. When visitors come to our campus they don't have a 3/4 track to get to the stadium.
We have shuttle transportation along with port-a-pots to accomodate the thousands of tailgaters to help make their visiting experience as comfortable as possible.

you have less than 15,000 at your games.
Re: I had a great time with Tech fans yesterday
It wouldn't hurt to have golf cart, shuttle capabilites, but we may not be there yet.

Good suggestions. Most of us agree that their should be shuttles to the stadium from campus parking. Port-a-potties would have been nice as well
Re: I had a great time with Tech fans yesterday
I think Statboy makes good points. In the future if we schedule SU, we should try to improve their Tailgating experience. LT can't get them closer to JAS, but we could find a large enough place to accommodate them and provide portable restrooms. You could charge a fee and provide them power and availability to water for the RVs. You could also provide shuttle service for $5 per person which should come close to covering the cost.
Thanks for coming Statboy, SU represented and brought more than ANY previous opponent. Every SU fan I spoke to was 1st class
