I was the game Saturday. (I have only missed 4 home games in the last 15 years!) Let me tell you, it wasn’t just the Greeks leaving. There were plenty of non-Greeks and non-students leaving too. As frustrating as it is, it happens. It has always been that if LSU is putting somebody away, the crowd starts to thin after half time. It’s sad. Our group is of the belief that the game ain’t over until the clock says 0:00. When the clock reaches 0:00, then and only then can you leave. As hard core as that may sound, we have friends who don’t leave the stadium until the band finishes.


Dzrose93 – The person was referring to reserved student seating but it’s still in the student section. You have to pay a premium. It is generally about $3 more per ticket then regular student tickets that are akin to general admission. Any student or student group whether it’s a fraternity, sorority, dorm buddies, law school or med school can purchase reserved seat tickets. (It’s nice to be able to go to the same seat week after week.) Fraternities are generally the largest purchasers of reserved seating. The Greeks are most noticeable because they dress up for the game. The standard attire for the gents is white shirt and ties with khakis. With several hundred clumped together, they do make their presence known. The reserved seating sections are assigned by lottery but there are certain criteria that have to be met too. The chief among them are grades. Generally, the group with the highest GPA moves the closest to the 50-yard line. Before hubby, I dated a guy whose fraternity had the highest GPA for a few years running. It was awesome to sit on the 40-yard line with chair backs! At least, that is the way it used to work.
