Are we really arguing about the width of seat cushions? It's Tiger Stadium...you shouldn't be sitting down anyway!

As far as electricity, if LSU wants to play it that way there really isn't much you can say. It technically is stealing I guess. However, in the larger scheme of things, the amount of power need to run a few TV's on gameday is such a tiny fraction compared to what the campus is using. I mean just the stadium lights alone use a thousand times more power than every "pugged in" tailgate combined.

The biggest problem with the rules are certain folks will always take advantage of them. Then, LSU tightens them up and it hurts the courteous people just having a good time. It's not the group of 3 couples with their 19" TV plugged into an outlet by the Pentagon that’s causing a problem. It's the group of 50 sophomores that plunk down their 10,000 watt professional stereo system in the middle of tailgates that have been out there for 10-15 years and play "Stunin' Like My Daddy" over and over at full blast.

Same with the generators. Those little Honda generators are so quite you can't even hear them. The tailgate next to ours used to run a TV, Christmas lights, and fans and I never heard or saw a generator. I was talking to them one morning and asked how they were running all that. The guy lifted up the table cloth and there was his little Honda running right along. It sounded like a fish tank pump. I was a foot from it and never knew. Then there are they guys that bring out their 5k watt Colman from the camp and it sounds like a jack hammer all day.

Hopefully campus police will use judgment when enforcing some of these rules.
