Good game, nice facility BUT unfortunately one of the event staffers stationed at the right field bleachers told some people that it was "open seating" in that area. Don't know if he believed that or didn't wish to be bothered helping people locate seats for a sold-out game. So folks arriving near game time would find their reserve seats occupied by others who'd been told it was okay. And of course if they tried to move, their original seats were probably already taken. Tulane and LSU supporters alike handled it pretty well and stadium officials were apologetic. I arrived early with my "four-together" seats and no conflict. Had I arrived later I'm not sure my reaction would have been as moderate as others.
My initial visit to Greer. Food was cold, little or no taste, but to be honest about the same quality/value overall as Tiger Stadium. Eat before you arrive at both places.
I was very surprised to see lines for the men's room while none at the ladies. Don't know if it was the make-up of the crowd or if Tulane's designers provided greater accommodation for the ladies or another factor.
Parking was handled efficiently both before and afterward. Altogether a pleasant experience (aided no doubt by the Tigers' victory).

Favorite moment: Receiving $7 bratwurst after 4 different people checked on it; relief & joy mitigated by tasting it. @
