The Left Field Lounge

[GOOD_DAWG2.0]

Seems to me that a better analogy would be someone paying for premium chairback seats, but thinking that because they pay a lot of money for that seat, that they can lay claim to the aisle too. For what it's worth, my only experience in LFL was in 2008, when I was dating a girl at MSU. We had a blast out there, and everyone was friendly. A few ******** can give anyone a bad rep. And if you seriously gave a fellow MSU alum hell for trying to show his kid one of MSU's biggest traditions, you are truly an *******.

B b but they paid $200 for their right to treat everyone like an *******!!!*

Does this deer camp also own the public road that runs in front? 17 No. Your beef is with the road builders not the people driving back and forth.

This thread reminded me of something that's been on my mind for a while.

Does anyone get the feeling that the locals of Starkville have developed a little bit of an arrogance when it comes to us poor "tourists" that just come in town for games and can't afford to, or aren't worthy enough to reside in the gem of the golden triangle?**

For the record, I do love Starkville but let's not pretend that we are similar to Athens or Tuscaloosa. Or even Oxford for that matter. Just being honest. (Not my intent to start a Starkville sucks thread)

It's the Lounge. It's literally the only unique thing we have to hang our hats on. Stereotypes be damned, we get all kinds of good exposure with more games on national TV now. Reckon that might help with recruiting? There have been ******** out there for decades, but if you think the people running those rigs don't earn the right to be a little exclusive on big weekends with all the money and effort to feed and liquor up the thousands of people out there, go 17 yourself. Besides, it's first come, first serve from RCF to the RF foul pole. If you want to pay $10 to get in and set up your own experience, you can do it. Tons of my friends do it. Most of those folks show up when the gates open every damn weekend and are there until long after the game ends. It's tailgating INSIDE of the stadium. Where else can you do that? You just gonna waltz up to the Junction an hour before kickoff and setup your ****? Hell no. Like many people have said, if you want to get in on the party, be nice and strike up a conversation with someone out there. It might not work at the first rig you roll up on, but I guarantee you someone out there will show you a good time if it isn't a Super Regional cluster17.

The new stadium will be great, but the charm of the Lounge will die. I guess all you whiners have something to look forward to.

This ten-fold! I will say my last few cents and inevitable reality that is coming. We all know our stadium needs a major face lift, which is on the way.

The sad part is, I believe the LFL tradition will almost completely die compared to what it is now. The redux will not be as unique as it is now. So, rather you like it or not. Enjoy these 'good ole day's while you can. Been in the outfield since the 80s and I'm really sad and upset major changes are coming.

Just remember though, the Administration is actually more concerned about the safety hazards than anything else. They do everything they can not to get sued by everything that goes on out there. All this is mostly trailer woes, besides child like behavior. I have seen people hit trailer tongues taking serious damage to other mishaps. Yet, as far as I know, no one has really sued the University surprisingly.. I could be wrong but I haven't heard of any major instance.

 

[GTAdawg]

Yeah. I wish y'all would all stay the 17 away!**

So, it is this guy's fault because he killed the deer? Because he went where the PAYING member sent him and got lucky? And was OBVIOUSLY within camp rules to be allowed to do so?

Or is it the camp's fault for not having decent or enforceable rules in place to prevent it from happening? Or is it your fault for investing so heavily into something you can never actually have control of -- due to the actual legislation in place? Nevermind the totally outlandish thought process of you "owning" a free range animal because he showed up to eat in what is apparently year 1 of your food plot management program.

It was a bad analogy and bad example. I'm calling bull on random people taking your seat in a lounge too. If you actually have vested interest that is.

If I can't have it, nobody should have it. ***

 

[Mjoelner]

It's a 360* concourse. Literally the only place in the stadium on the main walkway that you can't stand and see the game is behind the center field wall...

In the new design, there is no reason to cram down in front of the lounges or ever go down into them at all -- since you can perfectly see the game over the top of them and from behind them. And that's where the main "walking path" exists rather than the fakeout wood walking path in front of the lounges directly behind the fence.

From the rendering, there are going to be two tiers of spots in the LFL and the concourse is going to behind the front tier and in front of the second tier. That's why I think the overflow that is used to sitting on the current rigs will congregate next to their old places on this walkway.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Yeah but the

highway leading to your camp is public ROW.
