LSU set a concessions record, including selling over 41,000 cans of Michelob Ultra during the football season opener against Clemson this past weekend. The school announced that concessions sales totaled $2.3 million after taxes and credit card fees. The figure also includes only main concourse concessions and not the premium suites and club arenas, per WAFB. 41,138 cans of Michelob Ultra were sold, making it the top-selling item. No. 2 was “Tiger Water” with 33,549 units sold. LSU also announced that Bud Light was the second-most popular beer option, bringing in $119,010.

Fans also ate 7,122 Tiger Dogs, 2,725 orders of nachos with cheese, and 863 alligator poboys. The two-hour weather delay likely helped LSU set the concessions record. Lane Kiffin reacts to LSU’s dominating win over Clemson Along with fans enjoying the food and drinks, they got to see the Tigers beat Clemson 51-10. It was head coach Lane Kiffin‘s debut, and he shared his reaction to the big win while speaking to reporters after the game. “I think that was a really good job by our players, with all the questions about how would they be with what most people think are distractions,” Kiffin said during his postgame press conference, per Glen West of The Bengal Tiger. “They did a great job. I mean, you come out against a quality ACC team, screw up the first series, and give them the ball, and give three points, and you go on a 51-0 run after that.” Kiffin also shared what it was like to be on the sidelines at Tiger Stadium as LSU’s head coach. “It’s great to be on this side,” he said. “I’ve been over there a lot. Three in last place, two at Alabama, the overtime game in Alabama, the overtime game here a couple of years ago. So I’ve been over there when it’s been really intense, and I was glad to be on this side. I see when it is hard to play down, that crowd starts going with warm-ups and the songs and the energy.”
