Let’s hope we can buck that historical trend
Acadiana still sucks. (When it comes to supporting the Cajuns)

A. 50+ year stretch I think 34 were played on Thanksgiving day.
Early 1900s through the 1950s

Back then the temporary fad colors were burgundy, pewter, gold and gray.
Black is destined to join them.
Re: Cajuns vs Troy attendance prediction.
Hoping for at least 16k+. Should be over 20k on senior day with an 8-2 team.
Did some digging to get an idea of relatively recent averages going back to Bustle's final year (2010) and starting the Hud boost in 2011. Not sure if these will make anyone feel better or worse.
2010: 17,383
2011: 29,171
2012: 22,865
2013: 25,976
2014: 25,775
2015: 21,596
2016: 20,224
2017: 15,751
2018: 18,551
2019: 18,203
2020: NA
2021: 22,493 (21,073 without the 31k for the SBC Championship)
2022: 14,997
2018-2022 Attendance Average: 15,965.80 (guessing this has 2020 mixed in there to bring the average down, but I didn't include them here)
------------------------------------------------
2023: 16,664
2024: 18,443 (so far)
