If you haven't already received an email about this, you should tomorrow. Ticket prices are $40/person for tailgate only, $100/person for bus + tailgate, $150/person for bus + tailgate + game ticket.

If you don't mind me asking, where is the Ag building? The event Brite listing has the address as Hudson street but if you Google map it with Hudson Ave it's the east parking lots.

The closest building is the Ag commercial building on Pershing but that's where the Houston Cougars are having their event. Then there's the Ag center that's a block away but that's on Andrew Q street and next to the white lot. Just asking cause I wanna be close and not have to walk too far. I'm getting fat and lazy as I get older. Lol

I think it is the building (with 2 dormers above an entrance) that is shown on Google Maps on Hudson St along the tree line just to the side of the Hirsch Memorial Coliseum. If that is it, the walk to the stadium is about 1/4 mile. If I find out something different, I will repost.

Agriculture Building is located on the corner of Pershing Blvd and Andrew Querbes St. across from the Hirsch Memorial Coliseum.

If you go to your tickets in eventbrite, click on View Event Listing, then click on Read More in the About section you will find the updated bus trip and Pregame Party Details. In that section there is a map showing the location of the Agriculture Building.

It will be interesting if both UL and UH are having pregame parties in the same building!

There are several livestock barns adjacent to the stadium and a big arena where the state fair show takes place are you talking about the barns or the big coliseum? Assuming it's the same as back in the 80's. I mean we all showed our calves at the state fair back in the day? Right?

I’m sure some showed pigs, sheep or even maybe a chicken or two . . . maybe we just judged chickens . . .

JP, is there any way we can get updates on how many seats have been sold / busses have been booked? Also, if you have a certain group that you'd like to ride with, can you request to be on a particular bus? If you don't know, no worries. These are just questions I'm getting in conversations with people today.

I know that we were only able to get two busses. Tried for a third but nothing else was available. I don't know off hand how may tickets have been sold but will find out and let you know. If you want to ride with a certain group, I suggest getting to the Alumni Center around 5:45 and put you group together and check in everyone at the same time. That way you won't have to ask people to switch seats.

They have two buses booked and have a third bus if they need it. The reason no plans was made they had to travel to Shreveport to meet with the Independence Bowl to look at facilities for Tailgating and etc. They met with Houston first and the next day they met with UL.

Are there any Ragin Cajun Fan tailgating in parking lots.

They don't allow traditional tailgating. You have to purchase a spot from the state fair in the white lot next to the Ag center, join the alumni group or mope about in the coca cola corporate fun zone. Yeah. Sterilized fun y'all.

The link to register for the party Thursday night is below.

RAGIN' CAJUNS CENTRAL
Thursday, December 22 at 6 p.m. | Chef’s Table by BeauxJax

The party rolls on Thursday evening with fan events presented by the Independence Bowl. Fans can join the UL Lafayette Alumni Association at Ragin’ Cajuns Central at Chef’s Table by BeauxJax, 521 Barksdale Blvd., Bossier City. Complimentary food will be provided, while supplies last, and beverages will be available with a cash bar. Ragin’ Cajuns Central is the perfect place to meet up with fans to watch the Mardi Gras Parade, attend the Battle of the Bands, and finish the night listening to live music on the patio.

Registration link. Hope it works

As of 11:00 am, 90 tickets for bus trip was sold. Was told the two busses have a capacity of 96 and as Tasso stated, a third bus is available if needed.
