How to pack Cajun Field against Texas State?

I don’t think going cheap is the way to go either people want to come or they don’t ! We just have to find a way to for people to show up. We ain’t LSU but they charging 100 dollars a ticket and packing the stadium.

It has to be reasonable though !

Now I say 1 dollar beer night ? That might work lmfao

Like it or not, G5 football is low stakes to most people. To casual fans, Texas State might as well be another FCS game. If you have to explain to someone WHY a match up us important, then those tickets should be $12-15

But again, selling 25k at $12.50 is STILL more money than selling 15k at $20.... and they're INSIDE THE STADIUM.. buying beers, buying food, etc.

If someone is going to the game that 8 bucks don’t make a difference. If they are not “interested in the match up” a 5 dollar ticket won’t make a difference.

I believe that!! Have a place near us that does that to me. Had to ask the wife to not let me have a 2nd, and sure as heck not more unless we’re walking around Gruene for the next hour! LOL

P.S. Lots of good ideas in this thread!!

You guys keep saying this but...

They're NOT going.

Paying $100 for your family to go versus paying $50 WILL affect how many casual fans (especially families of 4+) show up.

If they're not interested in the match up, then you have to sell them on "a day at Cajun Field".. and you don't do that with $20 tickets, $6 hotdogs, and super expensive tailgating

How about a free post-game concert at midfield. Get Better than Ezra or cowboy mouth or some other washed up 90s band that all the white MILFs love. That should do it.

App just put field level seats call The Rock Garden on sale, next 4 home games.
. $150 each a game...

Yes, but they have no other sports to boast about or that people in Boone want to see. Football is really all they have. It's a good thing that they have such a good football following, but it's not always greener when it comes to overall athletics.

That’s not a bad idea. Promote the area football teams to come to the game. From West St. Mary to North Central and from Cecilia to Iota

As others have said, beating Minnesota on the road is not going to suddenly have casuals saying: "dang they beat Minnesota!? Who they play this week!? Oh Texas State.. sweet lemme drop $100 on tickets for my family.. wonder if I know anyone who still has a tailgate spot......"

Now if they beat Minnesota they'll be on the news and in people's conversations, and THATS when you drop the "yeah and they're offering cheap tickets this weekend and a concert at CF before the game"

A win will help.

The non-casuals will be more upbeat and this alone will influence their casual fan friends.
