We had nice crowds with Hud (Cheerleader extraordinaire) and 9-win seasons. Think about this, what would those seasons look like had we gone 13-1, had a new stadium with all the extracurricular activities and amenities. I think the other piece is getting the surrounding area of Cajun Field to be a gathering place. With the exception of Legend's (which is not family friendly), there is not a good hang out place pregame within walking distance of Cajun Field. I get that we want everyone to be in the tailgate area, but that is not realistic, unless you make the tailgate area filled with businesses. I think the area that is Rouses should have tons of restaurants and bars that people can go and have drinks and lunch/dinner before they head over to the tailgate area.
The other thing about the early Hud years was that it was a lot of firsts. First modern bowl game, competing for a first conference championship, the long winning streak in year 1…it was a first of its kind attraction. That drew a lot of people in.
Now that we’ve done all those thing, and done them relatively consistently, the only remaining “first” is competing for a CFP spot…

Thank you for putting words in my mouth.

How many times do you think you mentioned the lowest attended game of the year?

Y'all do realize we have ODU this weekend and we're not playing the Demons again for a little while
