PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

154 row 24 seats 15,16

Section 325, Row 13, seats 5-7

Edited to add: How high is 325?

How high is 300 level?

Well I got called- section 316. End zone practically on the visitor's side. I guess this is the priority rcaf and season ticket holders get? I'm going, but not happy.

They are placing people in seats based on the priority they listed (and I see you are in priority 1); your seats have probably been assigned but it takes time to reach everyone. When is the last time you tried calling 1500 people (or whatever the number is). This is a long slow process, but I imagine it is the best possible method to ensure value is given to a) RCAF membership and b) season ticket holders.

They are trying desperately to be finished with the calls by Sunday.

And I would expect there will be a better, quicker process next year - you HAVE to prioritize RCAF and season tickets and UL getting credit for the sales.

Since when do we have 15,000 RCAF members or season ticket holders?

If big RCAF donors can purchase dozens of tickets Ihave no problem with it. We had no such problems in the past enjoy it and party

like hell.

When did you call? From what I have read RCAF came into play but so did the timing of your call.

Loge which is second level. I sit in 303 for saints games and I love my seats.

Maybe the BCS and ESPN made Oklahoma State vacate their win over us.

got my tickets today in section 322. went look on supdome website on the saints 3D seating chart. looks like we are in the corner of the end zone. not too bad considering that is about where i usually watch the games on the hill at Cajun Field.

I mean it is a weekend in New Orleans for UL's first Bowl game in 41 yrs I'm not really complaining about that.

300 level is below the circular signs in the dome. Also same level as club level over 100 dollar seats for saints games

Louisiana-Lafayette finished third in the Sun Belt with a 6-2 conference record but got the New Orleans Bowl bid (tickets, please) ahead of second-place Western Kentucky, which finished 7-1 and beat the Ragin’ Cajuns by 19. NFL prospects to ...

The rest of the story

Got word that our order came in today. Will be in section 155. I'm happy. From what I hear anything in the end zones are good.

This is not Charles Lindburgh flying solo across the Atlantic. It's been done before, by others, so there is a body of knowledge out there that, obviously, was not tapped. I think they should have started investigating how to do this with other schools as soon as we became bowl eligible. It's only two weeks between the New Orleans Bowl and the official bowl invites (last Sunday). It has taken them over three weeks to get to this point and some people STILL don't have tickets. If SDSU is doing this the same way their folks are really screwed.

click on this link. This is the view from your section. Good view if you as me.

section 322, row 14, seats 6-7

Gautier has a good game and it will be close. If he is off, it could get ugly.

Very true. And if Hillman is off, it will get ugly for SDSU.

I found a nice one at Walgreens for 12.99. No peppers. No '-Lafayette'. No yellow.

They should have just waited for the tickets to arrive and perhaps let RCAF members purchase a few days before the general public. You pay your money and walk away with the tickets. They might even have been able to let people choose their sections that way.

I think the deposit-taking was initially done to "prove" to the bowl that we could have serious interest in our fan base attending a bowl game. Although we were pretty sure we were gonna get an invite from the NO Bowl, I think they didn't want to take any chances, given our past history of missing out on bowl invitations. And as a precaution in case the NO Bowl decided to go elsewhere, to make us attractive to another bowl. On the other hand, the ticket distribution system seems to have had quite a few problems. I do think that Scott Farmer and staff will do a post-mortem review to assess changes for next time/year.

I don't mind being part of the learning curve. I guess I'm saying that because I have good seats :P

When getting a bowl bid comes down to a coin flip, the deposit system can win you the bowl bid.

Damn, Bleacher Report predicted a win, we're doomed. Now we just have to hope College Football News predicts you guys win and it evens out

Don't forget that we don't know what is going to happen next year. What if we're in a similar position to a few years ago? For two years, we'll be able to point to ticket sales BEFORE even knowing where we're headed. I love the way this was done. If I've got to wait for my tickets, who cares? I have them in my hand (got them today) and kickoff is still over a week away. That's all that matters is that I leave Lafayette with my tickets in my hands. 41 years, folks. 41 years we've been waiting for a bowl. Enjoy the moment. Savor it. Taste it. Smell it. Touch it. Take some throat losenges with you and let's all lose our voices in the Superdome. These guys deserve a deafening crowd. Let's give it to them.

As an expected 20,000 Ragin' Cajuns fans prepare to descend on the Mercedes-Benz Superdome Dec. 17, both UL and Hooters are offering fans bus transportation to the game. Calling it "the best promotion nobody knows about," Hooters General Manager ...
