i normally try to get my extra tickets to somebody who usually can’t swing the cost to take the family or they really appreciate the free tickets.

It's funny that this thread was even started. Do we even need to go into this? I have no doubt that Napier will turn this around but never did I think in the first year. But I also still believe no matter what, we are who we are as far as a fan base. Our ceiling is 20K unless we move to another conference or bring in better OOC teams point blank!
I never stated this was an easy solution, only that this is the only sure way to fill the stadium. But it was very obvious you didn't read the entire thread. See #2.
2. Play those same big schools at their place and beat them. If we beat MSU and AL, then it wouldn't matter if we played Comeaux HS, the stands would be full to see the team that beat the AL's, Michigan's, LaSU's...
I promise you, in fact, I would bet my next 5 paychecks on it, if we beat Alabama, then no matter who we play at home the next game, we will have the stadium filled to capacity. If we had beat MSU, then the rain would not have mattered, the stadium would have been filled.
But if you know a better way to get our stadium filled, then by all means, quit being sarcastic and tell us.
And with ALL that being said...
When you start winning, none of it matters.
My wife, 2 kids and I went. We left about mid way through the 2nd quarter because we have a 1 year old and he can't make it too far into games with 6 pm kick offs.
Some mixture of the family goes to every game. We missed 2 seasons a couple of years ago due to living in Denver and missed the hell out of tailgating/football. Even when we're bad, we go. Although a lot of the time I'm the bitter one that wants to boycott going just because I hate to see us lose.
On another note, has anyone talked about raising the domestic 16 oz beer prices to 7 dollars? I spoke to a vendor and he said a lot of people were livid. That sure doesn't help the argument for return on investment. Prices on everything continue to go up.
I like to find the positive in things..
One substantial positive about the little inconveniences and price point changes is the methodical purging of our fanbase of small minded thinkers like CajunRebel. He and his ilk are one of the major reasons why we are still stuck in the dark ages of CFB, and have been for a century.
Wanna be LSU on a McNeese budget.
I can verify that EVERY SINGLE tent space from 257-275 was unused on Saturday! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM WAS EMPTY!!! No clue if they are for sell or just not being used.

Fans came to Grambling, but not a conference opponent??? Was LSU game being at the same time the reason? The little bit of rain that we got? The cost of tickets? Cost of parking? WHAT?
For those that did not come, why did you not go? That was sad what we had in Cajun Field on Sat night, just plain SAD!!!
PM me reason if you don't want your reason posted in public and tied to who you are. I'll anonymously post them in the thread. Only PM, I have gotten was from someone out of the country for work. And that's a DAMN GOOD reason!
I drove from the other side of BR, tailgated in the rain and mud all day, and barely anyone can leave there house in Acadiana and come to the game? We are a sadder group of fans that I thought.
