Nebraska fans are cut from a different cloth. Just about the nicest people I have ever met in my lifetime. It was weird going from Baton Rouge one weekend to Lincoln the next. The difference was night and day.Quote:

Ok, that changes things, LOL. Still impressive
I have a great idea....It won't rival the Nebraska thing, but it would be a big crowd. Chris Stapleton plays at the Cajun Dome on October 14th, we also have a Cajun Volleyball game that day vs South Alabama that is scheduled at EKL. Let's move that game to the CajunDome, the USA game is scheduled for 1PM, the concert is scheduled for 7PM. Make it a party, go to the game, stay at the game and have either rides or something outside the CajunDome like a festival after the game, this will give the CD staff time to move the court and set up the concert venue, while everyone is outside at a festivalish type atmosphere.Quote:

I do not think we have a removable/portable volleyball floor. Vic brought up the cost of setting up and removing the floor. I believe that number is low since we do not have a movable floor.
It is a great idea, and I love the thinking out of the box.
OK, then move Chris Stapleton to EKL. Now that is thinking outside the box!!! LOLQuote:

They sold 80,000+ tickets before they announced the performer.Quote:

Yes, but the vast VAST majority of people came for that game. The stadium cleared out fast before the concert. (I was there.)Quote:
