Stay tuned folks, a new modern stadium with a ton of empty seats.

Wait, you aren’t expecting a huge marketing push to fill the stadium with thousands of locals and a full student section?
Sarcasm off ….
Guaranteed full house. Hear me out: Faculty and Staff Night every game.Quote:

After the embarrassing events from Thursday, I'd table it until a demo cam is setup and the stadium is actually being knocked down. This timing couldn't be any worse to try to galvanize the "fanbase." We are at Baldwin level apathy right now.Quote:

Laugh [on] Laugh [off] you tired of laughing now?
I would bet the only reason they feel the need to do it now is because of the fallout from the baseball stadium process.Quote:

The problem is 95% of Acadiana has zero clues that the stadium will be renovated.Quote:

Start with two people talking and double it each week for 52 weeks.
