Y'all watching this? Incredible student turn out...
Biggest turnout I have ever seen on ESPN Game Day. Their stadium looks big time, yet only seats 25,000. This is great for the SBC.Quote:

We seriously need a area or a Championship Square or a big open area where fans can congregate!
This is why we need to push the festival idea!! I have already gave multiple examples and seriously missing from Cajun Field!
IF GameDay would ever come to UL it would be even more embarrassing than the pitiful crowds at Cajun Field. There's not near enough passionate fans for something like that.
App, JMU, Marshall, Texas St, USM have it. UL doesn't.
Let's just use food trucks as a backdrop....since, as everyone knows, there's more important things to do in Laffy instead of going to something like GameDay..
Isn't thr gameday location often also the Saturday night abc game. I'm guessing not today
Maybe a win today can regenerate the hype of Thursday.
Yeah where would you put the stage? I can’t think of any place!Quote:

Looks like JMU has the game day stage in their Quad
We could do the same.
Yeah, quad or cypress swamp on campus? Would be a pretty look, but nobody there.Quote:

You'd have to do it inside the renovated stadium with the band and cheerleaders in attendance with the few super fans like mullet, Ragin Dave, and Jeaux that would bother to go at 0700.
So it’s not even by there football field!”?Quote:

So what is the main area fans congregate before Cajun games? The Baseball Stadium and the stage outside of Cajun Field?
While it is closer than ours, their quad is really not very close to the football stadium.
We could do the same thing.
Which is right next to their stadium.Quote:

Our quad is like on a whole different campus!! That would never work. It would have to be somewhere around Cajun Field.Quote:
