Forget the hardcore tailgaters for a moment. (OK I can't forget about them) however, to me they are a totally separate game day entity. They are what they are, and as far as I'm concerned HCTG's don't owe the game their presence. I feel about them like I do about the Sesame Street crowd, they both went to an event at Cajun Basin that happened at the same time as a UL football game.

... If it gets to the point where we can't put 15,000 in the stands I will probably feel differently.

Instead of looking at how many fans were in the seats think of how many empty seats there were. My guess is 10,000

Take into consideration that at any moment in time at least 95% of the fans in the stadium are glued to their seats. Meaning, there might be as much as 5% of the fans out of their seats. Some going to the restroom, others getting food and drink still some loitering in the concourse.

Your guess of 10,000 empty seats means (based on stadium size) you figure 21,000 in attendance. I suggest you can add another 1,000 to that (5%) plus the fans sitting on the levees and the people in the suites.

Combined I think there was close to 23,000
