20,000.5

Less than a month ago everyone on here was talking about how we needed a 60,000 seat stadium. Now everyone is predicting 15,000 attendance figures? It's amazing how much the mood changes from week to week on this board.

Has as much to do with being a Tuesday night game, with all that entails as it does with the bad loss last week, and the mood that loss caused. For the record, I also think 60K is too large.

Since the vast majority of our fans live within 20 miles of Cajun Field I don't think the weeknight factor will have a huge effect on attendance. I hope I'm right. People who like to go on Saturday will still want to go on a weeknight. However I do expect a mass exodus at halftime.

If I was anywhere near Lafayette, I wouldn't miss a UL game if it was on a Tuesday morning at 4:30. My optimism for crowds this year faded when we couldn't even get 30K for Homecoming on a beautiful afternoon. That said, I hope you're right, too.

It has little to do with the fan distance to Cajun Field. There's no way we'll see a "Saturday crowd" on a Tuesday night. I do think a lot of people will be looking to bale before Q4. 20k will be a good size crowd. You're still incorrect about the seating capacity requirements for our 30 plus year renovation (45k to 50k).

17,000

Even the mid-week game last night between Oregon and Arizona State, had many empty seats. I would set expectations low. Maybe 19000.

Anybody know of any promotion to get people, players, etc. to the game Tuesday or does the university think national t.v. Is enough. I fear if nothing is done we will look bad, I think we will probably be around the crowd from the bustle days 16 to 18k!
