New Orleans Bowl Attendance 54,728 Outback 51,296

I was there and thought we brought a pretty damn good crowd---Any figures??

Once attending a bowl becomes an annual part of the average UL fans budget, the fans will travel.

Before that happens, New Orleans is the only (sure hit) spur of the moment destination. Houston has potential.

3k....maybe 4k to Monroe last year; maybe 2k to Mobile this year. I don't think there is any way in hell we take 15k to Tampa.

Also, I think destination has a lot to do with it. New Orleans is a pretty good place to go hang out. I think LSU would have traveled better to the Rose Bowl than they did to Tampa.

You sir are delusional. The Cajun Nation would absolutely bring more than 15K to Tampa for a big bowl game against a big opponent. Cajun support of a bowl in Houston would blow the doors of the stadium. Shreveport similar to first NOLA, but less, not much less. Mobile, the night before the big crystal ball game, after all the other games, early January. That is a hard sell to anyone who has been to a bowl or two recently. I tip my hat to the stAte fans on that bowl.

As for Papo Ramos, if the price hurts you probably spending too much on entertainment.

Finally, just heard yesterday that EllisWho in an effort to underwrite their academics passed a huge fee increase to the football fans. That is a hard sell asking people to keep up with UF, Bama, UGA, TAMU in the football wars by simply swiping their fun money for academics.

WOW!! Good morning clowns... (you know who you are) So many folks out there, including some of our own want to remind Cajun Nation to PLEASE KNOW YOUR PLACE!!!

LOL!

In not sure we travel well outside of NO. I would rather see it happen than give speculation. I spoke before of my diss appointment in the number of Cajun fans I seen in Arkansas first game of year. Next year, wife and I planning for Boise, Monroe on road. Of course, bowl to anywhere.

[Bandwagon King]

You cannot compare a regular season weekend game to another team to a bowl game. It' a like comparing broccoli to water melon. And if UL traveled 25k or more to houston or Shreveport for a bowl game, that happens to be pretty much on line with what USC was able to do. I think they are a little bigger school with a little more tradition of winning.

[CajunDawgPound]

I argued with some LSU people and they said the same old thing, "any team can bring 45k if they are only 2 hrs away", would be nice to see us get a bowl in Tampa, how many do to believe we would bring?

About 4-5000 max. Difference in ticket costs and travel would dwindle the nums significantly. r&L fits our budgets and travel to a T, which is why we are not attractive to other leagues....such as SunBelt II (CUSA)

What happened to Tulane and North Texas?
They had shorter drives and showed up in for fewer numbers than Cajun fans but they are in conferences we want to be in.

Exactly. And throw in Middle, Thug-lite, del Bocca Vista Owls and the Goathumpers into the conversation too. None of the travel well not to mention several don't even show for home games.
