Interesting football scheduling

[Sonsissymia]

_ LSU doesn't benefit from playing non BCS in state programs on the road. No stadium can seat as much as Tiger stadium, so LSU would lose revenue in playing such games. I think its good their playing in state programs on a rotating basis, until it becomes not in the programs financial interest.

The Cajuns haven't sold their 6,000 ticket allotment for the LSU game, so this might become a problem down the road. _

is this true? i hear the jags are bringing 20K to cajun field, but the cajuns won't buy 6K tix to tiger stadium?

_ That would be SWEET! I could be wrong but I could have sworn I heard ND was playing a game in San Antonio this season? _

A game with UL would be unreal---the largest public Catholic school in the US against Notre Dame----A huge Mass with both Alumni and students on the Sunday after at St Louis Cathedral----What a fabulous deal---maybe a Mass on Saturday morning and a Dome game that night!!!!!

They are bringing a lot but they aren't bringing 20K

20K, I'm sure you heard that from Southern fans? My source is the same one that stated Southern hasn't sold their 6k allotment for the game against UL. If they plan on buying walk-up tickets for game, the lines are going to be long.

I think the deadline is approaching soon, we will have to return them if not sold.

I keep hearing the same thing about the 20K Southern fans. If that's the case, then they're going to bring about 5K more than they bring to their own home games because they only average about 15K per game. I think what they're going by is the fact that they bring about 20K to the Bayou Classic and the other Classic game in Houston. That's completely different. Those are "events" with bands and socials and formals. It's like Mardi Gras in November. This is a September football game in Lafayette.

I keep hearing people say there's going to be 40K at the Southern-UL game. I'm sorry, but I'm not buying it. I'm going to say 30-35K, at the most. I don't think this game approaches the A&M game, and I'll be delighted if I'm wrong. I think Southern will bring probably 6-8K and UL will have 24K-26K.

Notre Dame is playing Washington St. in San Antonio in October. There was a deal to play Baylor at the Superdome in 2012 (I believe) but, ND decided to pull out of the arrangement before contract was signed. I would have enjoyed making the game.
I really like the idea of neutral site games like Bama vs Clemson/Va Tech. LSU will likely play UNC in Atlanta to kickoff 2010. Not sure if ULL is at the point of being able to play neutral site games but, it would be fun to see since that is the trend in college football.

If the Cajuns have 30K plus in back-to-back games against Southern and K-State, it will be a first in the history of this football program.

That's what I've been screaming. It's just not logical to think they will bring that many people when they don't support it at home. Like you said, the "events" that they bring tons of people are areas with large alumni bases and they are in itself "events" usually against another SWAC team for which they have an interest in defeating. I've been skeptical of their ability to bring that many people and I hope they do not. I do not want to play a home game where the visiting crowd and especially their band, will be louder than the home crowd.

Well, a big reason for not selling out the allotment is because a lot of our fans have attended a game at Tiger Stadium as the visiting crowd and its not exactly the best experience, I'll leave it at that.
