[CrazyCajun]

so you went from talking about concession stands being run poorly to fire code! first off,your a douche,2nd i work in the safety business and i promise you, cajun field was in no violation of fire code u ______! some people will never be happy, and i guess ur one of them

Yeah too many people were let in. 31000 is what Cajun field seats. Thats an extra 10k just kinda everywhere. In the aisles. Mass evacuation, equals south american soccer fan tragedies. And I didnt leave my seat in the student section. It was my brother who was trying to get something to drink for his 8 year old. Tisk tisk trying to hydrate a child. Stop selling tickets if logisticly you cant do it. Thats common ____ing sense. You seem to be lacking in that department. Fire codes are there for a reason dingus.

Good for you. First, do you call people douches in the safety business, i think you should. Second, the concessions were not prepared at all. This was a common topic after the McNeese game, and no one called people douches. Third, the fire code deals with the amount of people that can occupy a structure. Thats common sense(again those words common sense seems to be redundant), you dont have to work in the "safety(douche) industry." Fourthly, read my first post, lets not ruin an awesome night with a few shortcomings.

Just got back in to Pensacola. That was quite a Game. Hit the concession stands early bought enough to last. Was very impressed with the majority of the SU fans I came across. Band was phenom! Only thing I didnt like was when they didn't allow the Pride to play at the end of the 3rd Q.

Speaking of saftey issues between Lafayette & Breaux Bridge there was avery bad accident involving 2 or 3 motorcycles. Had traffic tied up for 45 min or more. Saw ambulances heading back to Laf.

Cant believe it it stayed dry at Cajun field. Ran in to rain less than 5 miles East of Laf...rained all the way to BR.

I just got back home as well and came across the same wreck. I was wondering if anybody had any information on that, or was going to check the advertiser in the morning for it.

Who cares about concession lines. If all of our home game even somewhat resembled last nite we would have stadium improvements. I hope we get 41K again for K-State. Probably won't happen, but I wouldn't mind it one bit.

Wow... some real adults on here...

There is no reason the lines should have been back to the rails of the bowl. If you want to be a big time school, you have to run a good show. At the movies, you don't put one guy on the popcorn on opening night of the biggest movie of the year...

No, concessions aren't as important as whats on the field, but as I walked through the crowd I heard many UL fans getting angry and leaving because its Sept. in Louisiana and they have a 20 minute wait for water. I heard very similar statements from Southern fans as well...

Went to the game last night with the wife. Great to see so many people tailgating and so many people in the game. Also, great to see the cajuns whip a lower division team. That is what we have to do and should be expected if we want to be big boys.

This is not a complaint, but just an observation: How in the hell do you run out of concessions when you know that the game was going to be beyond a sell out. You know how much money we were losing. Hopefully the concessions are filled up for the Kansas St game because I think that one will be a sell out as well or close to it.

Overall I think the large crowd was handled good. The line was long to get in, but it moved at a good pace. I don't think anyone should complain about the amount of people, because the Swamp can hold these people. Now we just need to expand the seating in the swamp so those that were in the grass can have seats. I also must note that all the Southern fans I came across were very respectful and looked like they were having a good time.

Also on the way back up I-49, it was pouring from Lafayette to Opelousas. It was hard to see the road. I was thinking that someone was going to get in an accident in that stuff.

All in all great night! Mason looked in full control and comfortable. Sails looked good too. The D Still needs to work on giving up the 3rd and long.
Congrats Ragin' Cajuns!!!

I'm split on the number of tickets sold. On the one hand it is great for the revenue but I think it is a bit over the line when its SRO in the aisles. As for concessions it wasn't bad on the upper deck concourse. They had separate Kiosks set up for those just wanting water or bottled soda so there was no real wait there. There was a bit of a line for those wanting food and drink but I've waited just as long in lines at the Superdome; I think lines are to be expected at almost any sporting event. I do think the admin needs to calculate how many people can realistically fit in the assigned stadium seating and the endzone areas and set that as the max ticket capacity. I would say that is probably somewhere around 39,000 to 40,000 people. Limit sales to that number and I don't think you have quite the congestion in the aisles that we had Saturday.

yeah how about we go back to 10 and 15k people at games so you can get your nachos in time

YEAH, no s.h.l...t....

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I would direct your complaints to Sodexo...the company in charge of concessions....Also the guys that were responsible for getting the right permits for the beer concession.

Now its been a few years since I have been to a UL basketball game but....

they are also the company that makes sure the signs at concessions in the Cajundome say UL.L, and alot of their concession workers sport LSU t shirts at UL sporting events...
