_ I can't believe some people are complaining about having too many people!?!?!?! This is what we want. We will not improve our teams, facilities, etc. puting 14K in the stands. Can we not make some people happy on here. I hope for the same crowd for every game this season.

By the way.....if your gonna blame anyone for poorly run concessions and the lack of beer blame Sodexo, not UL. _

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

And if you haven't learned, people here will never be happy.

Shut the complaining pie holes you bunch of sissies!... it was GREAT. Perfect... never. Perfectly good... you bet. It went off better than I would have ever expected. It was one of the smartest things our administration has ever done. Explanation in due time...

Even with the 41,000, there were many people who could not get in. If the flood gates were opened, we may have seen 45,000. The administration did shut off ticket sales several hours before the game.

If the stadium would have been bowled before this season, and we had 45 or 50k in seats, we would have sold that out too. Maybe Farmer is making a point, the demand is apparently there now lets get the upgrades to Cajun Field done. And lets hang one on K State.

Thats fine... but UL needs to make sure that their contracted company fulfills their obligations. Sodexo was a joke when I was there... Seems they still are...

_ I thought that the university was poorly prepared for such a large crowd. THe concession lines were ridiculous... People were allowed to sit in the aisles and stand on the ramps... Just thought it was very poorly run... _

Good grief! This was a great night in Cajun field history. Some of you people would whine if someone gave you a million dollars.

I had a blast and for a game day crew accostomed to 15,000-30,000, I think they did a great job.

You're hitting on a piece of the overflow crowd logic. We are building political capital. Last night helped... in many ways.

I agree, however, I don't think that UL should bowl in the stadium. The hill is something that people enjoy and I think a horseshoe would be perfect. But I do agree with you. Farmer has a plan. It's only a matter of time until Walker steps down and Farmer is able to take the wheel and lead this program in the right direction.

Yesterday, the college game atmosphere was absolutely fantastic and electric. We no doubt will have issues when hosting an overflowing crowd, but it was GREAT to see. I didn't like the parking situation, but I did my griping out loud and moved on. It was a joy to see Cajun field once again filled to the gills, I was there for Ok State, Alabama and Tx A&M, but this was special. Why? Because we WON!

Hope we had some talented high school seniors for recruiting purposes, it doesn't get better than that.

Another reason for an overflow game. It will pay some dividends and there was some smart administrative thinking behind it.

Now, let's go take KSU!!!

_ I wasn't there, but I wonder if the long lines were compounded by everyone staying in their seats to watch the SU band and then heading to concessions en mass. _

i've been reading about how nobody went to the concession stands during their band's performance. i have to admit that i did, and so did a whole bunch of others. the lines were every bit as long during halftime as they were throughout the rest of the night. but i was expecting that going in and i braced for it. i came through none the worse for the wear. it was like the vehicle line i was in at 12:30 when i arrived at the stadium. what else were you gonna do, get mad and leave? it's a good problem to have to solve.
