Ticket sales?

Yep.

Drop in oil prices is starting to sting a few people in the industry.

Just got to ride it out...the Saudi's will be done with their game of chicken soon enough when they feel the world is bowing to them again. The bully on the block just needs to assert their dominance once in a while.

Damn we play in 8 days......In NO and going check on a Rousses Party....sure hope they have one....has anybody heard anything???

I have been watching for it and checking the web. Don't look like it's going to happen. Hope I'm wrong.

Ask UCONN how much they lost on the Orange Bowl they went to.

Oh no doubt. That game did nothing to push UConn football forward.

Some are spoiled. It's irritating because some of these people complaining that the NOLA is same old, same old are the people calling for heads if we didn't make a bowl. Reference TXST or us a few years ago.
I get the budget, time, etc deals but dont take nola for granted, we might be wishing and hoping for it next year.

It's not an issue of being spoiled. You have to remember that a lot of our fan base is new. They've not sat through the years of awful football. That, coupled with this new societal attention span crisis, of course the numbers will suffer. I don't fall in that group, but I certainly understand and get it. At the end of the day, it's the 4th year of the same. Goes for anything in life, as hawk stated earlier.

Maybe but it certainly is not "the same". If so, we would go to one football game or visit a city once never to return. I get that it does not have the buzz it did even last year and I can't fault anyone for not going, whatever the reason, but, as someone pointed out, I wish they just wouldn't go and not say things like "we are bored, its just NOLA again, bad opponent, etc" That makes us look like a fickle, spoiled fanbase, and maybe we are but there is no need to advertise it!

Would there be any repercussions for us selling 50% of the last couple of years numbers? IF so, what would they be?

Nola bowl officials think we are tired of the bowl, we sit at home next year at 7-5 while they give someone else a shot to make them money.... They give us the "something different" some are asking for, a seat on our couch.

It was the Fiesta Bowl....something I've brought up on here a few times and the number was 1.8 million.

Damn straight I'm going, and I even ADDED peeps to my entourage this year, someone has to pick up the slack around here!
