Exactly...a 12 oz BOTTLE is $4...they’re charging $10+ for draft...which is significantly cheaper than bottles...it’s expensive at the dome, point blank...

Let me know where a 32oz draft, can, bottle or any other domestic beer is a lot cheaper than $10.

I would be happy if the students that attend now actually get into the game. It's like they pretend to be too cool to cheer. My goodness, make some frickin noise people. Get off of your phones!

Speaking of making some noise, Didn’t the Cajundome used to have one of those large noise level sticks and It would light up as the volume would go up? They need something to get people Into the game. I’m one of those that have to yell at every play and feel uncomfortable when I feel like I’m sitting in the library. Yes, it gets very loud at times but it’s very inconsistent.

Yeah, I agree. Despite the good attendance the last home game, it was really quiet at times. The best atmosphere we have is still at the Tigue. And with basketball it could get so loud, and they have two of my favorite ul cheers: 'CaaaJUUUUUNS BaaaaaaaaaLLL!!!!' and 'you let your whole team down!!!' Lol.

I can’t argue further bc I don’t know the exact prices and sizes of beers at the Cajundome because I refuse to pay for what I recall being expensive beer...but I do know that soft drinks are $6 for a small and you can get an xtra large for around 79cents at Circle K...I can’t imagine they’re margins are all that different on 2 fountain/draft style products.

Edit: Very first place I looked up to compare prices: the Tap Room. Draught Bud Light is $3.50 for a pint (16 oz).... $10+ for 32oz is a rip off.

I would guess that at least 1/2 of the student population at UL is under the legal drinking age. They cannot even sell beer to these students, so what is the difference how much it costs?

Surely people of limited means (including students) can go a couple of hours without a beer. This is not why the students do not show up for games.

Of that half, 3/4ths have a fake id!

Or all you need is 1 friend that can buy for the whole crew...

I totally agree with you that the concession prices at the Cajundome are really outrageous. What I've never understood is why people have to eat and drink at a game for a couple of hours. Just eat at home before you go and save your money.

And get creative with the alcohol issue.

Pretty simple solution to this...get the pecan police or CD security to stand down, let the rowdyness to insue. Second, for those students under 21, allow for a $5 student dome "feast and flee" special of a refillable drink, refillable popcorn, and a hot dog or nachos...if over 21 the same with a beer option for an additional $5...8 oz draft only, 1 per visit...ain't rocket surgery

Kind of apples and oranges though. People go to bars specifically to drink and occasionally eat, people go to sporting events to watch the sporting event...food and drink are only part of that experience.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Concessions are part if the experience. Kids especially love concessions. Clear plastic bags means far less black market candies smuggled into the dome.

Because basketball games are multiple events the prices shouldn’t be like once or twice a year special events. Surely someone could figure out a way to make it pay for everyone.

This FPC cat said the beer was cheap at the Cajundome compared to restaurants and bars...that’s not the case based of off 1 search result.

Go downtown, prices arent that cheap. I work at several bars that our draft is more expensive then that. Most of them or 4-5 bucks for a 16oz. We dont post drink prices online. I know what college kids are willing to pay for alcohol. $10 for a single shot of patron is outrageous,but we get it for it so why not charge it.

Now food on the other hand is expense at the dome, when you can stop at a fast food resturant and get a full meal for 6-8 bucks. We buy the 32oz beers without a question and will continue to do so.
