    We need continuing revenue in the form of season ticket sales. You can't pay for stadium upgrades in the form of individual game ticket sales.
    Never said it was a source of revenue but a reason why we need a 40K stadium, not a 30k one.

    Our attendance says it concerns a lot of people...Our highest attended game is 32k that didn’t involve Mcneese or southern bringing boat loads of fans or Texas A&M or Alabama. Home games with power 5’s are feware far between and even more so with teams like Texas A&M and Bama..so unless you are planning to play Mcneese and southern every year no reason to build anything bigger than 40k and that’s probably still too big. Build a stadium for 6 Saturday’s ever year, not a stadium for 1 game every 5 or 6 years.

    Basketball and Football will continue to play ____ty schedules as long as we are a G5 school. Substitute SMIss for La College and you still have poor attendance.

I also sold two of my games and got 40% credit for this years season tickets. It’s such a better value it cannot be measured. Concession prices at the dome are slightly higher.
    I could only pay $50 a game for 2 tickets & free shuttle ride .. If I chose that route

    And btw, averaging 28k per season would be an unbelievable accomplishment for our program, and indicate we are one of the most vibrant G5 schools in the country. There is nothing to be ashamed of for having crowds between 25-30k in today’s environment.

    And i still think attendance will keep dropping...people’s attention spans are getting smaller and smaller especially younger people. Hard for a family to drop that kind of money if their kids struggle to make it to half time. It’s not just here, it’s eveywhere and there are a lot of different variables effecting it.

    Can't disagree with that. Add to the fact that participation in youth football is in decline (20-25% by many accounts) which will further add to a decline in fans for the sport in future years.

    Gambling is another variable. If you like betting why would you go to a game when you could sit at your tailgate spot or home and follow all the games you have money on? The bottom line is make the stadium as high end as possible. Purists will hate it, but the experience is more important than the size of the stadium.

    Would look great to have additional 15k fans on top of the 15k diehards in attendance every Saturday...your 2 for $50 is great for the individual fan.... but as someone stated earlier...$50 tickets aren’t going to pay off the new stadium debt...you need more people paying into the parking, tailgate, excellence fund accounts to make it feasible....

    This is just more of a case to renovate Cajun Field. We don’t know where we will be, we can always keep it around 35k, and if we needed more we could always just expand, and where CajunField is the expansion is easy. It’s already dug in .

    Home schedule that includes Southern Miss, Louisiana Tech, and Rice is a heck lot better than one with Georgia State, Coastal Carolina and ulm.
