New Survey

Yeah, because that side of the stadium is always at a shortage of available seating!

I am excited about the direction of the program as much as anyone else but people have to be realistic in their expectations. We are a LONG way from having to worry about seating issues in Cajun Field. We can 10-2 for many years and not have problems with too much attendance in my opinion. People want to see a good product on the field but they also want it against another good product as well. Until that changes we are still on an uphill climb.

We are a P5 upset away from having seating issues. The marketing uptick, the excitement generating by the recruiting process, add a new stadium and then winning? That’s the recipe.

We aren’t far away.

This is Fresno State Visitor Side or east side this would be the solution about putting premium seating between the 40's on our East side. Still can put Students at the bottom between the 40's.

But do they get into the game and get to sit there at no charge?

TAMU is at 50 in middle & upper decks. ROTC is lower. They also get the sun side like UL BUT they PAY for it. Ticket costs are added into studwnt costs if you attend games or not. Over $500 semester. Students are vested into & as such almost always show up.

Want 50.....pay for it

"Ticket costs are added into student costs if you attend games or not. Over $500 semester."

I posted about this before. If, for example, we add $150 per semester for ticket costs for all students, that is $300 per year. At about 20,000 students, that is $6,000,000 in additional ticket sales or student fees or whatever you want to call them. That is a small price for students to pay and when added to tuition, which is already among the lowest in the country, it is or should not be a prohibitive cost to attending UL. As he stated, students become vested into athletics and tend to show up for games. Athletics can do a lot with a guaranteed $6,000,000 per year.

The 500 athletic pass at aTm is voluntary. What % of UL students do you think would pay a couple hundred nares bucks to buy an athletic pass? I am guessing 10% or less

I agree...would be less than 10% if they have an option. But I think adding $150 per year for entry into ALL sports would still be a real bargain, and would help us out a whole lot. But I think we need to wait a year or two after the Napier effect is in full force....

I'm assuming you'd have a student ticket limit on each venue.

About the only one that space might be an issue would be softball (and maybe baseball), but I doubt even there. And if we do have any accomadation issues we would have some funds to address it.

I remember when student tickets were hard to get in the late 70's. I hope we can get back to that demand.

I don't ever remember having to get student tickets: we would just show them our ID and we were in. This would be for football, and also Blackham and the Dome. Don't thik I was smart enough to go to baseball games at that time.
