Season ticket numbers

Regardless of the home schedule, 25k in his 3rd year, 37k in his 4th

I think some exaggerate how much interest there is in the program. With so much emphasis in the media on the P5 and there games plastered all over TV, many in the area who don’t have a direct interest in the program pay little attention. Add to that the issue of fewer students paying attention to athletics every year and issue is compounded. I don’t think we can average 30000 even if we win 10 games for a conservative seasons. Note I say this thinking that I am in no way limiting what can be accomplished on the field. I am saying upside support is limited regardless of how successful they are on the field. Let’s have that success so as I can be proven wrong.

I don't think we will be above 14000 any time in the next 3 or 4 years.

Season ticket totals will be a lot better with the Cajuns cares donation tickets and flash sale tickets. Those were both great ideas. I think Dr Maggard will reach his goal of 14k season tickets sold. You heard it here first from the Yokel.

For reference, I think it was Evangilne Parish that sold 1000 tickets alone on the flash sale.

With this conference, off a terrible last 2 seasons, our economy down and the tax changes.. it would be an astonishing accomplishment to sell 12k. And we might do it.

You are right.. From what I'm hearing, we are swimming up creek with no paddle and making splashes.. Even if we don't make 14000 mark, its one hell of a beginning.

Dont forget, companies can't write off these expenses anymore.....new tax code.

Everyone's feeling the pinch...NBA, NFL, NCAA

This is a good point, especially since ticket prices have gone up and minimum contribution levels.
