Homecoming attendance? 18,132 (merged)

[Jacob81]

I appreciate your input, and I’m glad you had a nice time, but there are some of us on a mission to benefit this program. I’m a legacy, alumni and my family has been involved in Cajun athletics for several decades. I’m going to pound the table for worthy causes when I see fit. I’m sorry if you don’t understand that or it concerns you. I’ll be fine. Been doing this a long time chief.

By all means, show up and enjoy your concessions. Watch the fireworks and yell for the boys. This message is not for you.

You’ve been doing this along time.... pounding the table..... guess your not helping. We just had 18,000 people at homecoming. Try a different method. Ask coach robe what the definition of insanity is.

Looks like MAT was served some bad bourbon tonight. I just had a Bulleit Rye Old Fashion and am enjoying the Boston/Houston baseball game. I was pleased with our offensive efficiency today. Attendance is above my pay grade.

Your opinion is irrelevant anyway because A) you’re an LSU fan B) you haven’t been to a football game since the Clinton administration C) you’re usually wrong

But I am watching post season baseball in the man room this evening..

Had to pass thru River Ranch/Camellia Blvd Thursday evening at 6:00ish...there were people and cars parked EVERYWHERE, couldn’t get over how much it’s grown...for the Chee Weez...let that sink in...if UL can make it popular...Lafayette sheep will be there..

Sounds like the other 30,000 that traveled to the NOLA bowls from 2011-2014. Notice how I didn’t include the other 10,000 of our diehards that were there as well.

I agree but another issue is that the atmosphere is terrible. In the last 6ish years the atmosphere has gone way down. There is zero excitement in the stadium and some of that is do to product but a lot of it is the fan base. We have a bunch of fans who would prefer to sit with their hands in their pockets...unless you stand in front of them while you are cheering, that's when you get asked to sit because they can't see.

This dead atmosphere is what causes a lot of people not to come back a 2nd time. Again winning will help but we need to up the atmosphere. Get the wine and cheese crowd to get excited and cheer.

"unless you stand in front of them while you are cheering, that's when you get asked to sit because they can't see."

So true.

Wrong on all accounts. Did not watch the LSU game today and have already been to a UL game this year. And no one is wrong on this site more than you. Try again.

Well, it's no longer a "man room."

I can't believe that some (or many) of you think that there should be some huge increase in attendance at this point. The product (UL football) to the average common fan, is the same as it has been. Until there is a consistent upward trajectory in the program, and until this team can start winning meaningful games, against good programs, then why expect anything more. The common fan is not interested in losing football. Just the way it is. It was a good win today, but it did not, repeat, did not raise the status of this program, so don't expect it. Napier has it going in the right direction, it's just going to take time to build up some excitement around a struggling program, and that is what it is at this point.
