Homecoming attendance? 18,132 (merged)

[Cajunsmike]

I don’t post on here much but read all the comments. All these excuses, LSU, Festival, Weather, etc are BS. The games are BORING! Same old songs by the band, same graphics, same chants by the cheer leaders, same everything. Make the games fun and people will go! Nothing new and I haven’t missed a home game in years.

Watching offense yesterday was definitely mot boring to me.

I don’t think it’s that hard to figure out boomer. Two of those are national contenders year in and year out. The other is year in and year out one of the worst teams in fbs and plays ____ty opponents that nobody wants to see in a dump of a stadium.

Plus for those other 2 sports 2-3,000 per game is considered great.
The money and competitiveness involved with major college football is in a different stratosphere

Truthfully, that's not "the game" but certainly it contributes to (or takes away from) the atmosphere.

The music they are playing is targeting an audience that they have priced out of the stadium( other than students) who as you can see aren’t staying for the music anyway. So why not play to the older crowd with families that spend money.

By the way, as soon as I walked in the gate, about 24 minutes before kick, I swear I herd a F bomb in the rap song that was playing. Maybe it was bleeped poorly but I did a double take.

Yeah, it looks like we've got to decide whether or not we'll allow Cajun football games to become a ghetto experience or not.

The post by facelessjonmoon is the best post in this entire thread.

College football is indeed a totally different animal than college baseball and softball. We simply do not have the fan base to be a big time football program, whereas we do for both baseball and softball. This fact is what frustrates so many die hard Cajun fans. They want (as we all do) Cajun football to be what Cajun baseball and softball are. There's simply not enough Cajun football fans in existence to ever get us to that level.

I got caught up in all the euphoric hype during Hudspeth's early years, but then I attended an LSU/Alabama game at Tiger stadium with my next door neighbor. That's when reality slapped me across the face. As faceless said, we're talking about a different stratosphere.
