    Mike, it's the music played during the game that people think is killing the game day experience, including me. I sit in D2, and the sentiment is unanimous with everybody around me.

    Pre game was also a concern. During the game is a problem as well for many which is understood. During game I Focus more on field action so I don’t notice music as much.

    If Maggard's not been made aware of this sort of thing, it's high time someone does it. His goal is to get more fans to attend the games by improving the gameday experience. A good start would be knowing that something as simple as the lousy music played during the game is potentially driving them away.

    Attendance may increase, but what do you attribute it to ... the opponent, the ticket price, the concession price, the atmosphere? I'm all for experimenting, but you have to change as few variables as possible to get any reliable data.
    I wasn’t necessarily saying make it a permanent change, but simply a one time event to see how it would be received. Who knows, if well recieved, possibly try it again. If not, throw the idea in the trash!

    Various schools and teams (pro ands college) sometime wear "throwback" uniforms for a game or two during the season. What do you think about maybe having a "throwback game" at Cajun Field to see how the crowd reacts.

    What do I mean by a "throwback game"?

    1. Lower ticket prices by maybe $5.00 for the throwback game.
    2. Lower concession prices to 1/2 price for the throwback game.
    3. Turn off the music on the scoreboard for the throwback game and just utilize the graphics (like the old days).
    4. Allow the band to play throughout the game.
    5. Let the cheerleaders attempt to get fans engaged.
    6. Have the P.A. announcer just announce game information and no other attempts to engage the fans.
    7. etc, etc, etc.

    All of these things are how football games used to be in the late 1900's. It was up to the fans to create the excitement, if there was going to be any. Many younger fans, have never been to a game under such circumstances and may not even know what to do or how to react! I would love to see how a game like that would be received by the masses.

    I, for one, can tolerate all of the music and artificial noise being piped into the stadium, but I go to the games for the action on the field. That is all I really care about, in addition to whether or not the Cajuns win or lose.

    I'd be very interested to see how the rest of the fan base would handle such a game and atmosphere. I think it would be very interesting.
    I like the idea better than the white out or black out games. In this college football climate where universities around the country are collectively struggling with attendance, anything that puts butts in the seats is worth a shot. I was always a fan of having Hud wrestle a bear at half time. PETA may have had a fit once the bear got knocked out, though.

    Right but the super loud crappy music gone forever.
