11k tickets sold for NOLA game

8k season tickets

Gotta get those numbers up!

Yikes. What was last year's season ticket total?

[CrazyCajun]

Like i said in the other thread.. I knew the number would be low but 11k total is goddamn pathetic. It sure would have been nice to have this game in Lafayette. Wonder where that deal went wrong 🤔🙄

Uhm probably when MSU said no

The same dude who thought we needed a 38k seat stadium to support our fan base was the same guy who figured our fan base was big enough to fill the Superdome.

And i suppose in his defense at the time the deal was made nobody could have predicted that college football attendance nationwide would drop off a cliff. And nobody could have expected Hud to go from the most popular man in town to hated by half the fan base (which I do think affects attendance today.)

But still.

Honestly, 11k is honestly what we should have expected. We are a sun belt school that draws poorly in our own stadium. Why would anyone expect us to put more butts in the seats two hours away?

We put more than 11k butts in the seats 2 hours away 5 times...it’s not like it was totally crazy to think we could travel well.

Uhm so they said no and we just said ____ it we’ll play in Nola and y’all can get 40% of the gate while we get bent over the barrel and showed the 50 states?? Yeah the year that moo state was number one they traveled to south Alabama. SOUTH FKIN ALABAMA. The man in charge took no for an answer. It’s pathetic

[DieHard1280]

Refresh my memory please? How many tickets did we buy from the UL ticket office as a fan base for the NO Bowls? I know we had quite a few people buy tickets through Ticketmaster and walk up.

Moo state was bargaining with a mental midget.
