Students Returning to Their Old Spot(s)

I just read the article that the advocate put out and apparently students that go to games will be entered into drawings for different reward perks like sitting courtside at a basketball game.

The question of how was almost immediately put on the backburner.

It didn’t take many discussions with UL students for the new athletic department’s marketing group to recognize what was needed.

The idea of the student’s tailgating area for Ragin’ Cajuns home football games being at Bourgeois Park_— across Cajundome Boulevard from the Lamson Park/Bourgeois Hall parking lot_— just no longer made sense.

Student tailgating.....UL could buy a 10 piece combo and that would cover the entire student population that tailgates.

That’s what they are trying to change. Go figure.

Beat Mississippi State in the first game. Will increase attendance for first game for sure.

Sounds like some work and organization has gone into this effort, which to me means Assit AD N Y probably had nothing to do with it...

I think he meant that they would do a giveaway based on the number of students, @ $2 a student that would be $2K.....and give it towards the end of the 4th Q, and 'winner must be present.' Sounds good to me...incentivies them to bring in more students, and to stay the whole game. A neat event for someone to sponsor.

Come in before game time, record the $2 then leave and do your thing. Enter at end of 4th quarter and hope to be the one to earn $2 grand.

A random drawing time (Q2 thru Q4) would take care of that.

These are significant changes to encourage student buy in and involvement in sporting events. I hope now that students are getting what they want, they will approve a modest assessed athletics fee similar to their peer institutions in the conference and around the country.
