Is UL Attendance Really That Bad!

[Jacob81]

I have still not heard one iota of evidence or one person say, explain or give one fact why they would believe that for this university and its players that the 2018 bowl game in Orlando had any less meaning than any of the regular season games. I don’t think anyone can!!!!!!!!

I kinda agree that winning the bowl game wasn’t as important as winning the ULM game and getting to the conference championship. And if I had my choice of wins last season. I would have chosen the conference championship game over the bowl game. We wouldn’t have made the championship game without everyone of the conference games. I’d like to win conference championships especially now that there’s a game for it. It’s way bigger than any bowl we’re tied too. Imagine conf championship game at Cajun field this year. Gonna be epic.

Well it not fact it’s opinion. My opinion is any game that helps get us to the conference championship is important because that’s the goal. If we’re playing on national tv I want to hear the announcer saying “Defending conference champs” more than “ cure bowl winners”. There are bigger bowls if we were ever in could be bigger, but the current tie ins no.

Not sure what shred of evidence you are looking for. It's a subjective opinion for which you can not provide any more evidence than the person countering your point. The initial point made was that the sheer number of bowl games we have these days has watered down the quality of the postseason. Teams can get in with a 6-7 season or 6-6 season and even the lowest tiered conferences are getting 3+ teams into bowl games. You can be a mediocre team in a mediocre conference with a mediocre record and be invited to a bowl game when 20 years ago these games were a main goal of a team entering the season and many good teams with better records were not invited.

That is the point. There is NO evidence. Go play the bowl that you qualify for and enjoy it. Or sit your ___ in Lafayette in December and whine even more.

UL is selling discounted tickets to encourage increased attendance, but at least they are not giving tickets away! Apparently not all P5 schools are actually BIG TIME like they claim to be!

Maybe UL Attendance Isn't That Bad Afterall

Heard they moved the students 30 yards from the stadium that's why no one shows up

[GeauxLouisiana]

No, it's still bad after all.

A healthy/prospering program should sell at a minimum 50% of capacity as season tickets. Which would put us at roughly 19,000 season tickets. We should then see 15-20% of capacity as walkup sales. That SHOULD be where we are today. We have quite a ways to go. But if we are able to keep Napier and staff together as well as Maggard at AD we can get there. Within 5 years IMO. I see this year and next season as a huge spring board for this program.

UCLA can’t draw what we do to the Rose Bowl. Big difference.

Yes, but most on here are acting like all of a sudden, all the bowls other than the playoffs are no longer a big flippin deal. As to those, nothing has changed over the past 20 or 30 years.

I like the change to all the bowl games. As it currently is, I can enjoy football almost everyday from Dec 15 to the National Championship game.

...on TV, which I think circles back to the original problem. Not knocking your view. I enjoy the bowl season as well. WKU vs CMU in the Bahamas Bowl. That was crazy.
