FB Attendance: Complaints, Observations, Fixes (merged)

[CajunNation]

If App St. were to get upset by Troy and we win what would ya'll expect attendance wise for the SBC Championship at Cajun Field. I think it would be a near sell out for that game.

Nope.

With perfect weather we might hit 20k.

It is what it is.


I'm more worried about attendance this Saturday. I was praying for espn to not pick us. Weather guys are already saying 50% rain and it is Thanksgiving break. It will be EMBARASSING beyond belief.

Another example of why we may be fighting a losing battle. One of my FB "friends" posted this yesterday and received nothing but positive responses.

"All this talking and speculating, on who gets in and who gets left out of the CFP, is stupid. Just fix it! Guess I will fix it for them....
Expand the “playoff “ to 6 teams, all the power 5 conference champions make it in, and 1 “at large team”. The at large team has to be a team that LOST in a power 5 conference championship game, it’s decided by SOS. No more playing cupcakes or “tune-up games, all non-conference games have to be against schools from the other Power 5 conferences."

You want to kill college football? Follow this formula.

That's the problem with fans from the P5. They only see it through their lenses.

Our fan base is way too small and uninspired, but would you check these guys out. Really,we’re going down that street.

This isn't a short term strategy, but Long term the only way you get cULure turnout for a Thanksgiving week game is to do it like they did it in the old days.

Historically, Louisiana has had dozens of games ON Thanksgiving Day when EVERYONE is off and many are in town.

Come on MAT. You put 25K in the stands and hell with the ones standing outside looking in. Is that your future for the program. I guess we can set up bleaches on the grassy knolls as needed.....Like butler buildings on school grounds. Not enough room in the mean building.....but to each his own...

French, in the history of our program, we've had something like 15 crowds above 25k. I'm just thinking about the trend here. We're losing residents and we're losing interest in CFB. What's Yulman sit, 30k? Just thinking outside the box. Make the venue small and create urgency.

When Notre dame cant sell out anymore and other big programs including Bama are having issues, the days of building a Big house like Michigan are over. Even concerts have moved awe way from big stadium venues to smaller more cost effective types.
