    Over paid if you ask me and many others. Big Fish needs to go.

    As owners with a negotiated usufruct of sorts, it doesn't cost UL anything for game day electricity at the Cajun Dome.

    It costs more to turn on the scoreboard at the each diamond park than it does for UL Basketball to light up the CD.

    Even more of a bad look that the diamond sports are making more money.

    That is a valid point.

    I just didn't want you to appear like you were grasping at straws.

    As often as he grasps for straws, he needs you following him around more often.

    PS Don’t forget the lights for evening diamond sports.

    It has been well documented that I don't like basketball so I was asking to see who pays for the ac during games. Now that they don't pay for those expenses they really look bad on paper.

You point is still valid as it only moves the 2019 paid attendance up to about 1700, but just wanted to bring that up.
    No, I got it from an article Stevie P did for 1420 website. Not sure what numbers he used but nonetheless.

    Who do you think Maggard will listen to? A person that walked away and now says they’ll donate/buy tickets predicated based on a change, or a donor that stayed with the program thru it all?

    Asking for a friend...
    Not sure he will listen to either. I've always been told that empty seats are what fire a coach so maybe its a bit of both.

    2,790 is capacity. Meaning that you are filling about half the stadium on typical gamedays which is going to seem more crowded when its a smaller capacity than a cavernous 12,000 seat arena

    Not to nitpick or anything but I was responding to your post about the programs and "revenue generation" which is different from profit. My argument was that MBB generates more revenue or at least the same and its overstated that people think softball has higher attendance than MBB. I haven't looked at the report line by line nor will I as I'm busy myself but I was pointing out that based on the criteria that you guys set up on the podcast about labeling basketball dead in the south was attendance driven but I was trying to show that our attendance is the same it was 15 years ago with really good players in the program.

    What good is generating revenue when your expenses exceed your revenue? People are in business to make money and profit not to see who can spend the most money. Some games had only a couple hundred folks this season. I went to a game that had maybe 150 people but was listed as having 300. Attendance has went down. It is not the same.
