Homecoming Kickoff Changed to 11 AM

200 thousand max

It if they are “max” eyeballs, do they count for more?

Probably be a good idea to throw together a Friday night event and have a band at the band stand, Say around 6:30 PM or 7 PM.

Go ahead and do Cajun walk Friday night, and have the players mingle during the Game day eve event.

Cooking will have to start a bit earlier.

Hopefully a good turn out for the game.

Maybe bring in a band afterward to help make a good day of it.

If we had a real fan base, 11 a.m. kickoffs wouldn't be a problem.

There are any number of nationally ranked teams that consistently play noon games, and have great crowds. They don't whine about having to show up early.

Kickoffs at 11 a.m. are a good problem to have. It means we're being noticed.

Once again how many of those teams have played 2 weeknight games before and 1 after that 11 am kickoff. We as fans have gotten ____ed and its hard to build a fanbase off being ____ed on GameDay

Niu and central Michigan play on ESPN 8 premium...it ain't that special. Maybe we can get the ESPN news 8 am time slot for ULM

Those nationally ranked teams with "real fan bases" don't have half of their home games on week nights either

One midweek home game a season is one thing but this season is ridiculous. That's not good unless you're happy with 15k average attendance for one of our best teams ever. Most on this board will be there regardless but it's the "casual fans" that make the difference in having large crowds on a regular basis.

I like that idea(s)

I think Saturday morning, if attendance is decent, has the potential to an issue logistically.

I'd get together with LCG and shut down Congress from Bertrand to Cajundome Blvd for thru traffic; it would only be used for entry to Cajun Field.

Traffic diverted to Johnston and Devalcourt/Eraste Landry to get around the Congress.

Mad push by the Program for cheap tickets and free parking on Congress and at Blackham.

A boy can dream.

Y’all need to look at it a different way. How many people will be watching that game at 11 on Saturday? 1 million, 2 million ? That’s like that many people going to the game and exposing the university to that many people. I understand because I have a job that works all hours and all days and on call 24/7?

The fanbase needs to adjust ! I don’t agree but it’s what is best for the university

Not on ESPNU. It is an add on channel. If it were ESPN2 or ESPN then absolutely, but we should never change a game time for ESPNU.

If i am reading it right the Memphis vs Temple game on the U Oct 2nd was not even in the top150 of viewers .. a rerun of EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND on IFC ranked higher
