Championship Week is Here!

[BeauCajun]

No lines last night in the UD.

[Boomer]

Boom, that would mean like 80% of those attending bought tickets at game.

…..lWell yes depending how you read the quote (my bad) a bit ambiguous….there were 13+K tickets sold ————— BEFORE GAME WALK UP SALES!o

That makes more sense...

The only way to reverse the curse of ESPN is to blackout games. The SBC should push for this in their next agreement. The Acadiana area should have a blackout until 70% of tickets are sold.

We have a great product, but ESPN has made it too easy to consume for free or ($6/month).

We should also remove all bleacher seating and provide 20" seats throughout the stadium including the grass hill. Make it the best 30K stadium in the country.

This is actually a fantastic idea.

Problem is this area is also the prime area for ESPN viewership. They probably be giving up over 1/2 of their audience.

You can’t have TV money and blackout. It just don’t work that way.

Good point.

ESPN TV money doesn't even cover travel costs.

The TV decisions are made at the conference level and the money is spent at the team level . . . possibly room for a disconnect . . . do you really think a blackout/no TV would generate enough ticket revenue to replace the TV revenue together with the brand enhancement?

No I don't, not with a Sunbelt schedule.

As an independant, yes. But that ain't happening, to many lazy administrators.

They can only handle the rigors of scheduling 4 independant games each year.
