Well, we are getting an education on scheduling from the CFP committee.
Scheduling 2 P5 schools, including a top 10 program, and winning both is not enough to get into the playoffs.
However, it might be the new minimum to make a NY6 Bowl.
Schedule accordingly.
Always a “fun” debate. I do agree that “today” we don’t NEED 41,000 seating capacity. Heck, there are several P5 stadiums smaller than CF. But we also can’t go crazy making it much smaller. I think we all pretty much agree that the modernization effort with slightly reduced capacity will meet our needs for now. As many have stated, make it a place people want to be and the entertainment dollars should follow; especially with the current product. But we definitely need to fill it more than once every couple years! And I know I’m being generous with that statement….
At 25k we would have had 2 sellouts this season. You guys act like we have anything but a losing tradition.
Hudspeth gave this program a tiny glimpse of what it can be like. Napier is building the foundation of this program. Give it time. We have 35 plus years of neglect to make up for. It doesn’t happen overnight.
In fact if we get 5 Saturday home games, with good weather and Napier still the coach next season. We will average over 30k per game. Especially if the game times are at 4pm or 6pm.
Absolutely!!!
You understand that we need 15 more wins to be a .500 program right?
What everyone here is seeing is not the peak of this program. Yes, we can’t win much more than 10-12 games a year. But this program is in its infancy stages of winning tradition.
Nicholls 26k
Texas St 28k
ULM…good weather 28-30k
SBC Champ game…good weather 30k+
I am not as worried about this as some. Reason is all our mid week games. 2 of the 3 have occurred 5 days after a Saturday home game making it difficult to promote. Our 2 Saturday games would have both been sellouts at Tulane. Would be interesting to see what the support would be with only 1 midweek home game. Now if we get to host the championship game with good weather and it is not well attended, he will be disappointed.
