ULM attendance

[JMV JustMyView]

Guys look. This is my first football game since ULM 2019. Football tickets aren’t $10 no more. That is frivolous spending in our house. I either need to have a good reason for spending that much or better have had a good month in the bank. I haven’t recovered financially since the O&G went bust in 2015. Don’t forget that last year, oil actually fell out of market on the last contract day of the month and many people were in deep since then. We look to medical and tech to start fattening Lafayette, but the cost of living (not just at the pump, but groceries) are eating the “extra” money that we all used to have at the end of the bill paying cycle.

Let's go Billy. Not an exciting coach but a winning good coach and a crappy play caller = crappy crowds. Hud not good coach but exciting = big crowds. Let Billy hit the road and bring in a exciting winning coach and big crowds will return.
No one likes the boring ____ Billy is brining. Just look at the crowds. FACTS.

People spend money on what they want. The shopping centers, restaurants, and hwys were full of cars the last few days. The economy is an excuse to abandon this team when it needs us the most.
How many people spent money driving to BR to support LSU today? Probably more than was in our stadium.
Frick this town.

I agree with what you are saying but to say the economy doesn't factor in is an understatement.

Broke is broke and someone or something, is broke.

It is way more expensive to live now then it was 6 to 10 years ago. What is the reason then?

You put to much responsibility on the town. That's a marketing failure.

Want there all kinds of outreach to Acadians by the athletics department? My FB page is lit up with outreach from Ragin Cajun athletics.

For a town the size of Lafayette they should be able to plop 30k into that stadium six times a year. Many-a much smaller college towns accomplish way more with way ____tier teams.

It’s a generation thing. For far too long the problem has been poor facilities ie stadium. Poor unexciting opponents. That’s what the last generation grew up seeing. Now that things are moving in the right direction it’s gonna take a generation to fix the perception

I agree with this message. It’s total BS to not support this team.

Get back on FB, it’s the only social media I’m on and I get multiple posts per day from the athletic department. Dr Maggard is always on radio and podcasts practically begging people to attend (name any AD in the history of ADs who fell on his sword more than after concessions-gate, well except for the stupid TxSt AD who apologized for getting their arses beat). They are reaching out but no one is answering.

Hell, the team is doing all the talking needed, quit letting our lazy, ____ty fans off the hook.

Build a really nice 20k seat stadium and be happy when it almost sells out, against App St, for the championship.
