The Not Too Early 2022 Football Gameday Experience Thread

No? I thought I read somewhere the demolition process would begin this spring?

Need more $$$ before anything starts.

Where you hearing that? I have heard Dr. Maggard say in an interview this fall the plan was for destruction to begin Spring 22. I think some folks have been contacted about moving seats already, that have season tickets in the chair backs of the upper deck. Has that all changed?

Aside from concessions (I normally get what I want on the way to my seat...) there are so many things UL could do to enhance the gameday experience. Most have been covered here previously...

Utilize that damn bell! So many, many things could be done with the bell that would enhance the game and build tradition.

Pre-Game...The National Anthem. Bring in local talent to sing it. Think Sweet Cecilia. And sung acapela as well...the crowd singing at the championship game was awesome.

Would like to see a former player, coach, some person of note to the university lead the Ragin Cajun cheer before the team enters the stadium, sort of like the Who Dat cheer in NOLA.

Fly our championship and bowl win flags on gameday.

Turn the Cox Center into a museum of UL Sports History, open on Gameday (football and baseball) only. UNC and other schools have this, its really cool to relive these events and again, this is the sort of thing that builds interest and tradition.

I think getting someone to do the Ragin’ Cajuns chant before the team comes out would be an awesome addition. Do it right before the hype video comes or right after

The problem is with our late arriving crowds only few are in the stadium then as Cajuns crowds tend to trickle in during the 1st quarter.

That's why the Bell needs to be used, get folks off their drunk asses to get into the stadium...Chim the bell at about 15 or 20 minutes before pre-game starts.

Open the damn gates to get in on time and not 15 minutes late every damn game

[CajunEXPRESS]

At some point it’s not ok to blame the staff for fans procrastinating in ticket acquisition, getting to the right gate, and all the rest.

There’s lots of really interesting things going on with plenty of time before kickoff for the fans to enjoy.

Have you ever heard the bell? I was once standing in the north end zone as it was ringing and could barely hear it. It was originally supposed to ring every time we had a victory in any sport. I don’t think that happens anymore. Does it ever ring this day and age? Does it even work? Or is it just a glorified video tower now?

Stop the band from playing the same song after first down, the same song after second down and the same song after third down.

I like the band playing the same songs after downs. It’s the pageantry of the sport that makes it unique.
