ODU Football Season Tickets

[Lafitte the Pirate]

I’m not really involved in it, but I believe there will be a Friday night gathering. Hopefully advertised more than two days ahead of time.

I think we all expect/hope to be going for our 16th straight win that day. There’s no excuse for not having 10K Cajuns in the stands. We won’t…but there’s no excuse.

Chris, you and I have a lot more inside on this subject. I do not expect your boy Adam to do anything!

Currently, plans are to have something the Friday evening before the Rice game at Lil Woodrow's (I think in Rice Village) Not sure if this is 100% finalized but should be by the end of this month or early August at the latest. Also will have tailgating at Rice stadium before the game on Saturday. Info to sign up for the events will be coming out when all is set. Also hearing there may be additional events for the big donors. Hoping for a great turn out at all the events, especially the game.

I say this all the time but I’ll say it again…outside of the football our in stadium environment sucks. Concessions are bad and poorly managed, corny traditions that feel forced and poor atmosphere. It all leads to people not returning.

Which traditions are the corny ones you'd like to see go? I would lack of tradition and always trying to create something new is a problem also. Many schools have been doing the same stuff for over 50 years.

The ragin Cajun chant from one side to the other is awful. the cheerleaders and band try to force it to happen. Then go faster and faster so it sounds like crap.

The kids run is terrible. It doesn’t set up for a football game atmosphere.

What is the Big Donor tier ?

Don’t know what it is.

Not only will there not be 10,000 Cajun fans there, I doubt we'll even have 1/5 of that (2,000). I'll be there, though.

I can't imagine either of those things would keep someone from wanting to attend a game at Cajun Field.

"Hey, honey, Cajuns are in first place in the SBC West again this season. Want to go catch a game?"

"I'd love to go watch the team play, but until they get rid of that stupid chant and stop that kids run game thing, I don't want to go. I refuse to suffer through that."

I think maybe the bigger point is that our game day atmosphere doesn’t draw people in. It doesn’t keep them away, but it doesn’t draw them in.

We all know that LSU has a strong hold on 98% of casual fans in the state. Why is that? I can tell you why. It’s because they went to an LSU game as a kid and saw the band march on the field, play the opening notes of the fight song, and then the crowd went crazy.

I know it sounds bizarre, but those four notes of their fight song sell more tshirts and sell more tickets than anything we do.

I don’t know what the solution is, but it has to be geared toward making Cajun Field a “have to be there” environment.

Sounds like we need to arrange an RP meetup

This is such a funny situation. "Traditions". On one hand you have people complaining about what the band does after every 2nd down or 3rd down. They don't like it that the band always does that. Hmm.

There was an entire thread based on what song should replace "Sweet Caroline" at the Tigue.

We have so many problems. We want "tradition" but we don't want what we keep doing.

I just see a dog, continuing to chase his tail.

We are a finicky bunch.
