Conference realignment again????

[JMV JustMyView]

If anyone is still on the fence about what the capacity for Cajun Field should be, we just had the 2 most successful years in football history, and closed it out with the first ever Sunbelt championship game in Lafayette, with the chance to win our first outright conference title in 50 years. 31K. That game should have been 40+ no question. Afternoon kick. No other team in the state playing. If we can’t get break the attendance record for that, it will NEVER happen

NEVER say NEVER.

Blows my mind that the city did such a major renovation of that arena and didn't include mid-level suites along the side court.

Can’t consistently sell all the suites now. Would be foolish to eliminate seating that for non basketball events sell, such as major concerts.

Exposes the focus away from Louisiana Athletics.

Even so, a shortage of seats for non Louisiana Athletic events would drive early demand for those events.

You don't think 2nd level suites would sell? I want to know who the hell buys those suites on the roof?

I've pondered the same thoughts. LOL!

A nice 2nd level club area, with 300-400 seats would be awesome.

If you've experienced club seating at sporting events, it can spoil you.

Clean restrooms, better dining, great sight lines, and networking opportunities.

Folk will pay for an exclusive experience. Everyone wants to be part of the club. Cajun Club Level Seating.....I like it.

The dome 1) doesn’t have the annual volume to support such a venture and 2) structurally would kill available seating to regular folks, especially at concerts. That’s the dome’s moneymakers.

Who buys the present suites, go file a FOIA request.

Be careful with fireworks today.

"Afternoon kick" is a negative not a positive.

I have been saying this for decades; "This isn't Nebraska" Louisiana Saturday Nights is the only tradition that has a chance.

Anything else is an attendance zap.

On a personal level I have worked almost every saturDAY for 40 years.

Fair, but my other points still stand. Other than it being at night, you can’t create more of a perfect storm than that.

If you’ve ever been in those suites you’d know why nobody pays for them.

It was genuinely the worst sports experience of my life. I’ve never felt so disconnected from a basketball game. And of course you’re watching it all in a room that hasn’t been renovated since 1985 so there’s nothing premium about it.

However I do think 2nd level suites would sell — especially for concerts. And especially if they were set up like other suites and had stadium seating in front.

I think the Table Room is/was the Cajundome’s attempt at premium seating. I remember getting an email offering a yearly membership to get access for all events but I’m not sure if that idea was abandoned.

Honestly, if UL and the Cajundome didn’t operate as two separate entities this would be an easy fix. They could offer up the court side seats as premium seating and have the Table Room as a premium lounge.

Throw away the last 2 years of attendance @ CF. Unfortunately, it coincided with our 2 best years in Football. While we are at it, let's make CF 10K, that way it looks full, and many of you can be happy. Low attendance is the end result of many factors before the game even takes place. Fix those things first.
