Football Attendance Comparison

Oregon St is in Ville Platte??

……Need to switch the letters reg to ger…Ogeron……more Ville Platteish! Not bad eh Tbine????

The EMU game is fulfillment of a contract negotiated several years ago. Also UNC to App is part of a 2 for 1 deal from what I recall. Our AD says those are not done anymore. Still I like the idea of neutral site games in the SuperDome. Problem is we did not support the game vs Miss State well as needed in 2019. Of course our recent success was only beginning then. It may be time to try it again.

YES. The neutral Dome game idea is and was an excellent idea. Attendance to the Miss St game should have been larger. At the time, there was a certain downplaying of that game by some because it wasn't a true Home game. We should have been marketing the cr*p out of that. Hopefully, we have learned our lesson.

Not bad at all.

You've always been a VP in my book.

... ask yourself are the fans that show up to games willing to keep season tickets in the years there are only 5 home games? ...

The biggest deterrent to season ticket sales are the recent trainwreck schedules we've had with midweek games. Having or not having a 6th Home game versus a school nobody cares about will have zero effect on ticket sales.

How come we had to play Moo State at a neutral site, and LaTech got them to Ruston twice in the last 14 years?

[Cajunsmike]

I think our fans would view the LSU game differently than Miss State and our allotment of tickets would be sold in a heartbeat, as would theirs. Easily a sell-out.

Agree but that is a moot point. Tigers will NEVER play a state school outside of Tiger Stadium. That now goes for Tulane despite past history. Colorado and UNC are nowhere near LSU in terms of fan dominance or tradition in their state. We need to find A different P5 school for the neutral field Dome game. Dr. Maggard will need convincing for that to happen. He still has a bad taste from 2019.

We don't have the fan base for a neutral site game. That was proven in 2019 and the most recent bowl games.

[JMV JustMyView]

Never ever gonna happen. LSU doesn't need UL. UL needs LSU. It's all about collecting a check. Once every 10-12 years maybe but even that may be a stretch.

Never say Never.

Our AD needs to do 2 for 1. They are still done he just don't want to do them.

lsu will NEVER play at cajun field.

You do 2 for 1, it eliminates the payout or drastically reduces the payout you receive going there twice. You basically have to pay them what your payout is to return to Lafayette.

[Turbine]

My preference is 3-for-1 in any order.

Two appearances for a fee.

Third appearance a feeless exchange game.

Return game an exchange game.
