Football Attendance Comparison

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.

So we keep playing a ____ schedule and be content with 20K to 25K per game? We have to try something different.

Don't have all the answers and I'm not against the occasional 2 for 1 deal. But, I understand the economics side of it once I was educated on it.

We will never get good teams at Cajun field with 1 for 1 deals.

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

We had 48,000 for our first bowl game vs SDSU in the Superdome. If we played LSU there, we would have a 35,000 to 40,000 ticket allotment. Gotta believe we would buy those up, particularly if we keep winning and our fan base has confidence in our ability to compete. Of course, we need to prove that by playing more P5 schools and avoiding games vs the E. Michigan schools because they are easy to schedule. Want to see our program move forward not remain stats quo.

Many people at that NOLA bowl would be at that game in purple and gold.

Here are 2 small examples of what it means my daddy’s brother who is an LSU RV tailgater at every game has purchased an RV spot for most of the cajuns NOLA bowls and gone because it was an event. Everyone at has TG would be LSU fans at a neutral site game.

My Uncle by marriage who owns a suite in the tiger stadium was at the first couple of NOLA bowls because it was a reason to go to NOLA and hang out with family. He and his family would be LSU fans at a neutral site game.

There were plenty UL / USL alum that I know personally that were there that drive to BR on Saturdays during the regular season who would be wearing purple and gold at that game also. I know this because I saw lots of them the last time we played in BR.

It means a lot of people were there from Lafayette for the novelty of it but many of those people are in Tiger Stadium on Saturday nights and their money goes there. He's not wrong. I know a LOT of those people that were in red partying it up and have maybe gone to an occasional Cajuns game, at best, since then.

It's been like that for years. We've just finished the greatest 3 year run in the program's modern Era of football and these people weren't coming. You can't duplicate the atmosphere of Death Valley at Cajun Field. If winning doesn't bring these people to games, no amount of pre-game activities will change it.

Just started reading this thread so still catching up halfway through, but we live in south Louisiana. People love to party here, we need to bring that to Cajun Field.

Too bad crawfish season doesn't coincide with football, we could host the world's largest crawfish boil at Cajun field. We need to think outside the box and bring the festival atmosphere to our football games.
