Eastern Mich attendance prediction

[BeauCajun]

Same here. Multiple beer & peanut runs with no issues. Lines flowed well.

Another topicSit in Your Assigned Seats. Had to shoo-shoo some people out of our seats. According to them they were told they could "Sit Anywhere". It all worked out well. They just had to slide over a bit. They were new fans and was glad to have them !!

Same issue with seats upstairs. Our friends who arrived first asked them to move, then the friends who sit to the right of me asked them to move again.

Is it just me imagining this, or do we have bad weather for the 1st home game at Cajun Field every year?

Clarify bad weather? We’ve had some clear days but 100° plus temperatures. I call that bad hot!

They thought they were at the movie after all that.

Good point! Bad hot is not so bad if played in the evening. Still bad, but not like that game with Boise State at 11:00 in the morning, or was it a noon KO? In any case, it was too hot. Bad wet is ____ty too, but at least you're not sweating.too much.

Yes sir I was referring to the Boise game. That game was hot and also the first game of the season we played at Arkansas Razorbacks. had to leave with my 10 year old daughter two minutes into the game due to her dehydration. I pumped her full of water before the game but that did not help. have a great day!

25,000 - no rain
15000- rain

UL's attendance problem may not be as bad as we all think it is. I just read an article that said UCLA sold 20,000 tickets to their home opener against Bowling Green in sunny Southern California, but only had approximately 5,000 people actually show up and put their butts in seats! And this is in the 100,000+ seat ROSE BOWL!! So maybe having 16,000+ on a rainy day show up in 41,000 seat Cajun Field is not the end of the world. With that said, we still need to work on getting 25,000-30,000 into Cajun Field.

Let’s look at it differently:

Opelousas …….15,786
Crowley……11,710
New Iberia….28,755
Jennings……9,837
Abbeville…….11,186

I’m okay if we’d get the entire population of New Iberia, or Opelousas and Crowley combined.

Add those parishes plus Lafayette parish and were over 542Kno reason not to have 25-30K on regular basis but game day experience and facilities have to improve dramatically for this to happen.
