Eastern Mich attendance prediction

How were the concessions?

This is �� correct… Magyars needs to get off his high horse of no 2 for 1 deals and bring quality opponents to Cajun field.

Magyars? Is she/he a new hire in charge of scheduling? I know the Cajuns are short staffed and would hire just about anyone.

[JMV JustMyView]

That’s not the root cause though. Hosting a P5 once every 3-4 years won’t fix anything. It’s a culture problem!

And I’m all for 2/1 with P5s.

Would probably be 3 for 1 with P5's.

Ask MAT about his popcorn. Slow service once again.

How were the concessions?

No problem whatsoever. Got our beer in about 2 minutes. Lines were short or nonexistent.

[KajunKrazy]

Like P5 schools or better G5 teams?

I don’t agree with you here. The root cause, in my opinion, is the fickle ho-hum attitude of Acadiana and the Louisiana alumni. We have never seen success like this and can’t put 20K in Cajun Field on opening weekend.

Now, my 20K capacity comment was sarcasm, but we definitely don’t need a +40K facility.

This. I personally know about 30 UL alum that live in Lafayette, who are big football fans and were in NOLA last night getting ready for the State game. And that is our biggest problem. We have horrible alumni.

How were the concessions?

Before the game the downstairs main concession stands were full with long lines. Just before halftime upstairs main concession stand was very quick to get what you need. The one off to the side when you get either beer, soft drink, chips, and candy not so much. three people in front of me just getting one beer with five people work in the stand take an average of one to two minutes just to pay for and then they open your beer for you. A little slow but what can you ask for when is volunteers working. Not complaining just was in a rush to get the granddaughter some candy and chips so we could get back and watch the band for the halftime show.

[Cajunrunner]

Were the local vendors nice to have?

[CajunVic]

If you got the grand daughter a beer she would enjoy the band more . . . Just sayin

[Big Buds]

Would probably be 3 for 1 with P5's.

It’s funny, I had 3/1 in my original post but edited it.

[Swamp]

Great criticism!

Proposed improvements, none!

[Hudsheen#Fired]

If it shows chance of rain (like it currently does) then it will be under 20k again

[Policarp]

Rain gotta let up soon or it's time to buy up all the gopherwood.

22,495

We have the essence of fair weather fans. If the weather is less than ideal, most stay home. Not like many places, where the stands are full regardless of how bad the weather is.

[cajun4life]

Weather is a huge factor. But people forget, we have had so many midweek games over the past few years and that really hurts our attendance.

Give us great weather and a 4-0 start going into the South Al game and we will have close to 30k.
