Eastern Mich attendance prediction

[UL_Cajuns]

We were let in by just showing our ticket because the scanner was not working and it was holding up the line. I promise you the attendance was off. I thought the attendance was decent until the lightning delay. We have a massive problem with fans leaving too early. Boy they sure missed a great 49 point showing in 2nd half. Wow that was amazing to see in person. Sorry for all who left missed it.
Time to push the crowd down and tear down upper deck.

Do the scanners matter though if we are just going by tickets sold? It’s still hard to believe we sold more tickets to week 1 considering the number of people around the complex yesterday as a whole compared to last week. There would’ve had to be a bunch of tickets sold last week with no one going and nearly every ticket sold attending last night for the numbers to make sense.

Lafayette was dead last night. I know a lot of people where in BR and NO

Would make sense considering last week's weather

It only doesn't work in Lafayette.

Casual scanners?

Who cares if the ticket scanners missed 50 or 100 scans. Look at the pictures, the attendance is terrible. Lafayette and the surrounding parishes do not support this school, hell alumni don’t support this school.

If a fan base can’t get excited for the first two home games of the year, following two successful top 25 ending seasons, a local coach then they never will. Usually fan base apathy sets in after a few losses not before the damn season even starts.

Face it, downsize the stadium and make it super nice with excellent amenities and then enjoy the games. The team deserves a packed house so the atmosphere is great. Screw the idiots who are missing out.

And please don’t tell me about the weather, ponchos cost $0.97 at Walmart.

Nobody is going to show up in a $.97 Walmart poncho . . .

Man your right. The fans that are there are passionate. Let’s get this stadium done and let’s roll with what we got. Supply and demand. We have a great program right now. Love the Louisiana brand and the winning. Never thought I would see the heights this Louisiana football program would achieve in my lifetime. It might just might even get better. NY6!

I like it. No more upper deck at all. Tear it down and Just build suites and press. All home side seats need to be converted to chair backs and spread them out some to reduce capacity further. The bleachers in the far north east corner that wrap the corner more than the west side need to be removed and turned back to grass so the horse shoe is the same on both sides and it brings in the fans on that side closer to the middle. So minus about 8,000 upper deck. Another 1,000 In that corner. Then 1,000 converting home side to all chair backs. Now your down to about 30,000.

Been a while but thought I’d read that the lower west seating would be redone as part of the overall renovation. I’m sure some of our architect/engineer types on here could talk to newer standards. So I’d suspect new lower seating would look similar to the south end zone. Obvious difference would be the portion with chair back seating.
Anyone else hear this before?
Hopefully the guessing game can end soon!!
