How to Increase Attendance?

[Cajun Monkee]

I know I’m prone to exaggeration, but This is what I am seeing on Facebook.


Tickets need to be priced somewhere between what they are and free. Closer to free.

People need to be able to park next to Cajun Field for free but they’d be willing to pay if they can come just to tailgate. Oh and tailgating needs to be free.

Students need to be able to tailgate where they used to tailgate.


People should be able to buy a hotdog and a Coke for $2.50.

There needs to be more concession stands and the food needs to be cheaper.

There needs to be more bathrooms.

I’m not saying I’m happy with our attendance, but I promise you attendance issues are everywhere and at every level these days. If you turn on a random P5 game, odds are the stadium will be half empty. The full games we see on prime time TV are the exception, not the rule.

It turns out spending good money to sit on hard bleachers in crappy weather isn’t the draw it used to be when the option exists to watch it for free in your own home.

Perhaps give local corporate sponsors a large allotment of free GA tickets that they can offer to their employees and their families? OLOL, First Horizon, LHC Group, etc?

Advertise to all public and private schools around Acadiana that students get in free, give them “student ticket” stubs so they can bring that home and show their parents.

As usual, everything showing up here is either satire or free, neither of which pays the bills.

Half the parking pass spots are empty/unfold…sell them per game until full. Why make people pay to park across the street with thousands of unsold parking spots in the gate? I think people will pay for convenience, seems like we are expected to pay for inconvenience

I pay plenty and have a lot of people who would pay per game to park, per game to tailgate, per game for tickets…you will never get season buy in if you don’t get them there for a single game. Nobody goes from zero to all in.

I know RCAF members get premium spots and pay to park in Cajun Field.

I say charge 20 bucks at the gate into Cajun Field. If it fills up, well RCAF members y’all should of came earlier.

They are rows and rows of empty parking inside Cajun Field that are never used each game.

There should be a way have those spots available if people are not going to use them
