How to Increase Attendance?

[Ragin9221]

They rock top tier opponents !! I know

They are able to keep it exciting and fresh

Maybe we need some mountains

I'd settle for a real fall....which would then be determined to be too cold, cold to sit in a stadium...

Build a 15000 seat stadium with standing room (expandable) capacity. It really is embarrassing to say 15k was decently ok attendance. I don’t believe if you had free tailgating with free tickets and free beer you could fill that stadium.

And please quit quit quit with the whole “we need better opponents” argument. I’ve never been to any sporting event to see the opposing team, ever.

We need to figure out how App State is able to create a buzz around there program.

It just seems like we cant create that same type of buzz !

They won national championships and packed a 17k seat stadium for years, creating an incredible atmosphere

Maybe if the team won 16 games in a row then the buzz will be created?

I mean, no team in college football wins 16 games in a row. I believe that is it.

Then get caps, shirts, balloons, billboards etc. that’s it, never tried before.

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.
