Realistic Game Day Expectations?

[MelRock]

I read through the whole thing. We are surrounded with idiots.

Tell me about it. It is causing me to have an early bourbon. I hope all is well.

Also, the stadium should have been built east to west so that no one was directly in the sun. Most, not all, stadiums are built north/south.

While Louisiana Saturday Nights totally fixes that problem, I find it humorous that they would rather the football team be blinded instead of the fans.

That makes for great football

On the field, and in the stands.

That old fart has already made excuses to not be here in Houston tomorrow.

It’s simple. The administration of the past gave away so many freebies with parking, tailgating, and tickets that it created a sense of entitlement with our fans. I put that on the administration. We never created value with what he had to offer.

Now, we put a price on these things and it threw our fans for a loop. The biggest obstacle is communicating WHY the prices are set the way they are. It’s easy to understand that we have to foot the bill for facilities, coaches salaries, etc. but the average fun probably doesn’t understand that.

Get the messaging out there.

They could at least make a turn around/drop your ___ off then go park spot at that field. I have parking passes but I wouldn’t mind parking really anywhere if I’m not carrying anything. Park across the street and carry chairs, ice chest and food….most of you would be complaining too. Or if people could pull up to tailgate spots and drop their wife kids and gear off then go park, sure dad would hear a lot less complaining too.

How much amenities could have been covered with $10, $25, and $50 RCAF membership drives.

Free two year memberships for graduates would lead to $100s of thousands more in the coffers.

Then you could offset costs and over a 20 year period get prices up to the industry standard.

The point of it is that ordinary fans just see the price increase, and they don't know why. It's like the apparel branding in the clothing store. We ask nat media outlets not to call us "Louisiana," yet that's what's on the shirts in the bookstore.

We have to get the messaging right, so people don't feel they're getting duped which some feel that they are because there's no explanation.
