Realistic Game Day Expectations?

[CajunRage]

What made Hud so popular in helping bring attendance to Cajun Field was his way to interact with the community. We need more of that.

He treated the walk up ticket buyer the same as the 6 figure donor.

And they showed up because of it.

As for the gameday experience, yes. It has to get better.

Some people want the coach to shake there hand and thank them for coming when they walk in. He DA coach. You DA fan. Go to fan day for dat.

Y’all ever wonder how good we could have been under Hud if he would have coached more than rah rah the fans.

No better than we were. He was a rah rah coach at the exact time we needed him. There’s a reason he’s coaching high school now.

Maybe I’m just old school. I want a football coach to coach and win games. Keep the program clean. Sure a few public appearances here and there.

I’d rather the players getting out in the community rallying fans. With nil can’t we pay them to do it?? Haha

Might have been worse.

Just an idea. After pages upon pages on RP how to “fix” attendance, thought a cooler surface to tailgate on was an idea. Parking, I’ve done both, parked at CF and walk. Makes me no difference.

I don't understand what you are talking about, but it sounds complicated. The problem is not what the RCAF charges for parking, or tailgating in the sector of the field. The real problem is there is no tailgating area across the road for the little people, or the "casual fan". Instead of free parking across the road they should be charging ten bucks to become a member of the "outsiders club". You have the hoity toys on the inside with their high falooting motor homes & big dogs who have their private parking areas.
What you need is a 10 dollar fee to park & tail gate on the other side of the road with a band, concessions port a potties & people can bring their chairs & ice chests without having to drag them a mile to bust in on someone else's tailgating spot. You market it like these people get to have their own club which is rebellious in nature to the fancy Dan RCAF club. You market it as counter culture & have great music & a place where the kids can play without getting in trouble & you'd get people wanting to pay for something that's free now. but it would have to be marketed.

I don't know how many of you have been to a nascar event. But there isn't just one band & one event going on at Nascar. every single parking & RV area has their own bands at night & their own thing going on for each area around the track. That's how they attract 250 thousand people at a time.

NASCAR has been dying since 3 died. Throw in stage racing and now basically full size electric slot cars next year, it’s dead.

I’d only watch a super speedway race just as a morbid curiosity. I want to see when the “big one” happens, the methods used to put out a lithium fire. And the weight of the vehicles will be greater and a lower center of gravity, so when a car breaks loose, it could be interesting.
