Realistic Game Day Expectations?

Concessions at Rice were all outsourced, but I was able to get my Papa John’s Pizza in 2 minutes no problem. I also liked the clean renovated bathrooms there.

Yeah…you could get food fairly quickly. Then again, I’d be surprised if there were more than 8k in that stadium, and red outnumbered navy. I’d NEVER want Cajun Field to have fast concession lines due to that.

Visitor’s side ran out of beer too within the first half, from what I understood. Guess they didn’t plan for the number of coonasses that showed up.

Yeah, beer ran out pretty quick, and it's something I've come to expect when we travel. Maybe it's by design? LOL. I expect to empty the ULM beer buckets next Saturday, too.

Last time at ULM we accomplished that prior to game time.

Food Trucks are the most economic and practical way to add good concessions.

Even the Rougarou did that this summer in Baton Rouge.

UL does have a unique tradition started by the softball fans. It has been duplicated at volleyball games and pregame tailgating Under the Oaks. They play the song, Haterz by Kieth Frank while the fans do the line dance to the song. Want to make game day fun? Play this song during the games!

You could teach it to the students and fans before the game during tailgating. Then make it a fun experience during the game with views on the Jumbotron. It could be played between quarters or a media time out.

Just saw on Facespace that the evil empire is opening up the PMAC on game days for concessions, TVs with games around the country on to watch….and all the while in the AC.

By the way, just posted this pto Facebook. (Yes, I Facebook)

“Just Curious.

If Festival International were to rope off the immediate vicinity of the stage and in order to get into that area and have CajunVic to the bands you’d have to pay, say, $100 or you would have to watch from a distance…

Would you still go?”

I don’t understand your analogy. At Cajun field everyone has equal access to the action on the field. Some a little higher than others. No one is being roped off.

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

How much does it usually take to warrant an early bourbon?

In today's world, not much.

I believe in todays world you can always find a warrant for an early bourbon . . . and if not, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere . . .

Truth. The fact is Lafayette is a ‘gotta be part of the crowd’ kind of place, and despite all our success many still don’t view us as the ‘in’ thing to do. Hud had lots of issues, but he sure was able to turn that around and show us what is possible. Hopefully a local guy like Dez will be able to do the same.

This is true. Lafayette always has been and will be a big LSU haven. A lot of kids here don't even apply to UL and only plan on going to LSU. It seems worse now that my kids are in HS than it did back when I was in HS. Truth is we have a lot of people here who didn't even go to LSU but rather UL and their disposable income goes across the basin. Sure, they'll show up here for a big game if LSU isn't playing or on the road or such but their money is spent in BR. It sucks.
