Realistic Game Day Expectations?

[RedTails]

Correct we have the most p__$$yfied fan base in America. We are not other places and it’s embarrassing how much we not.

Something else worth note about Boone drawing good crowds besides winning tradition. Their average temps in August and September are in the 70s. I know personally, when we dip into the 70s in the fall you can’t keep me inside.

ESPN+ and temps in the upper 90s gonna keep the casual fan home.

It looks like the minimum donation to the RCAF to be eligible to purchase a parking pass is 100 dollars according to the website. I bet if you ask the people at that level why they give the answer would be to get the pass, more than it would be to support the athletic program. Many have said they would pay on a per game basis to park inside Cajun field. At the 100 dollar level plus the 60 buck per season it comes out to 26.66 per game. The university could charge 30 bucks per game for those that want a per game price. You could shrink some of the lots around it at the higher levels that aren't being used and make that lot bigger to accommodate more traffic. Parking problem solved.

Bottom line is you will never get the crowd we desire and have everyone park inside the gates of Cajun field.

This right here. If its all about the appearance of full parking lots this should do it.

My brother in law finally decided to start coming to Cajun football games and tailgates this year. His company has tickets and he will tailgate at my spot so wanted to get some parking passes so I told him to go to RCAF. He gets there and wants to buy 2 parking passes. The $100 RCAF and $60 pass is for F which is on the east side by the dome so says he wants on the tailgate side parking lots. So is told to get a D pass it would $300 RCAF and the amount for the pass, okay no problem asks to buy 2 and is told that would require $1500 donation. At this point he is confused and kind of irritated bc that’s comes out to about $135 to park per game per car. So he and his wife would spend $270 to park per game. Here is the kicker, he ask well can’t I just put one in my wife’s name and one in mine we each pay $300 plus the $60…and she says you certainly can. Wtf? RCAF is a cluster and we wonder why the parking lot is half empty? Money isn’t really an issue with him either but he couldn’t believe how ridiculous the whole ordeal was.

What’s the problem? He should just hike his ass across congress if he doesn’t like it….

And some will tell you with a straight face that they welcome all who want to be fans…

That is a problem. They asked me with one donation if i wanted to buy one or 2 passes. Under trained employees will run folks off.

Wow that is crazy. When folks try to give them money sometimes it is even hard. One year they tried to say I didn't renew my RCAF and I had to send them a copy of my credit card transaction for proof. Then they just blamed their business system. You are correct it is a cluster at times.

Agreed, a new customer standing there wanting to give you $420 just to park and you try making him pay $1620….TO PARK!

It is kind of like the time I bought nacho at a SB game and she asked with or without cheese. I said with cheese and she said that is was an extra $2 bringing the price up to $7. When I told her the sign says nachos and cheese $5 she had to ask another work if we still charge for cheese or not. It is hilarious at times the folks running ____ like this.

Yeah by that time he can't even afford to enter the gate of CF. Unbelievable.

One of my friends got charged like this for opening day of baseball. Just a ridiculous operation.

And yet many will blame the fan for choosing not to come back….
