    People stay away from CF because they've been conditioned to.
    I wanted to tell you, I was at the gate when it opened Saturday. I did some recon work & checked out the areas to the south where I had never been before just to see the facilities. They were nice. The ticket takers were quick & cordial & there was an older more experienced sheriff's deputy at the NW end zone who when the line started to get a little deep had the people with paper stubs get into two lines & everyone else stay in the same lines & they just tore the stubs. It immediately relieved the line at the gate. There were more people to serve food than there was buying food for the most part. And the music wasn't so loud it would bust your ear drums.

    They have pretty much addressed all they were able to without spending more money. Let's face it stadium food is never going to be as good as tail gating food, or home cooking. But the jambalaya looked pretty delicious although I was full from another Old tyme poboy. They still haven't bothered to put up an extra gate on the corner across the street by the Northwest entrance to the stadium.

    But having been to the place across the river, I can tell you UL is a way more laid back fun lace to watch a game. The prices are astronomically cheaper. The entertainment value is just as good. The only thing this stadium really needs is a better replay screen & sound system. Other than that, marketing marketing, marketing!

    4pm is an awesome time to go to a game ... if you are going to the game no matter what.

    I've seen the second half of a lot of 4pm games but I have never been to a 4pm game start-to-finish.

    I've been to a midweek game that started at 9pm and yes that was a chore afterwards.

    Louisiana Saturday Nights always has the best attendance.

    So what you're saying is you have to work on Saturday at 4 PM. would this be correct?

    That is not necessarily true. Numbers 4,6,7,8,9 and 12 in all time attendance were all afternoon games. 1,2,3, and 5 the visitors brought more people than any of the previous mentioned afternoon games. The Saturday night thing is a myth.

    Thanks for posting the data. At no point did I get the feeling that 6 and 4 are all that different.

    But the never been to a game or the one game a year crowd don't think that way.
    Esqueleto is a great UL fan.

    I know.

    I don't think he has missed a game in years. Home and away.

    So it can be said that time and date is almost irrelevant to him.

    He has missed a few, but not much.
