Attendance!?

[zeppelincajun]

You are not wrong, but going into this season with a 13-game winning streak they had definitely leveled up.

Part of the problem was absolutely no public ticket drive WHILE leveled up.

A lot more people would be attending 4pm games if they had made their discretionary decisions and their tickets since July.

Just to clarify when I mentioned getting to the level of the rest of the league I was referring to fan support not on field performance. As shown in my post earlier today, our attendance this past Saturday was 7k+ less than the average for the SBC on the week and that’s with 2 teams playing midweeks. The conference is not limiting us so much at this point as we are setting the conference back.

I definitely agree though that we are lacking a strong season ticket push.

Has anyone here ever seen a better promotional push by UL than the one done for the App State game in 2019 before or since? Imagine that kind of push to get people on board for an entire season.

People around here and in the state do not care period. I went to a restaurant in Scott after the game with Cajun gear. People asked me if the Cajuns won. Then everyone had to tell me that LSU won and what a great game it was. I smiled and said that’s great while it took every fiber in my being to not to tell them I don’t give a flip about LSU. It’s just the way it is.

I heard they even rushed the field afterward. How pathetic is that? UBR fans rushing the field after beating hotty totty. My my how the mighty have fallen.

Since 1998:

Home games starting between 4:00pm and 4:10pm: 20 wins, 14 losses, average attendance 18,021.

Home games starting between 6:00pm and 6:10pm: 25 wins, 12 losses, average attendance 21,305.

71 games seems low. That’s only an average of 3 games a year starting in those time frames.

I know we’ve had some midweeks and maybe a couple 11:00 games but still seems low

Just realized I am missing some times for 1998-2000. I will limit it to 2001 to present. Games started at 41 different times. Found some other errors but the conclusion is the same.

Games starting between 4 and 410pm: 23-14, average 18,021
Games starting between 6 and 610pm: 32-12, average 20,677

Jesus, you need more to do at work, lol

[LouisianaB]

Jesus, you need more to do at work, lol

I’ve built the database over the last few years.

[USLJim]

Has the Administration even considered our ideas on how to increase attendance ??

Have any changes been made?

I felt like attendance was pretty sparse?

Do you really think this administration is gonna listen to the common fan. They only listen to those who give big bucks. He has lost the middle class due to all the frickin fees and add ons to come to a game. Remember when we had free general admission parking inside the stadium, then they moved us across the street and charged us $10 a vehicle, that failed. We are not a white collar university, we are a working class university, in a suppressed market. Times are tough, figure out how you can make it affordable for a middle class family to come to a game.
Why aren’t we drawing outside of our area? People aren’t traveling from NO and Houston anymore, 2 and 3 hours away.
Our university is so liberal and the majority of the students don’t care about athletics.
When I was in school, The Greek system supported all sports, now with suspension, this woman is ruining, from what I’ve heard, is destroying the Greek life on campus. It’s time to be heard from the Baby Boomers, cause when we’re gone the alumni support is almost GONE.

From another thread.

Since 1998:

Home games starting between 4:00pm and 4:10pm: 20 wins, 14 losses, average attendance 18,021.

Home games starting between 6:00pm and 6:10pm: 25 wins, 12 losses, average attendance 21,305.

That is not necessarily true. Numbers 4,6,7,9and 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.
