When you make everything about money....

I haven't seen a single complaint yet.

I've seen recommended areas that should be addressed and ideas to make things better.

In the end the idea is to Win the Event.

It starts with identifying areas of strength now and in the past and seeing how the positive can be enhanced upon and the negative diminished and replaced.

Tailgate Concierge seems to cater to independant parking lots.

But, but, but, that's revenue that could go to RCAF....

Biggest obstacle to overcome:
People in the Lafayette area will complain no matter what the administration does. We’re not the purple team so they think everything should be free.

On price, we are at the right price point if they can overcome the Lafayette Little Brother attitude. Parking next to the stadium at Southeastern (like ours inside the fence) is $25 per game. Tailgate spot at Florida State is $500 per year for a basic spot (comes turnkey with tent, chairs, & ice chest). Good luck parking anywhere near the stadium at Florida State without a parking pass. Even their tailgate area charges $35 a person to enter. However, UL can offer everything for free and the Lafayette people will still find a BS excuse to stay home.

But who enabled the people of Lafayette to complain?

When you have previous administrations giving away free things for decades at a time before slapping expensive price tags out of nowhere for amenities like tailgating, people are going to naturally throw their hands up and complain. That’s why the messaging needs to be clear. Explain to the fans WHY prices are going up. Shock and Awe will always backfire in instances like this.

Yes, most are double and more . . .

I have a complaint about you Turbine . . .

Can you give us an example of when that occurred?

Free parking across the street is a prime example.

WRONG. WRONG. WRONG.
We are not App. We are not Florida St. We are not anyone else but us. We are a unique case. It's time people stop comparing our situation to anything else.

Stop politicking for the admin, dude. Yes, there will always be some that complain. But the MAJORITY will stop complaining when the simple things are taken care of.

I’m not politicking for anyone, just pointing out examples at other schools.

You’re right about previous administrations. However, many of those same people complaining said they would start going to games if we win. Well, we won and they still didn’t show up but are still complaining because it’s too “expensive” or “lines are too long”. Those same people don’t complain while going to games at other schools and dealing with the same issues.

At the other schools the nachos cheese isn't cold.

Wasn’t it $10 to park across the street at one time? Counterpoint: why not make parking free inside the fence at CF? It’s not like there ever wasn’t enough room.
