When you make everything about money....

I have a question for the board. Why are so many of us smashing our brain cells together trying to figure out how to get more people to the games when there are supposed to be people getting paid to sweat this mess? I haven't heard a single one of them on the stump singing the old fight song & rallying the troops to circle the wagons this season & protect the house. In fact they don't even see the need to put up a SBC championship banner to show off on national television the last couple of times we've been on.

I mean, who thinks had UL hung a big SBC banner off the bell tower it wouldn't have been splashed all over national TV at regular intervals during these games? I don't guess anyone sees the need that putting up a 50 dollar banner could possibly help recruiting in any way? Gees people, this is like urinating up a rope. I just don't think it's ever gonna go that direction.

A banner would cost more than $50.

What does softball questions have to do with any of this?

Important people LOVE softball questions.

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.

Well said coach.

From what I have heard from fans, the feedback I get is the tickets are too expensive; the lines to concessions are too long; and the games lack enthusiasm and energy. So all three of those traits are missing. Until we get those three things right and market it to the community consistently, we will continue to have crowds of 10-15k.

The last two, I understand fans’ frustrations.

The first, Come On, Man.

Speaking of stadium there was mention of a ticker being installed at some point last year. Whatever happened to that

Sometimes it's the little things. Here's an example. For the last few years I could walk into Cajun Field and get a Deano's Pizza for $7. Went to get one this year and Deano's is no longer there. Instead, Papa John's is now selling pizza. I bought one. I took one bite. It was the worst pizza I have ever eaten. It tasted like cardboard. I threw it away. I don't know why Deano's was replaced by Papa John's. If it's because Papa John's paid more than Deano's was paying to sell pizza at games, that's a crying shame.

Good point but I will explain it how I was told. Deano' cancelled becuase they were unable to get enough staff to work.

I hope it changes as I hope we are able to fill CF with a good selection of vendors!

His softball radar goes off even when it has nothing to do with actual softball. He can’t help himself.
