When you make everything about money....

Such a big deal has been made out of this unfortunate premature notice then and again no how can you wonder why no more fricking notices have been given.

No, its the opposite. The uproar is precisely because there has been ZERO communication about the biggest project in UL football history.

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.

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.

The last two, I understand fans’ frustrations.

The first, Come On, Man.

Have you seen the cost once you get past the ridiculous Ticket Master fees?

Can you give us an example of when that occurred?

They didn’t have the engineering or plans even ready when the notice was sent out. I know you have to appear to support the admin to stay in the secret handshake club to get “breaking news”, but they were not in a position to even consider moving the UD folks this year.

Covid is just convenient cover down the road, like the rest of CV’s list. They had zero engineering and plans at that point in time.

Know your too young to know about the RCC. Started mid 80’s. Had renderings of east side deck, etc., built the CF seating in the curves and no more infrastructure. RCC silently goes away, remains as premium seat charge.

Cajundome, needed an out of office EWE to put the deal together, which is why we have a dome. What looked promising at first is an albatross.

Even Russo park isn’t complete, still need locker rooms.

WE NEVER GET THE BIG THINGS RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.

And plug the giant hole behind the lower seats so that the concession stand can’t be seen.

We charge the same as Florida State for tailgate spots while there’s come with all necessities and ours come with absolutely nothing. And the admin supporters are using this as an example of our price point being correct?!

Thursday I bought 2 tickets at the baseball box office: $20.
I tried to buy them online earlier in the day. $4.50 per ticket. Total after fees: $37.75. No problem when there’s 11K. When it’s a day like homecoming, it’s a pretty big deal not being able to buy before the game.

Link will get you to South Carolina taigating...stadium is a few miles from campus, just a huge parking lot, like what we deal with....have no idea how the costs compare.

Tailgate Concierge seems to cater to independant parking lots.

Lots of much ado about made up stuff. Amazing the lengths we will go through here just to be in a position to be a complaintant.
