When you make everything about money....

[fanof71]

Long concession lines when we have 11k people in a 41k seat stadium is not big time. Having security guards standing behind students making sure every word they say is Disney approved is not big time. Promoting well for 2 days out of a 10+ month period is not big time. People having to drive to your box office during the week to avoid insane fees instead of being able to purchase online is not big time. Choosing to ignore your team’s biggest accomplishments is not big time. Driving students away by moving them back and forth is not big time. People telling you for 5 years your speaker system is insanely loud and ignoring them is not big time. Scanners never working is not big time. Overpriced flooded tailgate spots is not big time. Horrible merchandise that goes against your branding efforts is not big time. Letting your field fade to pink is not big time. Letting one of your 2,000 donors walk away without a phone call to see what’s up is not big time. The lack of care and pride our admins show in their jobs is not big time.

I’m not making ANY excuses. I’ll be there regardless. I’ll be damned though if I’m gonna sit by and watch people lie and say this university is doing everything it can. You want people to believe you’re big time: wake up and act like it. Have a little pride.

He's telling it like it is!

Keep reading that athletic administration reads RP, posts, follows RR, then f'ing pay attention, stand up and quite hiding behind your excuses, get you zzz in gear and Fix. This. Mess. Before it's too late....

I agree with everything that you said. I never said we were big time. I said folks want to be big time but yet they don't support the effort to be big time. On the other hand the administration doesn't do there part also and they wonder why we have 4500 folks show up for a D1 football game.

The problem is we have too many seats and too much parking, so the supply GREATLY outweighs the demand. You can't charge for oversupplied parking and tailgating spots because the result is what we are witnessing.
If the stadium was on-campus nobody would complain about whatever you'd have to pay for parking or a tailgate spot.
The problem was created when whatever genius decided to build the stadium in the largest, dustiest, trashiest parking lot in Louisiana, but can't change that now, unfortunately.

Business 101. People that complain about the complainers seem to forget this very simple fact.

Bullseye. And btw, people that put their money where their mouth is have earned the right to "complain."

Well said.

Turbine could pick out the rants out of here, give them to the administration and call it “Alden Report Addendum” or “continuum management for dummies”.

As have the long time casual fan. The difference is their complaint is not showing up for tailgating and attendance

All of this is very accurate

The only benefit of having these sparse crowds should be quick concessions but it's still slow AF. Not sure how that's possible

This is the post of the century. So, so true.

Metcalf wasn't fulfilling his end of the contract so he was asked to leave. I support the university on that decision. But why haven't we approached Pizzaville or Pizza Village? Somebody in this town must be interested in making money...

Would love to take over the daiquiris, but I'm sure our remaining fans love that nuclear green margarita in the plastic champagne flute or whatever the f... that thing is - SMH !
