Tailgating Discussion

[CrazyCajun]

Game day(concessions and such) inside was terrible during the Hud years and we were putting 25k inside and complaining about the 10k-12k still partying outside. I’m kind of biased because I was in it but losing Lourdes park tailgate changed tailgating for our group since. We would feed 40-60 people every Saturday, could not find enough tickets for people and since then it’s been pretty much the exact opposite. I finally dropped my extra 5 football tickets this year bc I was tired of scanning 7 tickets for 2 people the last couple years

What’s Lourdes Park? Where was Lourdes Park?

Thank you for bringing this up. This is one of the biggest fumbles we have with the whole tailgating issue. The RV lot should be a village. It's tumble weed town right now. I think there are 87 spots. We're consistently missing out on 2/3 of the available "inventory." Speaking of business sense, it makes NO sense to leave 2/3 of your product totally untapped. In all aspects, we need to be much more efficient but in particular, the RV situation needs to be addressed immediately.

I counted 2 RV spots taken when I passed at 4 pm last Thursday.

The red pavilions outside the Tigue before the new stadium baseball stadium was built. We rented the spots from Robe for football season tailgate.

It's been a disaster and a shame. Even if everything else was booming, that RV situation would have to be changed. You want to talk about lost revenue? That's a gaping hole in the revenue bucket.

Thanks, I vaguely remembered it after I asked for explanation.

Not once was I referring to wins and loses. The problems I am referring to will only be fixed with the stadium renovation. If people have no interest what so ever to go into the stadium because it is a dump, of course that will affect the number of people tailgating. The numbers do correlate.

I have yet to hear a ticket holder say, ‘I’m not going into the stadium for the game. It’s a dump’.

And you won't.

A competent team of people can fix many things at once, especially since they have 8 months to work on them. We can fix inside and outside

Where is the RV lot? Did texas am have to pay back in 1996 when their RVs seemed to show up very early and hog up school parking leading up to the game.
