Reasons for 2023 Football Optimism

[CajunVic]

You are assuming that many people really like going to football games . . .

[zephyr]

Yeah the RCAF controls the teams we play and the crowd size. LMAO

He has a point. Many people I know gave up their tickets and/or tailgating spots because of the rising cost of keeping them while the game experience has never really improved. You see it every week during the season here with the amount of griping that goes on about it. When the costs outweigh the experience certain people will choose to stay away.

"LSU town" is defeatist and so ingrained in the psyche that it is virtually irrelevant.

Even if someone claimed 1/3 of Tiger Stadium is filled with Acadiana residents (not possible) there is still untapped potential for Louisiana growth.

So much potential, just add effort.

You are right as there is room for growth but the question is how. Also, we're not just talking about attendance. You know how many UL alumni are in BR on gamedays just tailgating and watching from their spot? There are so many people who are alumni or didn't even go to UL that send there money and spend their time in BR. Its undeniable.

and once people make that decision, it’s hard to have it reversed . . . years of people making that decision even during winning years mount up and that is where we find ourselves today . . .

When you can't move the needle forward after a championship season, that's a problem...looking at you Maggard...

You are wasting your time trying to explain it to him. You get an A for effort

You told me to GTFO! Read next time, homie. UCF is P5!

UCF is P5 right now or will be?

[JMV JustMyView]

The money grabbing RCAF ‘program’ does indeed control the crowd size. You are just to dumb to realize it.

Let me guess you are looking for free parking?

The population isn't static.

There are people knowledgeable about the game of football, and hungry for live action moving into Acadiana all the time.

UL doesn't have enough baskets for all the low hanging fruit. Right now the administration is content to let it fall to the ground and decay.

[CajunVic]

I guess Louisiana needs to start soliciting baskets as donations.

Sure. Why would I NOT want free parking inside the fences of Cajun Field?
