    I don't need a return per se but expect good utilization of my donations. I was giving a few grand from the last few years. When they brought back Marlin I dropped my contributions to $250. Now after the cluster that is game day at Cajun field, it might be zero.

    Did anyone with RCAF or the athletic department contact you when your contributions went down significantly?

    If renew day would have been on Homecoming when they shut down the major entrance to CF for a freaking parade and I sat in traffic for 2 hrs trying to get into the gates I would have dropped then too.

    I had show up at CD to drop off my parking pass payment because no one could answer me over the phone.

    I can't think of another business contingent on a small clientele base who wouldn't bother to contact one of their few clients when that person cuts their spending back to an 1/8th of what it used to be.

    Several people close to me and numerous folks on here have mentioned dropping or slashing donations. I ask the same question every time (did anyone from UL ask you why), and I always get the same answer. Lannister has the correct idea that my question is probably laughable to even ask at this point. At least I'm not too scared to still ask it.

    I have been in the same tailgating spot since the 90s and it has never been free. Like bread eggs and milk it has gone up. But tailgate spots inside of Cajun field gates have always had a price on them since the end of stokley days.

    Please explain how expansion of ambassador Caffery, Youngsville, Carencro, and Broussard hinder attendance?
    Not totally true. Those spots from the maintenance building to the stadium were pay spots; everything else was free until well into the Bustle era. We had to beg the administration to charge us for our spot under the big oak tree near the College fenceline about 50 yards north of Rhinehart.

    I did get a call about basketball season tickets that I didn't renew lol.

    But RCAF should have automated messages sent out to people who have large percentage drops. With an option for a good call-back time if wanted.

    For basketball I got my usual call for renewal. I decided to wait until the last minute. Went online to buy, and it showed the whole Dome unavailable. I should've taken that as a sign, but I drove my dumbass to the Dome and bought one. I like the acoustics in empty arenas.

    They didn't call me after 42 years.

    I got my spot about 20 yards past the maintenance building just on the other side of the gravel/blacktop road in 1998. I think I paid $100 for the year. There were very few people beyond me all the way to Bertrand. I may have been the last one to have a paid spot until Bustle.
