App State FB Season Tickets Sold Out

[RaginScotsman]

We have all this staff that just got promoted to very important sounding titles. Some with “marketing” attached. I sure hope they are working. Having anxiety thinking about walking into Cajun field this year, looking around and thinking “again?”

Whole other off-season to think and plan after seeing the sad attendance results from last year. Show something. Be transparent about your efforts. Don’t get complacent and ride on the coattails of the success of other sports this year. Football takes work to hook folks outside of your core group.

That really irrelevant. LSU is just an excuse for us to not draw. We aren’t talking 70k…it’s 30k in a metro of 500-650k.

In a metro of 500-650k that feel more connected to TSAB.

My guess is App State's casual/bandwagon fans follow UNC basketball (App State basketball following is nonexistent) the way casual Cajun fans follow LSU. But there was a vacuum for a winner in football in that state, and App State fit the bill.

Same reason there's a lot of Cowboy fans in South LA from the 80s/90s teams that aren't Saints fans.

I edited my post, tell what I stated that is not true?

We have LSU.

They have UNC, Wake, NC St, ECU, Duke and Charlotte to deal with.

Each program draws well over there. The excuse we use is LSU when the reality is we haven’t developed a fan base. We haven’t provided Acadiana with a reason to support athletics.

The University treats fans like 2nd class citizens and doesn’t foster a sense of inclusion like LSU does. Instead we drive fans away in droves with our messaging.

I don’t blame Maggard, that solely at the feet of the last two Martin Hall administrations.

No way

"All six opponents traveling to Boone made postseason appearances a year ago."

Meanwhile, TWO of our home opponents were in bowls last year and the best game of the two is another Thursday night disaster

Unfortunately one is ho-hum and one is an excitement creator.

This years schedule was 80% made under Napier.

When I saw the thread title, I knew the Cajuns weren't involved.

Ima enjoy the product we have right now. I renewed my tickets already. I am hoping for the best and hope we get back to the SBC championship game. Stadium renovation begins and then the sky is the limit with all the momentum hopefully we will get from the new stadium and a good season! Let’s Geaux! Keep fighting the good fight and supporting this UL football team!

Do we have any idea on the actual season tickets sold for UL football as of now?

My man, I drove the Tech corridor for 2 straight years. None of those programs are close to Boone, NC. Boone is completely on the West side of the state from Tabacco Row. They aren't affected by anything on the other side of the state. There are no college football programs within the state that have sniffed a national championship.

The Appalachian State program has tradition and there are no parallels' between the Ragin Cajun program period.
