FCS Attendance for 2022 & 5 Year Avg.

[CajunsHat]

The percentages are the attendance vs capacity.

The first % is the amount of change from 2021 to 2022 and the far right % is the average change in 5 years

Here is another embarrassing/alarming statistic. I’ve looked and I might be 1 or 2 off so.

According the the 5 year average! We have lost more fans than 125 schools.

Another way of looking at it we are in the bottom 5 of Division I-A football when it comes to gaining/losing fans on the 5 year average!

Who do we blame? The fans? Nah I don’t think so. I also don’t blame our choice in coaches.

It all has to do what is happening on game day, Marketing, Branding, Parking, Concessions, Tailgating etc.

Everything this board complains about and all the solutions they have presented.
Have they done it?

Every week we have a thread on how to improve attendance.

. . . can you honestly sit here with a straight face and say that any of that stuff would make a substantial difference in how much of Acadiana shows up on Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday at Cajun Field . . .

[Ragin9221]

Yes I do the administration has dug this hole and they need to figure out on how to dig themselves out.

No one said it would be easy.

. . . so, no blame for the fans or those who have chosen not to be attending fans . . .

Nope ! If I had a business and I lose business is that fault of the people that spend money at that business, or the people who run the business ?

If my livelyhood is based on blaming people for not coming to my place, instead of figuring out why they are not coming and implementing change I be out on the streets.

to be fair, most of the ideas posted on here are really bad or just do not make sense to implement.

It does look like administration has thrown in the towel and are just sitting and waiting to release big plans for after the CF renovation,

"None" would be the right answer unless one was speaking for the administration.

Edwin Lewis Stephens, Marshall Field, Harry Selfridge, John Wanamaker and Cesar Ritz would all agree.

. . . that’s my point . . . when fans are more interested in excuses than being fans . . . Are they really fans . . . and will they really come because a line might be shorter or a burger might be better or a beer might be colder . . . well maybe I’ll give you the last one . . .

They are not presented in a power point presentation but there are usually ideas that can be, expounded on or a much smaller version given consideration.

At the very least you find what is important to various portions of the fan base.

Not everyone who walks into a department store will want the same thing.
