Tailgate spot wanted

“The next is when Billy’s team had the BLM (self proclaimed Marxist’s) march that ended at the police station that really p!$$€d some people off including the Lafayette PD. Several people have vowed to never come back after that incident.”

Should this new football team & coaches have a law enforcement appreciation day similar to military appreciation day? Would this help to bring back those disgruntled fans?

It won't. If there even is a small subset of "fans" that are claiming those two incidents as to why they have pulled support, I fully believe that it's merely a convenient excuse for them to stay home and watch the game on ESPN+.

Agreed Redtails

Right.

Excuse #……

Maybe. But people are speaking against this kind of wokeism with their dollars more than ever today. Just ask bud light and target. You can call it an excuse but it is reality.

There’s always an excuse for not attending a game at Cajun field. But these same people will do whatever they can to make it across the basin or find a tigger watch party on that same Saturday. Disgusting

I don't think its the same people or you wouldn't have seen a dropoff because they would have already been on the other shore.

You are right but unfortunately, I think many on here are missing the boat as to why our tailgates aren’t packed any more. And it has nothing to do with where people park or people walking by empty parking spots and getting up set. It is not a parking thing at all.

The reason attendance is down today is because of 2 different incidents. If you look at the dates and the attendance decline I think you’ll find they coincide with one another.

The first one is the F DJT video that took place in the locker room. The video was bad enough. 18 - 22 year old misguided youth can be forgiven. But when Hud came out and basically called 60% of Louisiana a bunch of hypocrites because they voted for Trump and not Clinton that turned a lot of folks away that haven’t come back.

The next is when Billy’s team had the BLM (self proclaimed Marxist’s) march that ended at the police station that really p!$$€d some people off including the Lafayette PD. Several people have vowed to never come back after that incident.

Lafayette, like it or not, is one of the most conservative cities in America. You can’t do that kind of stuff and think it won’t have a lasting effect. Don’t believe me just ask Bud Light. I don’t know what the answer would be to get those people back but hopefully someone can figure it out.

Maybe partially on those.

Another correlation would be the downturn in attendance corresponded to the downturn in the local offshore O&G market that started late 2014 into 2015. Disposable income for alot of local companies went way down at that time

Damn right.

Go woke, Go not to Cajun Field.

We should monetize the hell out of everything... except parking. Damn right, C4L. You said it best. Make it a party. Throw the doors open.
