Tailgate spot wanted

[RaisingCajun08]

One can earn the right to get a parking pass for a donation of 100 dollars. One could split that into 4 quarterly payments of 25 dollars. If one doesn’t see that as affordable one should be ok with a short walk across the street. If one doesn’t go to a game because of parking at Cajun field one is really not a fan. UL has the closest free parking you will find anywhere in the FBS.

For many people, its not about the money. Its about principle. I used to donate a whole lot more to the RCAF. When they start taking away benefits like parking passes and now give me a "earn the right" message, they lost way more than the $60 worth of parking passes.

I now do the minimum just like the administration and RCAF executives.

I agree that our parking situation is way better than most stadiums. Its simple economics. As long as I walk by empty parking spots inside Cajun Field, I will continue to walk a little further for free.

Good points. We have parked across Congress, but they need to cut the grass.

Each time I’ve come in for games I stay at the Hilton across Congress and walk across. Not terrible at all.

Also how many schools give students free admission just with ID.... (and even if it were free, the availability wouldn't be there for any student who wants)
P.s. how will electronic only affect the student ID entrance process?

Just curious if they did open cajun field to non RCAF parking for a pay to park each game. What would be a rate you would be ok with? 15, 20, 25…?

Two tickets for that particular game purchased beforehand.

Mardi Gras fair was $20 to park

The problem is not the walking it’s not anything it just puts a bad taste inside peoples mouth when they cross over and all you see is a bunch of empty parking!

Here you are parking across congress just to park when they would of paid 20 bucks just to park at Cajun Field.

It’s like ULM no one is complaining about the 10 dollar parking because when you go there it is filled closest to the stadium

$20 should be a good number. Probably with a “designated” location for game day parking. I think the idea of having game tickets is good. But I’d be fine without them too. Still $$ in athletic department’s coffers.
Probably “too hard” for UL to handle though …..

Agree 20 would be the minimum. Many people who aren’t in the current reserved area are your walk up ticket purchasers. So ticket in hand wouldn’t be a good idea.

Are you saying if you have 2 tickets purchased before hand you park for free inside of cajun field?

Id be good with paying $20 which is basically equal to the cost of a Lot D parking pass. Again, its not about the money. Its the principle.

Yup.

If simply seeing empty parking spaces is a turn-off, I'd give folks with pre-purchased single game tickets access to the parking adjacent to Cajun Field.

My personal experience is there is more than a handful of folks who are tailgating but not going to the games. So I'd hate to simply give these folks parking just to go tailgate.

At least if they are buying tickets, you are getting (even faux) butts in the stands.
