They’ve Given Up

[R1Letterman]

You didn't just comment on the parking; you also commented on the product on the field.

2021 produced the greatest season the program has ever experienced. I would say the product was more than pretty good.

At what point should folks be charged to park?

Can't say this enough...as a liberal in a conservative world, I think this (the demand for free or at least very cheap) is so hypocritically Lafayette.

It should probably be some percentage of the ticket price and should not be higher than the ticket price

Walmart has free parking, as does Macy, and Target. When the parking lot is empty, and the stadium half empty you have to give some perks. Free parking costs the university zero dollars, and might actually create revenue streams. That’s business 101.

Not all Macy's have free parking

I was told that there would be logistical issues concerning traffic and the time it would take to scan cards plus the cost of scanners and extra workers.

Makes you wonder how literally every other place in America with a large venue parking lot manages to make it work.

That’s what many here said about last year’s schedule. Weak! It turned out to be very strong.

Weak, in terms of public interest, not in wins and losses. This years schedule is pretty bad.

When I think of tough schedules, I think of playing all of the favorites in our conference, maybe 1 tough game against a good, local G5 and 2 or 3 P5 games.

We don't play App or Coastal. We only have 1 P5 and it's against Minnesota, the Iowa State of the Big 10.

This schedule doesn't get me going, but I will still enjoy it because I am a fan. Nothing gets me going more than P5 games. There is no greater feeling to me than Getting a W at a P5 and walking out with a truckload of cash, except beating TAMU in 96. That was a spiritual experience.

1) TAMU
2) Iowa State
3) First NOLA Bowl

I hope some of the people who sit here and say the university has given up saw the videos of the freshmen convocation, they were teaching the freshmen game cheers, took them throught the tunnel and onto the field, and the class looks huge

Good move.

Did they get all incoming freshment to join a cheer section?

. . . Seems as though this is one surely should not be that difficult to figure out . . .

The university already has the closest to the stadium free parking in America. It cost them or the consumer 0 dollars. Many park there come watch the band bring their own ice chest and leave when the band is over. 0 is the total investment and earning.

Been gone awhile.

This thread is pretty much summing up my interest in athletics.

Think I’ll take another hiatus. Peace out.
