They’ve Given Up

[Datt Meggs]

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.

Seems to work just fine for Mardi Gras fair. Always an excuse. Solution? Cash only parking. It’s not that hard.

The 2021 season ? Why does the 2021 season matter at this point ? But I'll answer. I made all but one home game in 2021. I did not make the championship game. And what do your questions have to do with my comment about parking ?

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.

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

I was there. Biggest freshman class ever. Shocking stat, though - roughly 70% female, 30% male.

Product meaning the matchups. This schedule is very weak and to charge $20-$30 to park is absurd for the quality of entertainment that you have already paid for to see [season tickets etc.]. I'm NOT saying UL will be weak, in fact if this team doesn't win a bare minimum of 9-10 games vs this schedule then there are huge problems.

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

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.

That’s how a #4 guy ends up with an #8 girl.

Parking cards???

Is Mardi Gras at a set start time or an all day thing?

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

Not all Macy's have free parking
