. . . could be in the running for the worst Cajun fan ever . . .
We’ve had some of the highest attended games in the conference. Granted, many of those were over a decade ago.
Still the most for a championship game by nearly 10k.
We know what the potential is. 20-24 is not the ceiling. It should be the average. Getting a few thousand more to a game is not an impossible feat by any measure.
Now will the administration push the right buttons? Will the community respond? A good case study is the Cajun Chicken basketball game. Just that one thing probably put 2k more in the Dome that night. There was buzz. You can do that for 6 football games I promise you.
1) Thanks for posting these, I will look for them.
2) UL could certainly do a lot more to promote our student-athletes; I believe the only sport that draws to capacity is softball.
3) However, UL could do a lot more to promote all of our student activities. I'd like to see us get out crowds for theatre & art openings, recitals, student research presentations, and the many great things a good university does.
4) Having said that, how much is there to do in Acadiana on a Saturday night, that is simply unavailable in those other towns? To my knowledge, only one of those college towns offers more attractions than we have.
Atlanta.
True, as noted it was a Thursday night game. But Georgia State is much larger than we are. I'll be interested to see, or perhaps someone could look through the historical records: Does Georgia State struggle with attendance even on Saturday nights?
It's all about making UL football a priority to attend.
Seems quite the conundrum. We don't want to be called Lafayette, yet we need support from those in Lafayette who may not have attended UL.
How to do away with all things named Lafayette except Lafayette itself
