    This is the pic I took just before kickoff. 10k is probably right on

    Appreciate the info Beau and Esqueleto. Less than 50% turn out from sold is pretty wild. Must have a decent bit of corporate tickets.

    That South Al crowd is pretty shocking, but I guess it shows how tough it is to get people to a game now. Coming off their best season in program history, coming off a blowout win over a P5 opponent, brand new stadium, etc. etc. can't crack 19,000. There are a few SBC programs who have cracked the code (App, Troy, Southern Miss, and Marshall). Other than that it's varying levels of mediocrity with a few good crowds thrown in every now and then.

    Since they only try to sell season tickets to corporations they lose nothing.

    Everything else is Lagniappe

    Just wondering. I checked the TV watch numbers for some non-espn networks. When you look at similar programs (G5), most of these games have an online viewership in the 100,000 or so numbers. So say that our home games are pulling in similar viewership numbers and if only 10% would go to the game IF they could not watch it on-line - we likely would not be having this discussion.

    I believe that on-line availability is a key culprit for our in-stadium counts. I know of tens of people personally that watch every game on-line. Thus, the question is how much does UL make off of on-line versus people in the seats? It just may be the preference of a large portion of our fanpool to watch at home given that they have this option.

    On-line viewing option is a relatively new challenge that all universities are facing. It was not an option 10 years ago. Much less in the good old days.

    Just a thought...

    If TV money were only counted toward football games and all twelve games are broadcast, Louisiana currently makes about $166,000 per game from TV rights.

    Spread that out amongst all sports broadcast and the value is less.

    Divide it among only home FB games and the value is over $300G
