Grading the Game Day Experience

[KajunKrazy]

I agree that connectivity is one of the biggest issues. But also, isn't it ashamed that we can't separate ourselves from our idiot boxes for just a few hours? How in the world did we ever survive without our electronics!

They no longer have the printed programs. The phone is a must if you like looking at rosters and so forth during the game.

I understand the band has a new director. The other two that were directing the last few years are now gone. I think the new guy's name is Popp. I was hoping he would bring something new. He did not. Same old stuff fans have been hearing for the last number of years.

I am glad the band director kept with tradition. They even played a new song besides those during the halftime performance.

What tradition? They play the same crap over and over.

I heard that the band director told the entire band that they were not allowed to use the word Louisiana in any discussion anywhere to anyone. Any truth to this rumor, LOL!!!!

I like to check with the knuckleheads on here during the long TV timeouts, and this week I had no trouble getting a good signal at any time during the game saturday. Last year was much different.

Could not even do that. I just laughed when my wife scanned the code on the jumbotron knowing it was going to be an epic fail.

Look I am not the atheltic director but if I was in charge.

1-Change the Parking situation

2. Create a tailgate area with live bands, food trucks, vendors, face paintings etc., championship square type of thing

3. Have a Bar with tables, a concourse with TV’s in the NEZ. Where people can hang out

4. Have the band play more hip modern music, come up with a fanfare, and work with the director of bands to create a atmosphere of bigger schools, for example have something like USC Trojan Tribute, FSU tomahawk chop, Notre Damn Rakes of Mallow, create a tradition!

5. Have food trucks and restaurants inside Cajun Field.

6 Have a theme at every Cajuns game! oyster Fest. Cajun Fest. Etc.

7. Have a mascot, and preferably something like FSU, Boomer, Sooner etc. have a alligator man come out with a live alligator and parade it around Cajun Field for pregame.

8. Have an actual mascot!

1. How would you change it? It's already the easiest and cheapest anywhere. It's literally FREE right across the street.

2. Not sure if still accurate but that was the plans for where the Cox building currently is once torn down.

3. Would be a major renovation of that area. There's also a giant scoreboard right there. Currently have tables in southwest corner to rent. Not sure how often they are used.

4. The band added Trombone Shorty to their list. Not sure what you want them to play.

5. See Sodexo problem. Local restaurants are currently in Cajun Field concession areas.

6. There are themes each game. Sounds like you're asking for more of a different festival each game.

7 & 8. Many threads already on this one.

So do you have any ideas for a revitalization of our gameday experience or do you think it’s already up to your expectations and those required to grow the fanbase?

[CajunNation]

It's real easy.

We are Cajuns. We are known worldwide for "laissez les bon temps rouler!" Anything that hinders this spirit like long beer lines, student harassment by UP, overpricing, harassment of tailgaters by UP and blaring obscenities on the PA should never happen.

You're welcome.
