How to pack Cajun Field against Texas State?

[RedTails]

There's an elementary school in Broussard/Youngsville (Martial Billeaud) that is teaching their entire school of kids the UL fight song for Paint the Town Red homecoming event. Principal is a big UL fan. Need more of that in all of our local schools.

The issues that have driven fans away still exist. Until UL decides to visibley fix these issues, 22k or 50% full stadium will be about the max...it's a boring, loud, expensive experience...

It depends what you comparing to, to say its expensive. If you compare it to peer institutions we have a very good price on tickets and concessions. If you are comparing it to Lafayette high or Comeaux then yeah its expensive.

We need to be careful with "outside the stadium promotions" for a 3pm kickoff. It will be too enticing for some to remain outside.

My ideas?

This should a nuclear powered Fan appreciation event.

Focus on cheap tickets, cheap parking and cheap food.

"Family" the crap out of this game. Gear everything towards the kids.

As many free giveaways as possible. Should be one huge giveaway at Halftime.

Do not hassle anyone for anything.

Give free tickets to youth football league kids. They will bring parents.

This is the mistake that the school keeps making, in my opinion...

Like it or not, G5 football is low stakes to most people. To casual fans, Texas State might as well be another FCS game. If you have to explain to someone WHY a match up us important, then those tickets should be $12-15

But again, selling 25k at $12.50 is STILL more money than selling 15k at $20.... and they're INSIDE THE STADIUM.. buying beers, buying food, etc.

I consider a $6 Hot Dog expensive...I consider a $3 drink, acceptable. $9 for the two is expensive...just my cheap azz 2 cents...

I don’t think going cheap is the way to go either people want to come or they don’t ! We just have to find a way to for people to show up. We ain’t LSU but they charging 100 dollars a ticket and packing the stadium.

It has to be reasonable though !

Now I say 1 dollar beer night ? That might work lmfao

If someone is going to the game that 8 bucks don’t make a difference. If they are not “interested in the match up” a 5 dollar ticket won’t make a difference.

LaFonda's Margs...Last time I was there had 2 and was lit. Awesome.

I believe that!! Have a place near us that does that to me. Had to ask the wife to not let me have a 2nd, and sure as heck not more unless we’re walking around Gruene for the next hour! LOL

P.S. Lots of good ideas in this thread!!
