In Need of An Explanation

. . . also, until the combination of high schools in the 80’s, none of these high schools had football . . . Fatima, Holy Rosary, Arnauldville, Loureville, Sunset, Maurice, Meaux, Indian Bayou, E. Broussard, Pecan Island, . . .

Loureavillle had football in the 70s my uncle was the coach. Went to many games and practices.

I was of the opinion we needed to make as much as we could from the tailgating and parking. But I was wrong. We should look at tailgating like Costco looks at their cheap hotdog meal. Use it to create the desire to be there and then work on getting people into the game itself. Tailgating prices should be drastically reduced and advertised heavily as such.

Been saying this since 2016. But they bet big on tailgating price hikes over raising ticket prices around the time the alden report came out. Obviously a huge swing and miss.

The best value option for buying tickets to the games (in any sport) is thru season tickets. You are basically bundling a season's worth of tickets to get a better price. The problem is, the age group they need to be targeting, just can't use season tickets anymore. Families with kids have dance, soccer, festivals, etc that keep them from going to every game.. So what do they do? They give those tickets away when they can't attend. So their seat is filled, but we haven't added anyone new to the stadium.

Why not take this 'bundling' concept to a single game approach?

Charge $200 for a tailgate spot and 8 tickets. It encourages people to invite people to their tailgate to spread the cost around and make it cheaper for everyone. Maybe you end up with 12 people at your TG, and they either buy or get their hands on some extra tickets.. That's 4 more people in the stadium. 12 popcorns, 12 sodas, 12 beers.. 6 kids spending all day playing with their friends in the parking lot, before going inside to play on the hill. 6 parents standing around in great weather, sipping beers, listening to music, running into people they haven't seen in forever.. Sounds eerily familiar to Festival *INSERT ANY NAME HERE* that they have no problem getting people to go to

(Re)building our crowds starts with rebuilding tailgating. It needs to be a must go to party. Bring band(S), food trucks, a beer garden, cheap or free spots, cheap or free parking. Advertise it like crazy. Get off the damn frat’s back. Build the party. “Festival Cajuns” every game day. Then have people walking around selling cheap GA tickets.

This is a great idea

Here is the plan!

I have put an area at Cajun Field we can do this at. RV parking will still be along Cajun Field just smaller.

This is my idea for a tailgate area where people can go and have fun before the game .

Back then I only pulled against them one time a year even with my uncle coaching and older cousin playing I still pulled for the Big Red.
