My wife and I weren’t able to make the game on Saturday because we had high school homecoming obligations. There were 3 or 4 local homecomings on Saturday…I bet a few thousand parents were busy doing HoCo crap. Like I was.

My wife went to the tailgate and game for only about 30 minutes because of my daughters home coming pictures. She was amazed at the number of people watching the game in the parking lot at there tailgate spot when she left. Luckily I graduated high school many years ago and had no HoCo obligations.

I have thoughts about the game day experience. The music has gotten so terrible we could just get rid of the DJ for all I care. During tv timeouts why not use the video board in a better manner. You can have player and coaches interviews. You could do coaches and players from other sports as well. Maybe getting fans excited about the other sports. As someone mentioned. You could flash scores from around the country and sunbelt. Since we can’t get them on our phones. Just because we never play tech, people would still enjoy announcing when they lose on the PA. Dr maggard interview bits would also Interest some fans. Remember not everyone there gets info on this board or listens to sports radio. We could be feeding people a lot of good information on the video board and filling 3 minutes of dead time with terrible music playing. Coordinate these videos during commercials with the band. Let them play songs and maybe have sing alongs with the lyrics on the video board. Also, why not a kiss cam, flex your muscle, or other funny things women and children like at games. I don’t know the last time I saw a crowd shot on the video board.
We need more action during dead air moments especially leading up to kickoff in each half
- Viking chant: https://youtu.be/9Oo9pkFo6hI?si=OPqcR4_di1S9zsos
- We Love Ya (change "U.S." to "Cajuns"): https://youtu.be/W0EXwE6cDAk?si=iuk14v98JgYAizl6
- before kickoff, have some 'celebrity' come out to midfield and do the Who Dat pregame chant that Saints do before kickoff. Alternating Chants of "Ragin" and "Cajun" between North and South endzone shoot the fireworks off for each side when it's their turn
- switch the AC/DC that's been played to death with some other stuff ex. For Whom the Bell Tolls instead of Hells Bells
More songs with instrumental slow buildups:
Lunatic Fringe
Tool - Schism
Parallel universe - RHCP
Show a video of a drum line member in a Cajuns football uniform playing the drum part of "In The Air Tonight" on the big screen
Bring back the freakin Wolf of Wall Street chest bump chant
One thing I've never seen anyone do Start a New Orleans style second line parade at the beginning of the RV lot and make its way all the way to the bandstand in front of Tigue, rounding up people who are loafing around streaming the game on TV 15 minutes before kickoff. Bonus points if you can get a few members of the marching band to lead it
My kids refer to the baseball games as "the ones where we sing that song" (put me in coach). They remember 3 minutes of the entire game and it's the part with crowd engagement
Also, can the DMV offer a traffic violation removal with an attendance to a UL football game?
