A change in attitude and direction

[fanof71]

Blue Collar...That's what Acadian is and has always been, blue collar. Think about it, even if you have a white collar lifestyle, chances are you or someone in your family started out with a blue collar career...farming, oilfield, machine work, off shore work, factory work etc. Maybe you have your own company, chances are your start was a blue collar start....hard work, tough decisions, financial setbacks..tough times.

The cULture ( all UL sports) are at its core, are blue collar...no one gets a pass, work, keep working, work harder...all coaches speak that language...at P5 schools, it's next 5 star player up, here it's who works the hardest...

So, if Maggard and his minions along with RCAF, would take on a new attitude...Blue Collar Cajuns. Lafayette has median HH income under
$60k...The top half of the medium income has been soaked or have no interest in supporting UL.,.but the bottom half does. UL has managed to alienated thousands of the under 60k crowd...change the direction and focus to blue collar folks,appeal to the "you work hard you should play hard, see you at CF".....it's untapped, forgotten, and ignored part of the areas population, The cULture is all hard work and hard play...Blue Collar Cajuns

Big donors build the seats.
Small donors fill the seats.

We aren’t filling the seats.

Wow thats succinct.

Tells you where action is needed.

Actually both are needed. Until that stadium work actually starts, the false start 2 years ago lingers in the air.

Exactly, but it doesn't place an order of events.

A new stadium will not help until other issues are fixed. It will be 35% full if that.

The home opener in the new stadium will damn near be a sell out. It’s up the administration to figure out how to get everyone to come back. It just sounds like they don’t want to figure it out.

Is this why the Lafayette Roughnecks only lasted one season?

[Grantvb]

Agreed, 71’

They couldn't sell out if the admission was free. Don't kid yourself.

Change in latitudes, change in attitudes.

But if we had a small donors to fill but no big to build we would have even more complaints here

Why not run for office in RCAF, get them to run it the way others do where the shareholders can vote
