Basketball Season Tickets

[CajunNation]

... I know scheduling is difficult and Dome availability in December was a factor this season due to boxing tournament...

I've had it with the Cajundome. Once the stadium is done, we need to focus like a laser on REBUILDING Blackham.

I wonder if Dome will become even more difficult to work with once we drop the TicketMaster account. No idea if this is accurate but I have been told some of those TicketMaster fees go to the Dome.

7.14% or 1 out of 14 is everyone’s chances of making the dance. Little things can gain a few points.

Then again, it all comes down to who is hot at tournament time, like App a few years back. Horrible regular season, got hot in March.

At the beginning of last season, the odds of us going to the tournament 2 consecutive years was approximately one half of one percent. At this stage, you throw out what happened last year in a statistics perspective. Therefore we are back at 7 percent. That alone makes it understandable why some are skeptical we can win the tournament again. Still it illustrates why pre conference is to prepare for conference, conference season is to attempt to get a top four seed, and tournament time is when people want to be playing at their peak.

At this point, I hope they do become more difficult to work with. Anything that forces this issue is good. Between the scheduling problems and the concession contract problems, it is time for UL to move on.

I know Martin Hall has kicked the tires on this more than once. It is time to start strategizing this for real.

When I was researching Ticketmaster fees months ago when I posted a screenshot of Ticketmaster fees, I ultimately found out that fees vary from venue to venue and that Ticketmaster works with the venue to implement fees.

No doubt the Cajundome is using the Ticketmaster fees as life support.

I will add conference tournament play is even more important this year as the regular season conference champion no longer acquires an automatic bid to the NIT. Does not mean you can't be invited but it will be more difficult to garner that type bid.

Let’s take the old chair backs from Cajun field and put the in blackham. Then start playing there again.

Can't happen. Would never get Fire Marshal approval besides the tons of other issues with Blackham.

The only reason Blackham is still standing is the rodeo. No cost for the foundation.

The best thing for Blackham would be for the demo crew to just come down Cajundome Boulevard when they finish at CF.

How bad? For starters at one time you only needed the naked eye to see the ground on the east side was higher than the thresholds of the building.

Unfortunately, this is correct. But, renovating Blackham would give the fanbase a shot in the arm. Right after regime change.

Forget renovation. The level of the floor of the building is the biggest issue. Many a time we left wading thru water in the concourse. Building was built before elevation requirements existed. Yes, it appears to be on a crest, but it’s not. The property drains to the corner, but the building is in the path.

I witnessed some of the issues in 2016. Rough.
BUT, the grandoise desire is to bring back the environment. Yea, its a dump. But it was our dump, and we reveled in it. There is no way to replicate that atmosphere in the CajunDome.
