I Guess The Students Won the Fight

[jaxmc1023]

I suspect that come next season, many will have forgotten and any effort to boycott will have lost steam. Many will be interested in the new shiny stadium and will want to experience that environment.

I also agree with many on here that speaks of the game day experience. It's fine on the west side of the stadium with all the corporate TG's and their families, but the student experience has to be alluring to students to get them to come as rabid fans vs casual.

Next season will be an abject disaster.. The only seats available will be on bleachers in the sun. You'll have to sit 20 yards from the band playing Seven Nation Army every 3 plays.

and from the sounds of it, the push from Martin Hall next year will be "better buy season tickets for 2024 if you want any chance of getting good seats in the new stadium for 2025"

Sounds more like "buy season tickets for 2024 to have priority in picking seats for 2025". You can still get season tickets for 2025 without buying 2024.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO SECURE TICKETS IN LOURDES STADIUM?
Those interested in securing seats when the Ragin’ Cajuns kickoff in Lourdes Stadium in 2025 are strongly encouraged to commit to 2024 season tickets and become an active RCAF member. Stay tuned for more information coming soon.

We have no interest in marketing or drumming up interest for next season. We will simply dangle the carrot of “you'll lose your good seats for 2025 if you don’t buy 2024” and call it a day.

Terry Johnson asked our administration to do their jobs and promote for next year, and Jay piped in to tell him capacity will only be 12-15K. As if we could even routinely fill a 15K seat stadium at this point. Gold.

I emailed RCAF about tickets the day they released the renderings. I received a canned email back and have heard nothing since.

You’re lucky. I’m still waiting on a response.

First, that song needs to be stricken form the playlist.

Second, I'm guessing that the PA system will be not functioning next year.

Third, if we will be sharing that side with the band, they need to make it a party. Bring out the oldies, mix in the new favorites.

Respect, Hey Baby, Zydeco Boogaloo, Cornbread, etc. Learn some new favorites like Cupid shuffle, Casanova, Living on a Prayer and 2 or 3 favorites of the students.

Martin Hall needs to trust me here. The vast majority of the people who will be purchasing season tickets want this. Use this as an opportunity to reinvent the Gameday experience as a fan friendly, band focused, football event.

"New favorite"- living on a prayer, huh

Written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and Desmond Child, the single, released in late 1986,

"Make it a party."

Good, maybe the administration will figure it out.

This University only wants nerdy students, those not nerds are a minority and they are the one’s supporting Sports.
This University has turned into a Liberal, woke, inclusive and diversified University.
When I was at USL , we had around 13 Frat and 10 sororities, give or take, the Greeks were the University’s pep squad and philanthropist

When I was in school, Fraternities had their own houses spread around the outskirts of campus, like just about all colleges do. I have some good memories from those days. For some unknown reason, they put the Sororities in Agnes Edwards Hall instead of houses where, I assume, they remain today. Then, they built a pretty ____ty fraternity row that sucks. Greeks have never been the same.
