Cajun Field Gameday Parking

[RaginReview]

Some Fan Feedback:

This is what Lot E looked like every home game this season: a lot of open grass with a few cars parked in the front. Is there a way we can turn this into General Admission parking in the future so our parking lot doesn’t look empty on Gameday?

Feel free to discuss.

Are you crazy!? People would have to walk over uneven terrain, vehicles would get stuck, no lane lines means more accidents...

THINK ABOUT THE LIABILITY!

LOL. Nice.
Be sure to remember this when Mardi Gras floats are rolling through the parking lot and thrill rides are moving like crazy come February.

Have Martin Hall's plans changed from this:



because that should tell you all you need to know about their plans for tailgating

The empty parking lot E is lost revenue and looks terrible to the casual fan or passerby thinking no one is at the game (lately they wouldn’t be far off)

At the game Saturday as I’m walking to the gate, I hear the parking attendants telling 3-4 cars that have pulled into Cajunfield that they have to go park at Cajundome or across West Congress and can’t park there. Take their damn $15-20 and let them park in empty E and be done with that

I'm about to buy a pink shirt, a walkie talkie, and make some money at Gate 2.

It wins on perception alone. Who wants to peak curiosity at an empty parking lot on Gameday?

If I ran a business, I would want as many people as possible parking across the street from my business. If people see a bunch of cars out front of my business, curiosity peaks. “What’s going on in there? I wonder if something big is happening today?” All those extra eyes on my business and the potential of extra people actually coming in? No thank you. And as mentioned above, think of the liability. What if someone trips and falls? What if each customer can’t have an entire aisle to themselves?

We are trailblazers. With the reduction in capacity next year, I say we only allow RCAF members giving $10,000 and up to have the opportunity to buy passes inside of CF. $500 each. It will become a status symbol in Acadiana to hold a CF lot pass. Premium experience.

We are in no way trailblazers in athletics.

We are trailblazers in minimizing interest in our events. Minimal interest = minimal liability. Minimal interest from outside parties = maximum control for Martin Hall. These are big brain moves. R1 moves. Harvard of the South moves. The commoners can’t be expected to understand.
