Cajun Field Gameday Parking

[ULvictory]

I'm one of the few that park in E.

About 3 days before the first game, I went to get my pass from the Soccer/Track complex. When I was there, I asked if I could buy another E lot pass. The person in the box office said yes. Now I'm assuming that these are numbered starting from 1 to however many they print or sell. The initial one I was given was in the teens. The new one I just bought was 045. This makes sense if you count the cars.

They could easily just combine D and E and figure out how to charge for the empty wilderness that is E. It's really ridiculous. If you had 100 cars park there each game @ $10 a car, that's 6 grand a season compared to the $3,000 that they probably make if they sold 50 passes. If most people are happy to move from E to D, you don't lose the pass fee, RCAF donation and then you add a per game revenue that you didn't have before.

However, you know someone has suggested it and then someone replies that collecting money and having traffic back up onto Congress or Bertrand would be a nightmare. I disagree. I remember paying for Cajundome parking in the past for events and there was no issue. Just have your money ready, hand it off and go.

I park in Lot E as well. For the first game when the burn ban was in effect, I was sent to Lot C. That told me all I need to know on available space we have inside of the parking lot.

You are right.

It can't take longer to grab a $10 and say thank you, than it does to explain "you can't park in this empty parking lot."

... More on this later...

You cant minimize interest if there is no interest. Lafayette is not interested as a whole in Cajun athletics. I have been around here since late 70s. Met a guy at work today wearing a LSU sweatshirt he graduated from USL. I just bit my tongue and kept my mouth shut.

It’s amazing that self sabotage and not building relationships with our students hasn’t been a recipe for success. It’s almost like that’s kinda the point…

Right. We should be doing the complete opposite. Instead, we are trying to create exclusivity to an area where there is no demand.

Speaking of game day:

Is it time to retire the smoke & firework boxes on the field pre-game?…

It's time to retire the entire pregame fiasco. Nothing Ragin or Cajun about it....

Why can't we announce the 22 (24 if you count kickers) starters and have each one run out thru a tunnel of his teammates, cheerleaders, etc?

Have the last guy ..*cough* Zeon *cough*.. run out to the 50, raise his hand and then copy the Who Dat chant they do before kickoff. Alternate endzones - have north say "ragin" and South say "cajun", and alternate the fireworks between each side when they say it

I know, I know -- "the team is more important than the individual!" ... but there are some individuals I'd really like to see not portal out somewhere where they are appreciated

[R1Letterman]

Probably can't because some already had to go out ahead for the coin toss and probably espn + commercial schedule doesn't allow it
