Men's basketball 11/27 vs Loyola New Orleans

[CajunRage]

Yeah, ok…..when that happens late in the game I agree.

But lately, esp last season, we had numerous times where usurpers were in our seats, or seats near us, before t/o. And they weren’t very nice about it when they were told them they were in someone’s seats. Seats that cost a lot of money. We even have had others from our areas in our seats because they said that someone had taken their’s, lol. So instead of getting them to leave they sat in our seats. Just crazy.

We had the same issue in the UD this year. It’s always been bad, but was worse this year. And what gets us is the sense of entitlement these creatures have about it.

Ok, we are talking about two different scenarios then. People sitting in your seats and acting like _______s when you want them to move is one thing. Your statement made it sound like "I had to pay a lot for these tickets and so should you". Ushers are there to resolve issues like the ones you're stating. IMO, they shouldn't be chasing every single person down to make sure they are sitting in the exact seat they paid for when the dome is 15% full.

Bingo!

And having to pay a lot of money for seats in an empty stadium + terrible product is why I dropped my seats 3 years ago.

I was the biggest Marlin supporter thru the Shawn Long years and shortly after. But I’m done. Have only been to 2 games in last 2 years when I never missed home game for 8+ seasons.

[CajunJeaux]

So, I pay extra money for good seats, but you say it’s ok for people who paid far less to be able to sit in the same seats? That’s pure BS. Want the better seats, pay for them, like a lot of us do.

Yes, that’s what I say.

Think about what you said: you pay a premium to sit in an empty arena.

[Crawfish]

This could have happened, but I did not see it. I have season tickets in a pretty good area (although not on the floor) and I did not see anyone getting booted.

I think poor crowd had something to do with a second straight home game against a non D1 opponent. Next home game is against a decent Eastern Kentucky team on December 13th. They beat Troy last night by 1.

I agree non-D1s play a part. It’s the reason I skipped last night. However, attendance is just down this year in general. 3 games this year (2 non D-1s) vs 3 games last year (2 non D-1s): 5,492 vs 8,662 last year. Walk ups are not that much. My guess is season ticket sales were down by at least 500.

[ULvictory]

One other thing about attendance: are season tickets purchased counted with the attendance even if one doesn’t go?

If that’s the case and we had walk-ups last night, that means we have less than 1,500 season ticket holders.

Yup. Now get off my lawn!

Did the yellow shirts still block postgame NEZ passage?

[LaCajunsFan]

Yes, that’s what I say.

I know exactly what I said and what you are saying. To be clear, I will support this team unless there are very, very dire circumstances. And we are certainly not anywhere near that now.

If you chose to do other wise, that’s your decision. And although I don’t agree I understand why you are doing it.

A few of you…let’s be accurate.

What would you consider dire circumstances? I’m really curious.

Because I know what I consider dire circumstances and they are not the same as most.
