G5 Attendance

[old alum]

Some of those teams on top of list aren't that good.
What is more important, messaging, ticket sales or winning?

What's more important is GAME DAY EXPERIENCE. Can you really say you are having enough fun to justify spending $200 (Tickets, food & drink) for a family of four to go to a football game where the kids have fun sliding down the endzone hill a few time and...... well, nothing else. The same has been true for 14 years at the men's basketball games.

Tell me you would not rather skip 3 football games and take your family with the money saved to see Garth Brooks, Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Luke Combs, or whatever the big rock acts are today? If we had a team that was fun to watch, and they would do some kind of gameday activities for kids, and they would charge a FAIR PRICE FOR FOOD AND DRINK then the stands would have more people.

Look how many students don't bother to go to the games and it's their school's teams. If they don't care about supporting their teams, then why should we?

It's all about being able to pay a high school football coach $750K to lose more games than he wins, or to pay Bob Marlin $672,476 to be less than mediocre and have a team that plays undisciplined street ball.

HOW MANY USL/UL FOOTBALL COACHES SINCE 1970 HAVE HAD A CAREER WINNING RECORD? Let's give $750K a year to the only true national level coach we have at UL and see what people say. They would say we are crazy for paying a softball coach $750K. He's the only coach at UL that is winning games, getting to know his team's fans and supporters, and really cares about working toward a top 8 team and playing for a national title. (TONY CARED.... I SURE DO MISS HIM!)

3-9 USM draws better than UL I hate to say but wait until next year if we continue to have this coaching staff with no major changes. I know I'm reducing my tickets and donation to minimum to keep my tailgating spot.

This coming season will be fun at The Swamp

We would be there too if we counted butts in the seats.

Everyone in America counts tickets sold that’s not unique to UL.

Is it tickets sold or tickets distributed?
Tickets scanned at the gate should be reported. It used to be call “Turnstile Count”

But you could make the numbers say anything. The eyeballs don’t lie though.

In years past it was tickets sold, didn't have to be distributed or scanned.

A corporation could buy 100 ticks but only distribute a few and it was still counted.

I'd still like to know how much revenue was lost this year due to poor attendance. No way UL is operating and making any sort of profit. But hey, we've got alot of folks in Athletics that have fancy titles pulling down some nice $, I'm sure.

From what I heard UL athletics is so broke they can't afford to do discount ticket promotions. Putting all the eggs in the new stadium will save the day.

Well it’s not that hard to fix !!
