Increasing Attendance at Our Sporting Events

[HoustonCajun]

Hud got it.....he relentlessly oozed and projected confidence. People gravitate to this.....Can't be a leader without followers. As HC He is not just leader of a dozen coaches and 105 players....if he doesnt embrace his role as leader of the entire Cajun Nation, he will be the next Bob Marlin. Des' press conference persona is not just bad, at an executive level (which he now is) it is quite poor. He needs to fix this immediately.

Hud did get it and he was able to excite the fan base. Des' personna is no different than Napier or even Saban. Low key and nothing said to get people excited about. The difference is, that is not needed at Florida or Alabama. It is greatly needed at Louisiana and it has not been deliverable since Hud left. Winning alone won't do it as Napier was successful in winning but not in enticing fans to attend. Too bad we couldn't entice Hud to return and head up RCAF. Maybe with the right money tied to fund raising. He could easily turn this around.

Best way to lower season ticket prices?

Trade in the 6th home game for a P4 game.

Everyone has to sit together next year.. luxury suite people, 50 yard line people, the band, students, the press, the concessions, and the broke people....

It's a great opportunity to go all in on fan engagement, and promote the hell out of just how goofy next season will be.

I fully expect the admin to run something like this, and somehow charge even more

I know we have talked about this many times on what, when, and how to do increase attendance numbers besides winning at attracting good opponents; but I wanted to really learn the ways to get this done with the Cajun culture. We are obviously different than our conference peers with "the way we do things." As everyone knows, the way we make money around here is inside the gates of festivals, parades, and parks to where admission is almost "free." At the same time, Cajun Athletics charges gate prices to make their money up front from tailgating to tickets to where there may be a number of locals who feel "priced out."

So, here is my question for Cajun fans. In your opinion, is there a way to change the formula in order to draw more to our games?

Eliminate all the nice, soft crap. Less family friendly.

Turn up the Rock/Rap/Country.

LFG.

I don't think Rap is still a thing. The modern version of Hip Hop destroyed Rap. I would be down for some old school DMC, LL, Beastie Boys.

That garbage they blare these days? They can flush that with the rest of the crap.

Funny story.

1990. Me and my friend, C4Me, are walking across campus, and we hear Too Short being played loudly by this little bitty truck coming down the street. It stops at the stop sign just as we are crossing the street. All we see in the windshield are a a pair of knees.

Somehow, Kevin Brooks had squeezed himself into the smallest Toyota truck I ever saw.
