He said Maggard paused a bit, then said… “I think we’re not charging enough.”

    Could anything make the point better than this?
    Did you pause to think for a minute what kind of negative impact a post like this might have on the program?

    Does it help UL to know that our AD thinks that running off the remaining few tailgaters is a good way to improve the program?

    At this point, that's on him.

    This may be the most important thing that RCAF and Athletic Department personnel need to recognize. I am 76 and still working; but many of our fans are 60+, and the majority of those are retired. It is a guarantee that as people over 60 age, their available income for entertainment will drop, as will their physical ability to attend events.

    As I have been saying for at least the last 20 years, UL MUST do everything it can to attract younger, lower [relatively speaking] income fans, many of whom will be increasing their ability to donate over time. I would much rather that we had 10,000 $100 donors under 40 than ten $100,000 donors of any age.

    Amen, well said.

    Over and under on how long it takes before a thread or a Faceplant post starts about RV prices being raised, based solely on the misinterpretation of a second-hand (third-hand?) story shared on a message board post.

    A says something speculative (at best) to B. B tells C what A said. C then posts the hypothetical to message board.

    D shares the hypothetical as fact.

The problem is that NOTHING will change until he does.

    The worst thing about my line of work and his is to not know what you don’t know.
    This idea of a fan group for the athletic administration to lean on for honest feedback was floated to our administration. Response from what I’m told was, “yall just can’t be too negative.” I don’t know what to do for people who want to be told it’s sunshine outside when it’s actually pitch black and raining.

    The way to nip it in the bud is to post current fees, early and often and it will eliminate future conjecture.

    Better to keep it a secret.

    Admittedly, I'm not the most sophisticated guy when it comes to the googles, but if I can find it, seems to be pretty easy.

    The earlier Maggard quote was RV so I think that is football.

    Yeah, I got that.

    Just curious, and I'm asking because I simply don't know.

    Is there a charge for tailgating at baseball?

    Poster didn't say they are raising prices. He said, Maggard said, "they aren't high enough". Nowhere in that arc did it say he said they're raising prices.

    You're looking at the wrong post. Look at the post I quoted (its at the top of this page).

    In post #120, ULvictory says "So they are raising prices with no demand. Hmmmm."

    ULvictory is "D".
