Thoughts on Fan Engagement, Tailgating, Mascot, Marching Band, Pre-Game Intro etc.?

I honestly think you might be drunk at 11AM. That's the only way I can explain how bad your take is.

stooping really low for a proclaimed rocket scientists

i understand, when you have no response, get personal

its has always been you being you

[Turbine]

this analysis totally ignores availability at both venues

it is the type of statistics one who has a totally losing argument puts out

but lets continue along the path which gives you that analysis, its working really well for Louisiana

You didn't ask for availability you asked "where fans are" ?

They aren't selling out 100% (on average) more could go if there was a demand.

Do you really think people who don't go to LSU games are big donors?

I have no clue about anything LSU and really wonder why you try to bring them into an analysis of where the Louisiana fans may be or where the money to compete at the levels demanded on this board may be

another red herring I guess

The weirdest part of all this is that I'm not a rocket scientist, but you seem to be fixated on that in multiple threads.

TAF operates separatly whereas RCAF has one hand tied behind its back.

Its not where the fans are, its how the fans are engaged and the perception that goes with it.

ps perception can be right or wrong.

others you pal with on RP have referred to you as a rocket scientist and at no time have you denied it

so ok, you are not even a rocket scientist, but you obviously have your panties rolled up in a tight knot . . .

then where are they when it’s time to show up

they not at fund raisers

they not at Cajun Field

they not in the Cajun dome

their butts are not even in the stadium for baseball or softball except for a select few games a year where even then less than 60% of the tickets show up

where are they Mr. Rocket scientist

They're there. But the fans are the customers. If they are not showing up, the administration isn't selling something to them worthy of showing up to which means they have to continue to brainstorm until they do get people to attend.

Just a decade ago, the venues were a lot more full than they are today including the fund raisers (preseason RCAF Cypress Bayou Casino event was always packed but they stopped doing it). I can't tell you how many fans I talk to in the street that say the administration does a poor job engaging with them. And these are people who give to RCAF and go to games.

Improve on communication, create events surrounding the games and make sure the quality matches what's being paid for, and the most important part.....don't stop promoting because people don't show up once. We have a habit of doing that with fund raisers. They do one event, and it's poorly attended so they stop. Keep on doing them (watch parties, presentations, a bowling night, etc.).

all I am trying to figure out is where they are and where is all the money

let me know when you figure that out and can show it to me

nothing else really matters in the whole scheme of things

I'm just waiting to see the fans and the money

I have been watching and hearing what you have been preaching for several years now

i still havnt seen either the fans or the money

i appreciate your vigor and tenacity and the vigor and tenacity of those similarly situated to you

will wait however and see the results

Valid

[Duckster]

Fans naturally react to what stimulates them/us. Winning, losing, head coach engagement or lack thereof, team culture, traditions, promotions, game times, game day of the week played, and so forth. Drawing any conclusions you want from there explains most things. Are there any successful businesses in America out there blaming its customers for its business shortcomings? Don't blame the Cajuns fans for waning support in football and basketball or RCAF support. It doesn't have to be this way and hopefully will not be for much longer.

You've seen the fans. 40K in NOLA and we did zero outreach there.

You've seen the money. Napier's contract, and now we're promoting from within.


Yes, we've lost people to Baton Rouge and to the state of Texas, but Lafayette is far, far from poor my friend.
