2023 Move in weekend

[HelmutVII]

It is move in weekend yesterday and today. I suspect a very large freshman class. The University took over an extended stay hotel by the airport to house all of them. They had St. Mary Street blocked off yesterday and also today. Lots of traffic on University Ave. and surrounding streets. Dominoes is doing great business. The dumpsters are overflowing. I wonder what the final count will be.

I think the number I’ve been told is roughly 16-17k

How long will the extended stay hotel be utilized?

I think the university bought it. Not sure about that though.

Speaking if hotels. We need more hotels within walking distance to Cajun Field and the Cajun dome. The Hilton Garden Inn is nice to have but they are always price gouging for events.

Its not gouging. Its supply/demand.

How about getting them all to Cajun Field for a football orientation and let them know what is available to them on game days? Let's get the spirit started. Get Des and the players out there. Fire them up!

1st home game is usually the most attended by students then it dies off. We have to find a way to keep them engaged.
