I only wish we could beautify the hill.

Tailgating (D-): The RV side of tailgating was disappointing. People were parking randomly, with about 50% of vehicles missing tags and another 30% parked in the wrong areas.

Atmosphere (A+): The crowd was fantastic, especially given the unfavorable weather. The positive energy was palpable.

Student Section (A+): The student section was vibrant and engaged, even though, according to my niece, many students who had originally planned to attend didn't show up.

Marketing (B-): While the social media marketing was solid, I was on campus all week and didn’t see a single piece of physical signage promoting the game. That’s an area that could definitely use some attention.

Concessions (D): The lines were extremely long, though I was able to skip them thanks to my RCAF pass. Still, the concession situation needs improvement.

Bathrooms (C+): The lines for the bathrooms weren’t terrible, but they could have been better. I was expecting additional bathrooms, but they didn’t seem to bring any in.

New Stadium Lights (A+): The new lights are amazing, and I was thrilled to see them in action. I’m not sure if they can change colors, but I hope they have the capability, especially for incorporating red.

Team Entrance (A+): The team entrance was as strong as always. We’ve always done a great job getting the players on the field, and this game was no exception.

Offense (B+): The offense looked good overall. I’m hoping they were keeping things simple and not giving too much away. The passing game was solid, and the running game was decent.

Defense (B): The defense was okay, but we didn’t put much pressure on the QB. I’m hoping this was due to conservative play-calling. Our coverage guys seemed smaller than usual, though that might be due to my new vantage point.

Overall: I’d give Game 1 a solid B. There’s a lot of potential, but also some areas that could use improvement as the season progresses.

I agree with all but would add one more subject.

Leaving the parking lot. D. It was not organized at all. Took us 45 minutes just to get out. They let the light on at Congress and Cajundome Blvd. Cops should have been directing traffic. It caused a cluster eff upon exiting.

I bet we could sell a better game day experience if we didnt have so many on RP scaring people away with negative posts

Too much volume for me!

The band they brought in was good, but the new location is directly across from our tailgate. Crazy loud which made talking to guests and friends impossible without shouting.

Same for the PA volume. Too loud!

100% pa was obnoxiously loud. Almost worse than Legends pregame. I couldn't stand that ____ more than 10 minutes.

We need to start taking the opening role when the HBCUs come to town. That felt like Led Zeppelin opening for Night Ranger.

How about those embarrassing uniforms? Talk about 2nd rate

[fanof71]

Beyond embarrassing for an R1 school with 3 times the enrollment of Gambling to look like that. Mediocrity has a home at UL.

I found the PA to be much quieter but again I am now further from the speakers
