Game 1 overall experience

[Duggie35]

I see 2 small issues:
1) Green Bay Packers are not desperate for fans, therefore there’s a target crowd for this.

I could easily be wrong bc I don’t feel like researching it, but I’m guessing there are more people wanting tickets than are available?

2) Green Bay (and all other NFL teams) are billion dollar corporations, they can afford to let this place sit empty the other 356 days of the year.

IF UL were to do this, how do you propose they offset the expenses to maintain such a large space? Perhaps keep it open year round, but then someone has to take on operations of such facility. Doubt Legends is interested in taking on such a venture.

To note: I think it would be awesome. But realistically, this is a major expense to running year round when restaurant / bar business may be the most difficult to sustain.

Come on dude! Don't you realize UL would have Sodexo available to handle it!!! LMAO!!!!

Do you think if we had something like this our attendance would go down not up if we did something like this?

Considering that we're fighting tooth & nail for any and all bodies to attend our games, I can only assume it would hurt our attendance.

Not trying to be a debbie downer after a great week 1 environment, but if you take away the Grambling attendees I think we're having a different feel heading into the next home game.

Always thought it would be cool if the northeast gate was a "walkthru" bar. An open-air bar on either side with stools, TVs, big ass fans, etc.

Removing the upper deck now makes the north endzone the cheapest ticket option available -- and unless I'm mistaken, it's really the only "general admission" seating.

It looks like there's definitely less lower deck seating on the new west tower, so the question becomes: will people be willing to move over to lower deck on east side, take south endzone tickets, or just give up?

Exactly! Cut the hill down just slightly, and let’s get this party started.

Mother nature already started the site grading efforts. The backside of the NEZ hill is eroding away, and it's pretty noticeable.

Down, because no one will want to pay a premium price to sit in such a club house.

Have students pay to hang out there while they wait for the school bus, lol, jk

It would cost nothing i don’t understand the comment?

It would be used before the game people will tailgate have drinks, kids play, and for a general admission ticket 1 hour before kickoff, cleared out and people who have a general admission ticket can hang out on the hill, or in the venue.

I am not understanding this premium seating idea to hang out in the NEZ?

Corporate sponsers and those people already will be seating on the 50 yardline in a box with all amenities paid for?

Think a person is going to stand in the grass at the NEZ paying a bar tab when they will they can afford club seats on the 50?

There is a mountain of people in Lafayette looking for a place to stand around and drink beer

They would not care one iota about the game going on, but they would otherwise be at home so why not give them a reason to come to Cajun Field?

As soon as opening kickoff, I would change all the TVs to show other state schools' biggest screw ups

[Jacob81]

Apparently there’s a really nice stadium design already done and construction has started. So why have this discussion? Let’s finish phase one before we talk phase 427
