App State attendance

[BBcajun]

The RV crowd was decent and the weather was perfect. We had a good tailgate day. I thought the crowd was a bit light but the fans that showed up had good energy. Not sure if there was an issue at the gate but my son & his group walked right in and no one scanned their tickets so not sure if the attendance figures are totally accurate.

With all that said, the "music" playing from the stadium speakers during the hours before the game is quite loud for the RV tailgaters. Wouldn't be so bad but the music is not our type of music. Turn that stuff down.

Geaux Cajuns!!

A friend of mine posted this on Facebook. What a clown show we have.

'Dear Cajun Field management, please train your staff at the entrances that when a ULL student (my son)has a diabetic medical bag, and he has apple juice and glucose nose spray for sugar lows, DO NOT try to confiscate it. He’s not a terrorist. He’s just trying to save his own life.. I don’t know where to go with this, but whoever can help me, let me know. It ruined his fun time yesterday and made him feel discriminated against! Tessie and I are furious… Life as a diabetic is hard enough without bull____ like this happening. I digress…please make us aware of how we make sure this doesn’t happen to ANYONE again!'

Contact Marcus Marks at the UL athletic department. Don't rely on the number posted for him because it's wrong. You'll have to be very insistent. They are bad at returning phone calls. Went through it last game.

I couldn't get to game until halftime due to personal obligations. There were for sure scanner issues at the NE gate at least when I got to game. There was a line of about 30 people trying to get into game at this time and none of the tickets printed or digital would scan correctly for anyone.

They ended up taking pictures of the tickets and let people in. No clue what they were planning to do with pictures taken of tickets

For what it’s worth…attendance didn’t look bad on tv. Looked better than 14K.

It was probably closer to 18K.

It was probably closer to 18K.

When I heard the count it seemed light to me also.

Ran into folks hadn't seen in years. It was a very good time. $2 dollar Nattys are simply spectacular. Had 8.

Thanks I sent it forward to them.

14k was being generous. We were barely half full Saturday.

You could tell it was going to be a light crowd at the Cajun walk.

What’s going on across the basin is only part of the problem. No relief from that with the exception of the Troy game so we’ll be competing. Homecoming is the Bama game, so that.

We know the issues. Little to no marketing. Even after a big ACC win and a rivalry win. No buzz created with any promotion.

Game day experience. Even with perfect weather, you obviously didn’t have return customers from the first 2 games.

Where are the students? It was great to see the student reserve tailgate sold out for game 1. Have not heard a peep about those spots since. Have not made it over there to check it out either. How’s that going?

Quit it with the marketing schtick. Even if that was better how many people would it pull? A marginal amount. We have a culture issue here. It runs deep starting with administration. That's what was great about Hud. He came in, saw the culture issues and set out to change the culture which he did for a good time period. That's what we need. So many people in this city send their kids and ultimately their money to LSU. I can see it on Sunday on FB. So many people at UL with me years ago posting all their pics at the LSU game decked out and having fun. Honestly, at this point, I'm not sure it will really ever change. Hell, even a number of our students go across the basin to go to football games on Saturday night.
