Maybe we should open up some public tail gating areas that are first come. I remember when the tailgate area was full with even a few cooking off the truck tailgate. If you get half in the stadium that's a few more fans .
Minimum charge?

Best shot we have is to make the best impressions we can when stadium renovations are complete. Both before 2025 season and during the 2025 games. If we can't capitalize and convince Acadiana/Lafayette it's an event worth attending, won't look good long-term.

We need the casuals that choose TSAB over us, whether they are alumni or not. We'll get some of them when renovations are complete, but an impression needs to be made to get them to come back. I think that means making tailgating way more affordable until we have wait lists again.

100% agree with your tailgating suggestion. Would love to see more people my age get in to UL tailgating, but at a minimum of $1,000 to try it for a season, I don’t see many new groups doing so.

While I agree we need to make strong impressions post renovations, I haven’t seen anything yet indicating how we plan to do so for the common fan (not the premium experience seeker). We’ve all seen pictures of the new club level suites and loge boxes. I have yet to see a single projected image of the revamped main concourse. Seats on the home side (lower bowl) have been greatly decreased, so it seems like a lot of people are gonna be sitting on the visitor side or end zone. How does Cajun Field experience change for those folks? If it turns out to be same old same old in terms of gameday operations, the honeymoon phase for OLOL Stadium will be a short one. I don’t see too many people sticking around past the first season just to look across and watch other enjoying “premium” if their own experience is not improved.

Yesterday's attendance in Conway. 17,812 for Homecoming.

You’ve got a few weeks until the next home game. It’s against a historical football rival in stAte. The team is 6-1. So, regardless of what happens @ TXST, the admin should be promoting the heck out of this team within the community. Build some buzz. Make it an event. Make Cajun field the place to be in the month of November.

One thing to look out for is the tv flex. You know how that goes sometimes. Especially when a team is winning.

If you owned a minor league baseball team, how would you boost attendance?

[cajun4life]

This administration has proven it’s not willing to take suggestions from us blue collar fans.

So quit worrying about what will increase attendance and just enjoy the games. Quit complaining, pay up and show up.

Will Maggard say no to an 11a kick?

Not without legislative help. We really need LSU on this one.
