Week 12 - SBC Attendance

[HoustonCajun]

Pretty sad for UL. Conference leader and (near) worse attendance.
Saturday is our last home game, Senior's Day, and playing for Western Division lead and conference championship host. We need a full stadium!

Saturday Nov 16

Coastal @ Marshall - 24,175
JMU @ ODU - 21,984

Yet, basically no promotion from the university that I have heard or seen. The average/casual fan more than likely has no clue about this game.

Or the season at large.

if you have no clue about this game, you are not a fan or an average fan or a casual fan, you are just not a fan . . .

That is correct.

They did a good job with the in stadium experience last week. But the promotion outside of social media and on campus + around Lafayette is not there. Has not been there for years.

Some say "worry about that in the offseason." Problem with that is that nothing is done in the offseason. Worry about season tickets and improvements to overall game day experiences in the offseason.

Easy changes to game-to-game operation and marketing what your team is doing NOW is a must IN SEASON! Do it as soon as you have an opportunity. Put it in people's faces. But they don't do that. At least the marketing piece.

We may have a modest bump in overall attendance vs last year and the year before, but being in the bottom 1/4th of the league is embarrassing. Especially with a team that will win no less than 8 games. We used to be tops in the league not much more than a decade ago winning 8 regular season games.

if you have no clue about this game, you are not a fan or an average fan or a casual fan, you are just not a fan . . .

That is totally the point.

It is imperative to expose every available non-fan to whats going on or the fan base, will continue to dwindle.

BINGO!

People who dont know about this game have absolutely 0% interest in going.

[Turbine]

BINGO!

With current promotions and social media, algorithms "if you have no clue about this game, you are not a fan or an average fan or a casual fan, you are just not a fan . . ." and there is little chance of you ever becoming one

Whats your point?

This is true

well, refer to them properly . . . non-fan . . . what is your evidence that the fan base has even dwindled . . .

[Turbine]

Whats your point?

More needs to be done outside of social media.

Social media is preaching to the choir. Algorithms lock you in to existing fans, they don't expand your audience.

There is a HUGE unaware population out there. Generations of potentional fans.

Go get em.
