LGT Sunbelt Championship Final: Louisiana 3, Marshall 31

This is Marshall’s first trip to Cajun field that I know of, and the football team has a movie. This should be an easy sellout.

“We are Marshall” is a great movie btw.

Agreed.

For anyone that has followed Football history on and off the field this matchup can be a huge needle mover.

All local media should be doing a "We are Marshall" educational segment.

The better you know your opponents (tragedy and success) the more interesting the game becomes.

I dont think that moves the needle at all. Can't imagine any casual fan deciding to go to this game because of a story that happened so long ago. It certainly didn't move it when we played them at home the first time.

I thought everything was simple for this game, $20 tickets, $20 general admission parking pass.

West side tix are $40 to $50

$20 is for grass endzone

My post was sarcastic. But the movie is good. Marshall football is or at least was a house hold name at one time. Moss, Pennington, leftwich to name a few when they were rolling.

Couldn't move the needle, no one mentioned it the first time (travesty)

Have we ever played them at home?

Pretty good anecdotal description of our current crowd..

The 10-12k people that already have tickets for this game know exactly who Marshall is (and was), and are excited about a storied program coming to CF.

The people you need to fill the stadium have barely heard of Marshall, and think they are just another Sunbelt team they've never heard of.

Could we get Matthew McConaughey to do the coin toss?

Team played one game a year dedicated to those who perished in that crash...The 75 Game

This is going to be THE BEST walk up ticket gate of the year.

By a large margin.
