Ways to make the 2011 Spring Game massive

[BrockMeaux]

Book Wayne Toups for a halftime performance and have a $5 crawfish boil before the game. Presenting a ticket to the game (available at the ticket offices, either free or $1, depending on what you decide) and $5 gets you a bracelet good for all YOU can eat, and you can have several locations set up outside the stadium to handle the problem of overcrowding at one place. Get as many famous former Cajuns - especially football, but any sport, really - to do an autograph session on the field for 45 minutes after the game. If you can get a couple former UL quarterbacks there (say, Babb and Desormeaux), they could quarterback a free 12-and-under two hand touch football game after the autograph session.

_ I thought Scott Farmer said on BEV that it would be April 9 ~6pm. I hope I did not dream that. _

I meant to put both the 9th and the 16th. I've heard both. The 9th we are out of town for both sports

_ here is an idea from us, not a knock on any other team just an idea. we ran this ad campaign leading up to Mullens first spring game and done it again last year. They sold the "True Maroon" t shirts leading up to the game. You could sell em for $10 bucks a piece, and if you have one on you get in the game free. Proceeds go to RCAF. Run a commercial similar to this one.

The spring game is a practice, don't make me go all Allen Iverson on you guys!

I think the t-shirt idea is great! It promotes spirit and enthusiasm!

I would sell them for $10 before that date, then an advanced price the day of the event. This will give the admin an early count on attendance so they can plan accordingly for staff. At the reunion basketball game several concession stands were half-manned because they were expecting another 1-2k crowd. They didn't know there was a special event planned. I know that was the Cajundome's lack of planning, but the idea is same. The more advance notice they have of a crowd, the better prepared they can be.

Anyway, I see some good ideas on here, I just like this one the best so far.

Split the fans into Red and White supporters.... Get McD's or someone to offer a free meal to the winner's fans

Holding a pre-game crawfish boil... students get in free.. $5 for all others gets you into the game... $1 for those that just want to go to the game..

Post game concert....

Promote promote promote..... It would be tremendous if it were a night game after a baseball game... don't know the schedule but that would make it a Cajun Spring Sports bash....

Lots of good ideas... keep em coming

Also work the frats and sororities... some sort of competition for them... We need a huge student turnout....

You wanna see the Spring game be massive, I know just how to do it. The key is to get the fan base energized to action, and the way to do that is leak word that if we don't have 15,000 people at the game that Coach Hud will be contractually obligated to do multiple Mcdonalds and Hampton Toyota commercials. After that word gets out, watch the fans flock to the game.

Lets try to get the students there! Imagine how awesome a game would be with the student section full....

I don't know,... cleaning the stadium is hard enough for the losing team, and besides if they follow your suggestion they have to ready to paint right away.

I think your suggestion while noble, is just too much to ask.

How about pre game Alumni Flag football game. I like the draft. Have fans wear Vermillion or White for the team they are rooting for split the band & cheerleaders up one on the home side the other on the visitor side.

I really like that idea, that sounds cool as heck.

Dang, I think you're on to something. Football and Crawfish season have never come together before. It could be the World's Largest Crawfish Boil!! Submit it to the Gueniss Book Of World records! Have it before the game and invite that guy from "Man Verses Food"!! $5 a tray, UL could make a little money and people would want to be a part of this! Hell, invite Governor Edwards!!

This is a patently horrible idea. Next thing you know, LSU will be boiling imitation crawfish at their imitation Cajun tailgating, before waiving their imitation "Geaux Tigers" signs and partaking in every other tradition they stole from us!
