2005 Ragin' Cajun Basketball Attendance

[Cajun Warren]

Does anyone know how the attendance figures compare to last years. I dream of days where we can average 10,000 a game in the cajundome. It will probably take a Sweet 16 appearance before that will happen. Either way many people are missing a hell of a good time.

Seeing as how we average somewheres around 4,000 and we're not even in one of the top 5 conferences and haven't won an NCAA tourney game in many years, I am very optimistic about achieving 10,000 a game in the not too distant future. Add to that the fact that we had over 5,000 on hand for the game against FIU (not to knock FIU, but outside of the sunbelt, who really knows or cares about FIU) and it seems even more realistic for us to reach that 10,000 mark. The two things that will help us get past that 5,000 plateau we're currently at is A.)get to the tourney AT LEAST every other year, B.)when we don't get to the NCAA, we must get to the NIT, C.)beat the good teams that we schedule during out pre-conference schedule, D.)get some homegames against these good teams, etc........ Just a thought.

God Bless.

Oh yeah, i forgot to mention, we gotta get past the 2nd round in the NIT and NCAA also. (I could go on and on, but these are the thing I can see right off that would really help.)

I also forgot to mention that IMO more and more people in Lafayette, even those who traditionally support LSU, are feeling the tide turn and slowly but surely starting to have interest in UL. (can't explain why, it's just somethin i seem to be noticing)

Everybody loves winner.

For those who say they want to see tough competition I say you schedule tough competition only when when you have a tough team.

No one will watch a loser, no matter who you are playing.The fans HAVE to believe you have at least a fighting chance.

The North Texas fans don"t. What is their attendance?

With the recruiting getting better for us in mens and womens basketball i can see attendence growing more and more every year.

A few more highlight dunks by dwayne Mitchal on the news will have more people going to the games this year though. Had to mention that!

Last Home Game Attendance? What was it? Seemed like 7 or 8k to me.

God Bless.
