Where is our resident troll mr.cajun to tell us how much better tulane and moanroe attendance is? Hell, we had more buts in the seats for our first spring game under Hud than moanroe or tulane gets for some actual home games during the season.

And no tarps of any color were used.

_ Crowd here at the spring game! Easily 3-4 grand!

Right JUST WIN BABY in game 1 on the road at a BCS school. That is the standard he should be judged against.

But he needs to get some wins this year, so we don't look like the little boy who cried wolf.

True Dat!

I arrived late, when the score was 18-5 (i think) and i got in free along with many others. Although they could have been going back and forth fromthe parking lot.

Still when I got there cars besides mine were arriving and even more cars were leaving.

For that reason, I don't think the stands ever fully represented the number of fans that at least attended part of the game.

That's a nice pic. The momentum is building. Can't wait for the fall season.

Great picture. I saw quite a few heads poking over the fence in the upper deck. Did you happen to get a pic of them? Outstanding crowd! Wish I could have been there. Looks like football at UL is going to be fun this year. 25k per game easy.

Do you expect him to contribute this year? What's your opinion of him?

we still need to win to do that. We can talk the talk all we want but excitement quickly fades when you lose.

The crowd filled up slowly after the start of the scrimmage and then thinned out in the last period. But these shots from TDA website give a pretty good idea.

This coach will draw 25k minimum per first year. The people around Lafayette are a lot smarter than some on here give credit. They understand that this is going to take a couple of years & will give this coach time because they understand winners. Now next year, the expectations will be through the roof & so will the crowds. I'm talking capacity sell out every week.

Look at the first half of our baskeball season. new, exciting coach who starts off going 3-14. Fans knew he is a good coach and knew he would improve the program, but they still didnt go to the games untill we started winning. There will be much more excitement around the program, but if we lose, people still wont come. I'm not saying people will give up on coach if he doesnt win his first year, but our crowds wont be 25k/game. A decent team will bring about 20k. A 8-5 team will bring 25k+ per game.
