Attendance ranking...

[cajunhawk]

Still, very impressive numbers from the Wolves. Freeze has had a similar effect as Hud to a certain extent in that aspect

But Sandra Bullock still owns Hugh Freeze.

Looking down the road, this is shaping up to be a record breaking year for attendance.


We have 3 home games left.

Next week will probably be our lowest attended game of the year due to LSU hosting Florida and rain mentioned in the forecast.

However, win or lose this Saturday, Homecoming week will sell-out. It also helps that LSU is on the road that week.

Last home game on Nov. 5th is against ULM. LSU is also on the road that week. If we are still in the SBC title hunt, I predict a sell-out crowd again.

Not that it matters anyway, but the weather forecasts I have seen changed the 20% chance of rain on Friday and Saturday to 0% ( or negligible).

I would expect a larger crowd than this past week because, LSU is still at home (same as last week - I know a FEW people went to both games); we are playing more of a rival in Troy than FAU; winning cures all and gets a few more in the stadium.

I hope to god your wrong, this could be the most important home game we've had in recent history. Last big game we had at the swamp was again against Troy in 2009, but this one could be bigger because we could position ourselves for a conference championship. Anything under 30k is disappointing for this game.

The November 5 game against ULM. LSU is on the road but they play Alabama. It is anticipated that the LSU/Alabama game will be moved to 7 pm for national TV but if it remains a day game, it would really put a damper on the ULM attendance.

We might as well not worry about stadium upgrades, because it seems that we are always looking to where LSU plays and what festivals they have etc. Until our fans go just because UL is at home playing we will never draw more that 30k on a regular basis.

LSU A&M BR is not a factor in our attendance in my eyes. Tigger stadium is sold out and is always sold out mostly with season ticket holders, so unless these extra people are only going to tailgate then the numbers sould not fluctuate. I think that instead of worrying about when the tiggers play or how many people stay out and tailgate the key to more numbers is to bring a friend to a game or talk up the game to people you know that have not attended in a while. We now apparantly have a product that appears to be a good one that is on the rise, a game day experience that is like no other around, and a product that is reasonably priced which a whole family can come out and enjoy. These things are what will increase our attendance not what another school is or isnt doing.

??????????????????????

I drive from BR for our games....they VERY MUCH effect our attendance! I know several people that only come to UL games when LSU is on the road, and will not consider going to a UL home game if LSU is at home.

Yep. Most of my family is high tailing it over there on Saturday for some odd reason. Zero LSU alumni in our family. Go figure. I might be alone on this but wouldn't it be cool if a strange red mist descended on all roads leading out of Baton Rouge during a Tiger's game making visibility absolutely zero, and all the people who flock to Baton Rouge are forced to stay their for an extended period of time? Just a thought.

You can pick and choose your friends... but you are stuck with your family.

Upgrading the stadium and expanding the capacity are 2 different things. Cajun field needs upgrading and a slight increase in capacity would not be a bad thing either. To me the ideal stadium would seat 35k with more revenue opportunities with boxes, club seats, etc. Keeping some of the grass in 1 or both end zones would allow for the occasional 40k crowd. Any thing bigger than that would cause a supply glut.
