PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

[cajunref]

I take 90 to Venice, LA to go fishing alot, but never really go that way to go to NOLA. To get to the Superdome area of NOLA, do I cross the Huey P. Long Bridge or just stay on 90 through the west bank? Also, what is the toll there like $3?

I take Westbank Expressway, exit at O'Keefe. Toll $1.

I agree with the masperos on Friday for lunch. I love that place great sandwich. After that no time to eat its going to be a great time.

UL officials are encouraging Ragin' Cajun fans to "come and send off the players" when they leave this afternoon for New Orleans, where Saturday night they will face San Diego State in the New Orleans Bowl. The Cajuns will board buses and depart ...

The rest of the story

The only definite I have is Pascal Manale's on Thursday evening.

We should be very satisfied. The bowl officials allocated tickets to UL with the anticipation that it would be a record crowd. I figure the sum of tickets given to UL was with that record crowd in mind. We've done our part. It's a near sell-out of tickets that we were given!!! Heck, it even actually has a great chance to be a complete sell-out of our portion. Should we be happy? Heck Yeah!!

If we could get the baby sitter for Thursday we do that but as of now eight Friday morning.

We are bringing a party of about ten. Both my bestfriends from highschool and one just so happens to be a damn nechster! He is being a good sport and is wearing a UL shirt for the game so he is at least a semi smart Rustonain. Haha. I had originally bought my tickets through UL but then was given a handful through R&L so I was able to invite a few people who have never attended a game. We will be in sec 335 at the 45yd. Shouldn't be to bad a view. I look for to showing both of them how we have a good time and how we play Ragin Cajun football!!!

Come on and get here Saturday!!

Mesperos is our family favorite so I'm hoping to eat their twice. We have been so much the waitress' recognize us haha makes me giggle! My cousin is flying in from south Carolina just for the bowl game! He recently came back from Iraq and I can't wait to show him what a good time is Cajun fans are as this will be his first game!

agree, poor job by the ticket office. they need help.

[Big Silly]

good question. the best seats in the superdome are on the 200 level close to the 50 yard line.

Not only is it our first bowl appearance in 41 years, that is big enough, add to that we will shatter the attendance record for the N.O. Bowl in this game, which currently sits at 30,228 but more importantly:

With a Cajun win this year, for the first time in the history of the N.O. Bowl the SBC will have a winning record, currently the SBC record in the N.O. Bowl sits at 5-5, we could be the first team ever to get the SBC to a winning record in the bowl that was created for us! This is huge.

Geaux Cajuns!!!!!

Shivaun said on the news last night that we probably were not going to get anymore tickets. Which means we maxed out what they were willing to give to us.

I wonder if prior attendance numbers reported were tickets sold, distributed or actual turnstile count? Each one of those numbers could be significantly different.
