In the past, the $40 tickets were end zone seats and not in the "team" seats. Not sure about this year, but to make sure, it would be wise to wait on UL to launch their tickets sales blitz for the bowl game. That way you'll be in the UL section, and you'll be supporting the Ragin' Cajuns' efforts to sell their allotment of tickets.
The number of tickets sold by the University may help sway other bowl committees to invite UL in future years if we sell our initial ticket allotment, and then go back to the bowl and ask for more tix to sell.
