PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

[I Cajun Me]

Is there anything on the back of the shirt? I think the "Paint the Quarter Red" logo from the bowl bash would be awesome!!

I assume that my status as an RCAF member will do me no good whatsoever now that general admission seats have gone on sale. I wasn't able to put down a deposit earlier Am I correct in that assumption?

New Orleans Bowl will host a free concert the Friday night before at Spanish Plaza near the river down on Poydras.

nah, I don't know why people think that there are gen admission tics for sale.. If you go to ticketmaster you can get a tic but its in like sec 107 in the corner of the endzone.. worst seats in the dome... If you reserved a seat you will be fine....

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted on this board, although I do read and follow every week to catch up on news and notes from all of you guys. Thankfully this one hasn't been like the past few years I've had to fish for good info and excitement from our Cajuns.

Anyways, allow me to get to the point. I'm a UL Alumni who now resides in New Orleans and works in the nightlife/ bar scene down here in the Warehouse District/downtown area. We are currently in the process of planning some NO Bowl parties catered specifically to Ragin Cajuns fans to celebrate this one of a lifetime occasion.

I'm simply starting this thread to get some feedback about how many people are planning on actually coming down for the weekend of the game, which days you'd plan to arrive, what kind of entertainment/scene, etc... that you guys would like to see in regards to any Ragin' Cajun parties and/or tailgates. I'm working with many different venues in order to set up things for different days such as Generations Hall, The Metropolitan, The Bricks, Red Eye, etc...

We have many things in mind that we will try to pull of already, but I'm simply trying to get some feedback from the actual diehard fan base. Currently, I'm trying to arrange something for Friday evening in the Warehouse Dist that would include a small cover charge which would get you a Red Band and lock in cheap drink specials all night long. I'm also looking to set up a "pregame" party at a bar near the dome which would provide for a one for all bracelet that includes cover, draft beer/wells, and also catered food for the afternoon leading up to the game, and finally the main party would be a UL Victory party where ticket stubs could be brought for incentives, live entertainment, tons of drink specials, and possibly food as well.

We have a good bit of time to make sure that this weekend will be one that won't ever be forgotten. This is truly one of the proudest moments in our school's history and certainly the greatest moment of our athletic program since our baseball team made it to Omaha. I can ensure you that no matter what the response, there will be UL exclusive events being put on that weekend and you will see advertisements all over FB and if I'm allowed to, posted here. I am simply looking for ideas of what you would like to be offered, would like to see, or would be interested in checking out should these suggestions be provided for. Whether drink specials, recommended cover that you wouldn't mind paying, certain entertainment.. etc.

I look forward to hopefully hearing back from some of you regulars, and especially look forward to being in the dome come Decemeber 17th!

Best,
COC - Class of '06

No, I know I said gen admission but I.realize its not really GA. I'm just wondering if I get in line for ticket location choice behind the purported 11K tickets sold so far. That's all.

The Ragin’ Cajuns Athletics Department announced Wednesday that over 11,000 tickets have already been sold for the football team’s upcoming appearance in the New Orleans Bowl.
