PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

[CajunDreDog]

Are they going to issue generic tickets that don't have the actual opponents playing in the New Orlans Bowl?

I would hope not. Hang tight.

I would hope we get really nice looking tickets with both teams listed on them, pretty and in color. I don't want no cheap looking Ticket Master stuff.

I hope the other team does not have red as a primary color so we can really show our colors, pick out fellow Cajuns and leave no doubt that we have taken over New Orleans.

Sorry, couldn't pass up the opportunity to get shots on you & J1M in the same day. Attending bowl acceptance cerimonies is sharpening my IQ.

Hey, no problem. You have to take a shot when you see an opening.

IMO, CWS is bigger than this. Not all schools can say they went to world series!!!!!

I took some video with my camera last night from the awesome Pep Rally for our invitation to the New Orleans Bowl. I didn't get to catch everything, and it's a little shaky sometimes (I was holding my camera above my head and I don't do nearly enough pushups), but I got the important stuff. Can't wait to Paint the Quarter Red!

Awesome video!

Great summary of the night, indeed. And seeing as the replay of the event is STILL NOT yet on the website, this will do! I'll likely be sending out the beauty to some family/friends that didn't get a chance to make it or watch online.

good question. I would think they might hold off printing tickets until an opponent is announced. I would hope so anyway

Ok, here's the real official scoop. All tickets will be assigned on line. You print your reservation on your printer (use color laser printer if you want "pretty"). You then show up at the Mercedes Benz Super Dome, ticket reservation in hand, and the TSA (Ticket Supervisers of America) will then put you in a long line. At this point we are now all equal but glowing with anticipation, excitement and the need to tinkle really bad!!

Then, much anticipated, you proceed to the head of the line after snaking through the teller ropes for 2 hours. Hope you got in line before 5:30! The light shines brightest upon your arrival to the front of the line, food in belly from tailgating. Then....you discover that you must strip to the boxers in a vain effort to prove you are not trying to sneak in a dangerous mixed drink or
two.

Ok, now you are now really jumping with anticipation, ready to watch your Cajuns kick some (soon to be named) butt. WOW, WOW! WOW!!!. Buttttt, oops. They over booked the game and you get offered a free ticket to next years Goat Bowl to watch WKU and LA Tech.!!!!!!

Moral of this story? Chill! This admin is organized and smart. Thy shall be taken care of and we will all have a night to remember ( or forget, depending on how much you drink). GEAUX CAJUNS!!!!

That was great.. thanks.. ps: I could never understand why they did not install lights in the indoor facility.. I guess they didn't think they would need them at night.. they might have to re think that!..lol....

Section GNAD14
Row GA9
Seat 1700

These aren't the ones I bought (haven't bought any yet, still waiting on some friends to confirm), but this is a sample of the seats listed. GNAD I assume means General Admisson. This does not correspond with the seating chart for the Saints games. Anyone know the deal here?

If you're buying those tickets, then you're not purchasing them through the UL Ticket Office. ALL tickets sold by UL will be reserved seats. The only way to purchase General Admission tickets is through the New Orleans Bowl and their ticket outlets/website.

BUY YOUR TICKETS THROUGH UL ! You'll get better seating AND help our University.
