PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

[Boomer]

They paint for the Tulane for the Tulane games games I am almost certain!!! must not be a big deal---Just imagine LOUISIANA and WW shows up and is trying to get it erased--Then the Monroe administration complaining to T-JOE again!!!!!

I think you guys are going to be disappointed. I don't think they paint the end zones for the New Orleans Bowl. It's going to say "Saints."

if you go to the homepage of the bowl, there's a highlight clip from last year. they had OHIO and TROY in the endzones, and since the Saints are out of town that weekend, I highly doubt they would leave the Saints logos in the endzones

We would probably lose to Illinois or purdue and that will put a damper on things

Section 144 Row 32....A sea of RED!

I think there will be a lot more sold closer to the game date. New Orleans has a lot going on, and a lot of folks there make spur-of-the-moment plans. I deal with a lot of Southeast LA. vendors...the Buzz is high!

I think you are right.

ps was that a pun?

Also, many local businesses are buying suites. Those are not sold through the university so those numbers are not included in the university's count. Scott Farmer inquired about that and was told that even though these were UL fans buying the suites UL would not be credited with those sales.

Sec 144. We have about 40 seats in 4 rows...

that is all.

The school gets 100% of the first 9000 or so tickets sold through the school, and 50% of all above that number sold through the school. There are roughly 2000 tickets at $60 sold through the school [$120,000]. 7000 more at $40 [$280,000] and [if we sell 20,000 tickets through the school] 11,000 tickets at $20 [220,000]. That would give us a total payout of $620,000. Not bad.

Does anybody know a rough estimate of what the teams' expenses are for the entire bowl experience? IE, what may we "net" from the trip? Thanks.
