PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

[SlappyCajun]

Hop on 310 right after Hahnville High school. It will put you on i-10 about ten miles west of the NOLA airport.

Not well. I saw a spot on WWL and it had a shot of Cajun cheerleaders for about a second. There also a billboard on I-10. Nothing on the sports casts thus far.

I did hear a 30 second spot on WWL yesterday that included bowl information, ticket packages, info on the concert in Spanish Plaza, and other events.

I can't believe people are actually complaining about any of this. Flawed though it might be, it is still a thing of beauty to me.

As of yesterday, the New Orleans Bowl had not given the green light to opening the upper deck of the Dome. If they don't then the attendance for this year's game could be artificially "sold out" at around 35,000. Apparently there are extra costs associated with opening the upper level (security, ushers, cleaning, etc.) that the Bowl has never had to face.

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.

.

Well if the same people who do the attendance for the TuLame games counts for the Nola bowl we might have 80,000 in attendance!

For the beer connoisseurs, try Crescent City Brew House on Decatur. Excellent beers and raw oysters as good as I've had anywhere. The rest of the menu is quite good also. Will be there Friday afternoon.

I hope to be there. Friend supposed to be getting us tickets. Just waiting on his confirmation.

Good morning Ragin Cajuns fans!! Good luck this week!

Where is CajunWave with more doomsday scenario's. BTW, this game is getting out to the masses. I have had several friends ask me if we really sold 18K in tickets. I expect a great walkup crowd with the two lower levels near capacity!!!!

33-35k is a good attendance will give cajun backers something to shoot for in the future. While it's cool a good school like SDSU got the nod, the reality is they would have had to go to Guam to find a team from further away for this game. If they could have matched us up with a school like SMU they would have well in excess of forty thousand.
