I look at it as helping the department stay competitive with salaries for coaches and staff. It's really the only reason RCAF is necessary, IMO
you are probably a diehard fan tho sir. you can not grow an organization structure with out a transactional relationship for the majority of people. human nature. there has to be a benefit worth giving. i dont necessarily disagree with requiring rcaf donations for season tix but if fans see it as a money grab they will never give above the minimum and you definitely wont attract the casual donor. i would bet most potential donors see the rcaf as a money grab with no actual benefit of membership
I've had my 2 season tickets and my Tailgate spot since 1998. I pay whatever it takes to keep them. Right now that is somewhere around $2000. I think the RCAF gets like half of that?
This is my limit with my finances. If those fees were less, I would get a couple more season tickets.
The benefit to this level of donation is ability to purchase C Lot parking. Which, for me, is meanigless because we park in our Tailgate spot.
I can understand that view, but that money is important to the survival of the program and it's competitiveness. If you haven't noticed, college athletics has become a money grab period. But, if you want this program to remain competitive, then do a simple donation of $100. My son lives in the Dallas area and I've recently talked him in to donating $100 to RCAF for the same reason. It's a personal decision, but you can invest at a minimal level. I'm not doing it for the rewards.
It’s always good to have a parking pass.
I drive 1.5 hour one way, most times sleep in the Hilton Garden Inn the night after the game. Then drive another 1.5 hour back home next day. Sometimes I drive there and back in one night. I would call myself a die hard committed fan though. Just wish we had more like me and most on this board in Lafayette and surrounding Acadiana area.
That being said, our die hard fans are great fans. Let’s just keep growing the brand and winning.
My overall experience is good when I go to Cajun games. Not perfect but what is?
I promise you LSU games are miserable to go to with all those people packed in there and outside the stadium. You talk about a cluster to get out of that place.
UL games are family friendly and cheap to go to compared to other places.
