Cajun Field Size ... Capacity Tenacity

Cajun Field Size

Capacity needs to be 30K max after the upgrades! If there is anyway we can have a random mixture of red and white seating peppered throughout the stadium that would help the illusion of a thicker crowd. I’ve seen enough of the shiny metal bleachers and concrete…we are a AP Top 25 program and need to show up like it. Otherwise greatly reduce capacity.

Why lower the bar though? Acadiana needs to rise up and fill the 40k.

TWO football games in 5 days is not easy on the wallet.

true, but if stadium is empty shouldnt the price go down?

for example, baltimore orioles a few years ago (and may still have) 10 or 15 buck walk up tickets only available last hour before game time…. maybe cajuns could go with 8, last 30 minutes?

p.s. do student’s still get in free with ID and are they able to escort a non student for $5?

I'd settle for #3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

redistricting back to how state was originally mapped!

thanks for the work...however, When you threw ECU and App in there, you see the proof that reaching a goal of 31k can be done. Actually, I don't see how comparing our apples to those oranges on that list makes much sense. None of those other teams are ranked, btw, or were playing with a 7 game win streak.

I highlighted the Fresno State at #21 SDSU. A 6-2 team vs. a 7-0 team. 3 days later they were both ranked in the CFP poll. 11,034 in the stands. That's actually on the high side for a great team.

I know it's one comparison, but I was just looking at G5s from last week.

Why are we even mentioning that unranked team here?

Turbine, just curious why the title of this thread was changed?

My concern moving forward has more to do with just last night. I feel we have an opportunity with the upgrades to adjust Cajun Field in more ways than just capacity to help our perceived brand/following. From a national perspective of course.

No doubt but we have attended this way since 1975.

30K, maximum, would work perfectly. Create demand and too bad for those left out on certain games.

I sat on the visitors side for the first time ever. (Got me out of that wind) I never knew how loud it was from that side! I was actually impressed!

Man, when you've got a good student turnout, that's the place to be to have fun. It's loud, your standing up the whole game (which I miss since moving to the opposite side), it's a blast.
