REGIONAL WATCH PARTY

[cjr3888]

These threads are always interesting. Here's another issue nobody is mentioning.... the turf. Have you been on turf at 1:00 pm when it's 90 degrees? More like 110 on the turf. You will also need staff there to keep people from bringing food, beer, & drinks on the turf if you open the field. Lots of spills and you're changing out there all over the place. Just throwing that out there.

Now I agree on having watch parties at your sponsors establishments.

If I were in charge I would look at:
1pm game
Weekday
92 degree day in Lafayette
70% chance of rain in Coral Gables

With all that I would not open the stadium.

But I do hope if we get to the finals that that would look at it again.

It worked in 2015. It can work now.

Again, it wasn’t too hard for Scott Farmer to figure out. All of the “challenges” you just mentioned existed in 2015.

And this is why we can’t have nice things. Seriously! It’s gonna be hot, we should just drop the Ragin off the moniker because we are a fan base filled with _______.

The game I remember being there to watch was in the evening, not the heat of the day.

Really? We've had fans dropping like flies in the heat before so let's send them out on the turf. You can call them _____ all you want but that brings up another issue, you will need Acadian to be there for this exact reason.

If the admins were smart, they’d open up the Tigue, put the game on the big board, invite families, sell limited concessions and adult beverages. Have things for the kids, dizzy bat races and fun activities between innings.

Would be great for media coverage, would be great for fan appreciation, great for shared energy, great for social media PR, help die hards that can’t get to Miami and don’t really have streaming at home (like our older crowd) and on and on and on…

DITTO!!! If this is not done, what a shame on UL.

Having every televised away Cajuns sporting event at The Table Room open from 5:30 PM - 9:30 PM. Cajundome takes % cut of alcohol sales, bartenders get tipped out, athletic department gets the rest. I know that's a pipedream though because the people who run the Cajundome have enough trouble doing their day-to-day.

The games were open for all of our games of the regional. Not all games will be at Friday at 1:00.
