The Story of the MudBugs Football Team in Lafayette Louisiana

[mycoskiemedia]

Notice how the font and logo are very similar to the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs hockey team... Wish they could have been a bit more original with the football team name...

Nice but just a note; anyone who uses the term "MudBugs" is not from here.

Former Cajuns who might be on the team WR Kemmie Lewis, DT Michael Moore, and DT Kendrick Haynes. As for the prices if true $18.50 is very high $10.00-$12.00 would be better.

I would definitely be down for 10-12$, 18 is a bit steep, but I'm glad that Kemmie Lewis would be playing because I really liked how he played as a cajun.

Acctually, my bad,its acctually 20$ a ticket plus all the little fees. 20$ for one game is gonna be a hard sell.

This can't possibly succeed. In what way can these owners think that this is a good way to invest their dollars.

Not at $20 per ticket. $10 for kids 5 and under. Kids 5 and under should be free! I will never attend a game at that price.

$18.50 + $1.50 fee....the mud bugs will fold after a couple of season. When the owner of the Icegators started to raise the prices attendance started to go down from 11,800 to maybe 2,500. They had five dollar seats for their games. $20 for a family of four. They got greedy and things start to fall apart...$20, I think not.....

Their business plan is very poorly thought through. At 20$, there is not a chance that they will even think about selling out blackham. If you sell the tickets at 10$, I'd go a lot and the chances are that with a little success, you'd be selling out.

That is more than the IceGators. I might head to one game to go into Blackham because I've never been in there. It is so small I can't imagine arena football being played in there. I wonder what genius got the idea for the name and logo? http://www.mudbugshockey.com/

After seeing what has happened in other cities (check out Beaumont's team) with these very very minor league teams, I'll be surprised if they finish season one. At this level, this is a really pathetic sport.

Frenchie, it won't take two seasons, IMO. Minor league baseball tried it, and failed. The Ice Gators were successful for a while until the the fans got tired of going to see a fight, and a hockey game broke out.

For certain, they are not going to get my dollars. I hate arena football. Its for the pits, which is usually where the game takes place.
