Tailgate spot wanted

[Cajun Monkee]

Just curious if they did open cajun field to non RCAF parking for a pay to park each game. What would be a rate you would be ok with? 15, 20, 25…?

Two tickets for that particular game purchased beforehand.

Mardi Gras fair was $20 to park

The problem is not the walking it’s not anything it just puts a bad taste inside peoples mouth when they cross over and all you see is a bunch of empty parking!

Here you are parking across congress just to park when they would of paid 20 bucks just to park at Cajun Field.

It’s like ULM no one is complaining about the 10 dollar parking because when you go there it is filled closest to the stadium

$20 should be a good number. Probably with a “designated” location for game day parking. I think the idea of having game tickets is good. But I’d be fine without them too. Still $$ in athletic department’s coffers.
Probably “too hard” for UL to handle though …..

Agree 20 would be the minimum. Many people who aren’t in the current reserved area are your walk up ticket purchasers. So ticket in hand wouldn’t be a good idea.

Are you saying if you have 2 tickets purchased before hand you park for free inside of cajun field?

Id be good with paying $20 which is basically equal to the cost of a Lot D parking pass. Again, its not about the money. Its the principle.

Yup.

If simply seeing empty parking spaces is a turn-off, I'd give folks with pre-purchased single game tickets access to the parking adjacent to Cajun Field.

My personal experience is there is more than a handful of folks who are tailgating but not going to the games. So I'd hate to simply give these folks parking just to go tailgate.

At least if they are buying tickets, you are getting (even faux) butts in the stands.

Congratulations you just killed the RCAF. Many members of the RCAF lower levels of 500 and less are members just to be able to do things like buy tailgate spots and or parking passes for Cajun Field. You give free access to that with just a ticket in hand there is no longer that incentive to join the RCAF. Membership would dwindle down over night.

This is the wrong approach. When we had our best attendance it was during the years the tailgate area was packed with people "just going to tailgate". I never had an extra ticket go unused during those years , gave away all 5 every game and usually ahd to hunt down more. Ever since we chased off the "just tailgate crowd" i couldnt give away tickets, would let me buddy use them to get abck in after he went smoke cigarettes. You have to get them in the gate if you want a chance to get them in the stadium. Who cares if people stay outside or go home, if we get back to 25k a game why does it matter? what we are doing is not working. Trying to force people isnt working, hasnt worked since we started trying it.
