In Need of An Explanation

. . . Yes, just screw those willing to pay to have a sure consistent spot . . . is this guy a brain surgeon or does he need a brain surgeon . . .

Except the market of those willing to pay for it has gone down..The administration doesn't seem to acknowledge this just like you. I think we all see who needs the brain surgeon...

We need the two people who DJ the Friday Morning Breakfast Jam on Hot 107.9 FM. Not sure what happened with the other guy, but the two person team that used to do the show (one of the original duo is still running it.) It's as good as it gets. I'd put them against ANY Stadium in America. They have every song you've ever heard at any bar in Lafayette going all the way back to the 80's. They put together crazy re-mixes then change it up going all out Plaza. Talk about bring back an entire generation of Lafayette residents. Yea, the Castles in the sky and all that Blue Skies, etc.

This is an idea only, a serious one. We need more than Football at this point. If you watched the Saints @ Foxborough today, you prob noticed that amazing new video board they installed. If the future of the Swamp wants to be a "mixed use" facility, hosting concerts and such, a video board of that kind could be used as an outdoor theater screen.

Only suggestions.

. . . also, until the combination of high schools in the 80’s, none of these high schools had football . . . Fatima, Holy Rosary, Arnauldville, Loureville, Sunset, Maurice, Meaux, Indian Bayou, E. Broussard, Pecan Island, . . .

All about supply and demand at this point.

One thing I noticed is the tailgating on Congress is DEAD. I mean NO ONE. You have to get people out there. Go cheaper per game. Give a parking pass and free tickets. Get people out there. With the cost of everything going up, give people a reason to tailgate. $100 gets you a tailgate spot, 4 tickets and a parking pass for Ga State. Seems pretty easy. If $100 doesn't draw people in... do it for $50 for Southern Miss.

Loreauville has had 11 man football since 1953 and played 6 man before that.

I feel we have to fix what to have to take care of the loyal fans that already goes to the games. Make it enjoyable for the fans you have attending and we will bring others. Lets say we have 30,000 fans at homecoming are we really prepared for all those people. I'd say no, so let clean our house before inviting others to the party. Sometimes I visit Tulane stadium and think they did it right not too big and a decent product on the field with desirable home games. We all want to see more butts in the stands but sometimes you got to give the people what they want before they will come out and spend lots of money on your product.

I think we should go back to making the majority of the parking lot first come first serve and tailgating free to bring back the party vibe. If we can’t get people in the gates we surely won’t get them in the stands. #MakeTailgatingGreatAgain

. . . I'm not sure what 11 man football is other than probably an non LHSAA club sport, but they played sports in Class B which was basketball, baseball and track only . . .
