. . . this sounds so much like an over exaggeration it should probably be given no significance . . .

Good looking high school unis.

My first paragraph is what he did. Everyone thinks Hud flexed his muscles and rah rah rah people into the stadium. I don’t think it was his personality.

Didn't say it was. He got out into the community. He shook hands. He invited people to come out. Say what you want about his personality or his method. It worked. If you want to find ways to poke holes in that, knock yourself out. He did what no one else was able to do.

Missed more than a few Saints games growing up due to that restriction.

There has never been a blackout for college games.

Anyone have data one how many tickets lots get bought up every weekend by large companies? HUD vs Now?

. . . if I had to guess, those were bought as season tickets . . . it is not like we generally have games on our home schedule that are mounds better than other games on the schedule which would be an instance where blocks would be purchased by businesses for that particular game . . .

That would be interesting to see. HUD's attendance drop also coincided with the oilfield downturn in 2014-15. The other reasons were mentioned above, but that would have likely factored in with the large blocks of tickets previously bought by companies

To be clear- we are past that downturn for the most part now but we need to figure out how to get those blocks of tickets sales and/ or tailgating spots back

I've saying this for three years I agree with you 100%

anyone remember when did we start selling beer at Cajun field? I remember that being a big push for attendance because we were one of only a few in the country that were selling beer.

That block accounted for over 43% of the annual season ticket sales.
