Someone Has Finally Listened - Southern Univeristy Coming to Ruston in 2015

If nothing else, we will find out if the administration is ready for La Tech to be a BIG TIME program!
Let's get it right!
Turning away fan's is one thing, but not making sure the Fan's there
are taking care of, and have an incredible experience is something else!
A bad memory can linger for some time!

SU would never ask your band to sit on the ground if you were to visit our campus! We would inconvenience some of our fanbase before that happens!

Not meant to be derogatory. A sizeable temporary bleacher setup (as seen on PGA events) could be looked into. I mean, heck, bands in the superdome have been put in seats on the sideline before.

PS--I don't have my gameday degree, but I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.

In the 1980's Tech played at ULM and overflowed their small stadium. We stood in the endzone and had a great time! Bleachers are definitely NOT required to handle overflow demand. Plus the space bleachers consume may cause others to not be able to buy an SRO ticket; and Lord knows we need as many tickets sold and possible!

For the last few years, the IBowl allowed a vendor to offer some kind of "tailgate seating" in the endzone. They had chairs/table set up under a canopy and served appetizers and beverages for the price of a premium ticket.

Sitting on the grass in the North end might be fun, unless it rains. Pray for a beautiful day.

How many more days?

This game is an easy sell-out. Feedback I have received from Southern alum in my office and even Grambling alum is that Southern will easily provide 20k - even if some do not get into the game. When Southern plays Jackson St. in Jackson - its always a sell out. Southern alum tell me that whether they expect to win or lose for them its the event and when I told them the capacity they said tell Tech fans to buy tickets, IF NOT then expect a Southern home game.


This concerns me since Tech fans are notorious for last minute and walk up ticket sales. BUY TICKETS ASAP!!!!

I have herd that the student section usually packs the seats to capacity, if that's the case will they sell more tickets then there are numbered seats on the east side?

Grambling is playing @ California on Sept 5th, so expect quite a few of their fans to be at the game as well.

Dorms open on the 4th, the 7th is Labor Day, and Fall Quarter Registration is the 9th. Given that, what kind of student support should we expect?

I haven't had a good tailgate all summer so expect Blue to be there all day :D

If we try, the answer can be "everyone."

It will be excellent.

Our family just bumped up to 8 season tickets total. We can't wait!

I like the way you guys are thinking. I know SU alumni chapters from as far away as Chicago are buying tickets in blocks of 200-300. This is shaping up to be a football game with a side order of fun filled insanity.

you would have to think with Fall Registration not till after Labor Day that student participation will be limited a bit! Good news for the Jag... Fans!
Unless the Ruston community is in-gaged, the additional seating may not be required!
Still hoping for that over flow crowd for the game!
