Yea, even though I'm not happy at all about it, this is the kind of problem that is a good problem to have because it signals that we're getting to where we want to be. The next step, of course, is to be the kind of program that forces everyone else to move games. But this is our foot in the door.
It might be good national exposure but it is going to give the Shreveport casual fan another excuse to not drive over and see a good football game/team in their own back yard. Good that we're getting the exposure but probably not going to help put butts in the seats.
A few weeks ago we were complaining about the HS games scheduled at Independence Stadium on that Saturday...no excuse with that now.Quote:

I know it sucks for our folks outside of the 200 mile radius or so. I still think that we will pull 20-25K for this game. And that is 18-23K more than Tulame would draw playing "at home in the Dome."
Good Grief, GAMEDAY could show up and some on here would bitch about the traffic and lack of parking. ESPN wants to put us on National TV......enough said. This is a great thing for the exposure of La Tech. Now let's go kick Tulane's ARSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not ESPN...more likely CBS or Fox.Quote:

There are only a little over 6k undergraduates on campus...Quote:

I'm griping about this! Not sure exactly what I'm griping about, just about "this" in general! :furious3:
But, I'll be there....
Probably a good game for the "Red Out".
I was thinking the same thing MD.Quote:
