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

Giants 90-man roster breakdown: LB Tony Johnson

He faces perhaps the longest odds of making the 53-man roster of any player the Giants will bring to training camp. Still, he will be in camp. That means he has a chance.

Edit: Wrong thread thats what I get for having 6 BBB tabs open

I don't think anyone saying "moving tailgating away from the stadium", just stating that with growth of attendance, we need to look at expanding the tailgating footprint.

With the Miss State game, it went well. Tech fans tailgated around the stadium complex. Moo fans tailgated over by Memorial Gym/Hale Hall lot.

It's no different than what we experienced tailgating at A&M, LSU, etc.

When our gate is more than 50,000 fans . . . . we can do a lot of space planning away from the Tech Drive/West Alabama intersection. Right now, Ruston High School is our best next door neighbor. Temple Baptist would be next.

Good point. Last year we saw what happens when the Ruston High parking is being used for things other than fan parking (Time out for Tech with all the future Bulldogs and Lady Techsters) It caused quite a cluster.

Down in the capitol city for the weekend for some family reunioning! Talked to several Jaguar faithful including one major contributor to SU! Man, they are looking forward to this game with high expectation. They love the fact the first game is within the state just 3-plus hours away. I was told to look for more than 70 charter buses being sponsored by Jag alumni associations across Louisiana and Texas to make the trek to Northern Louisiana. One old classmate said that he and his neighbor were renting a 15-passenger van to make the trip North, and they were going to deck out the van in Jaguar blue & gold. As I have posted previously, Ruston will experience an invasion of die-hard visitors unlike anything it has seen before.

Should be fun. Tech fans better buy their tickets as this will not be a usual crowd. How many fans do you think Southern will bring?

Based on SU numbers I personally have seen at Northwestern State (approx. 10,000), Jackson State (approx. 20,000), Alcorn State (approx. 10,000), Tulane (approx. 27,000) & ULL (approx. 16,000), I would estimate no fewer than 8,000 and no more than 13,000 SU fans on your campus for the September 5 gridiron clash. The actual number will most likely fall somewhee in the middlle of the two extremes. My estimates are more realistic than any posted so far. If you underestimate, as it appears you are, you will find yourselves turning away thousands at the gate, as ULL did in 2009 and as NSU did in the late '90s. They were ignorant of the fact, and simply did not prepare adequately. Not only were they not prepared to seat that many visitors, their concessions were grossly inadequate as well.

We've got the second one covered.

We've got the second one covered.

We can handle about 6 people at concessions.

And 1 at a time please. Don't all show up at once or all the orders will get mixed up.

Wonder if the scalper police will be hovering around The Joe. I might buy me 10-20 general admission tix and sell them at a premium . . . . ;-) Isn't this what's done in the big leagues?
