There are still numbers on the seats, so we can either have just that number of GA tix for any one game, and when they're gone, they're gone. Or! just sell as many GA tix as there's demand. When we've had great attendance by students, and by we eastsider crazies, we've put MORE fans in those sections than there are designated seats. Several games, I'd estimate those sections were at 125% at least. Because everyone stands, it's easy to squeeze 'em in.

    And since we're dreaming....

    I hope to see some type of enclosure in the NEZ and those can be designated "cheap seats" like $5 each, and would be ideal for hosting high school bands, Scout Troops, Church groups, family reunions, etc...

    Aerosmith tune just popped into my mind. Ya know...
    Thank you for the endorsement.
    Sell em at whatever price. Just stamp the seat location (ON THE TIX) so we’ll officially know when we’ve “sold out”.

    I was at the game. It was a small video board suspended from a crane.

    Re: What would it take?

    The answer to the sell out in history: Fall of 1981 (yes, I am that old) there were NO seats available anywhere when we played Northeast Louisiana University at home. People were LITERALLY sitting in the end zones when the end zones were bowl type, grass hills.

    What it would for it to happen today is a product that is about 200 percent better than we have now and a dominating season, against an opponent that matters.

    Yes, if the game were to be a Conference Championship, that would be a chance. If the game were against an in-state opponent (ULM or ULL) I think there'd be a chance. Or if it were a USM and everything was on the line.

    For the record, the second biggest crowd I ever saw there was also against the little school from Monroe, In 1999, at Tim Rattay's last home game.

    I don't think a game with ULL generally comes close to our record crowds. Better than average probably, but not close to a sellout.

    True. We've had decent attendance for ULL games, but not better than NSU.

    Yeah. I would take ULL over Bowling Green, UMASS, or UNLV for an OOC game all things being equal.

    But I don't think they're a factor in the "what would it take for a hard sellout" conversation the way their ULX buddy in Monroe could be for us.

    If you're counting on them to bring more than 1000 I wouldn't . They have seen the separation and they barely will go to a game in Monroe . Of course we are dipping down at a precipitous rate !

    If ULL wins a few years in a row, maybe even a SunBelt title, I believe they bring a good number of fans to Ruston. They would sell their collective souls to the Devil to be able to beat us in Ruston.

    That's meaningless -

    For the first game they would flock over here like flies on she-at.....

    Yep. Me too. I was there in 1999 when 27,360 TECH fans packed into JAS to watch the Dogs humiliate ULM (NLU), 58-17. It was Tim Rattay's last home game (there were still 2 road games remaining at UAB & nationally ranked USC), and there was no bowl opportunity in site for our Dogs, despite Tech finishing with an 8-3 record. BTW, there weren't 500 NLU fans in that crowd. It was almost ALL LA TECH fans.

    Was the 97 game the record for attendance or the 99 game?

    With the exception of the first game in 97 there were no NLULM fans at the games and that included the ones in Monroe!
