DP:
The "legit" way for you is to sell them a print (at an inflated price) and give them the ticket.

A sold out stadium is going to be incredible!
You have to wonder if it will happen more than this one time,
or if the Bulldogs are playing lights out, could it happen several times this year??
Time to get north La. excited about BULLDOG FOOTBALL!

Anybody that has a wedding opening weekend should be subject to removal from "family & friend" status.
Correction, anyone that has a wedding in the FALL should be subject to removal!!!!

If you move the tailgating out of the parking lot you might as well call it "Couch-gating". Because that is where everyone would tailgate.... at home!
I'd rather see MORE tents and shuttles for the parking.

I thought you taught her better than that.

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.

I hope you are right about the attendance and I hope that our administration was smart enough to plan for that. If we were able to add temporary seating and push well beyond the 30K ceiling that we have never met, I think it would be a huge WIN for us.

Don't think we can approach the 30k with new capacity going to be about 27K...

The Joe will be 28,019 at game time which means we would be 1,981 seats short of the 30k. Are you telling me we couldn't put 1,981 temporary seats in the North End zone??

2,000 fans will hear that we are serving hot bottle Pepsi and congealed cheesy nachos and go back home to watch on tv. Seating problem solved. Sorry, pessimist came out. Positive Techman is back now.

I am just saying that from an optimist point of view, if Southern is as advertised we could break 30K with temporary seating.

Oh I know. I wasn't commenting directly at you, just being negative nancy for a bit. We/they could make it happen with a little effort.

[Dowty]

We've had the entire offseason to prepare for this. The admin better follow through.

Wonder if the SU band will be put in the NE corner of the grass? ;-)

If it was a normal year maybe - but with bringing the DAC on line, I really don't think it is feasible...

I would sell about 500 hillside seating GA passes for $15 each and be done with it
