Interesting Attendance Figures

tangidawg · 09-13-2009, 01:47 PM

These figures are from the Baton Rouge Advocate.

Ulm = 9,330
ULL = 16, 431*
Grambling = 75,432*
Tulane = 5,428

*must be a misprint

Not a misprint. Southern didn't bring 20,000+ to Cajun Field this weekend. I watched some of it on ESPN360, and there was nobody there.

And congrats to the G-men for their W over Northwestern St.

It was also a monsoon in Lafayette for the game I doubt we would have cracked 10k with weather like we had last night.

ULL is, they allegedly had 40K for Southern

Tulane had 5k fans see BYU, a top 20 team??????

Tech-Nicholls will put us between ULL and ULM......I am talking butts in the seats

tangidawg · 09-13-2009, 01:58 PM

What about the GSU game?

ULL is going to be solid this season. They beat up on K State this weekend. I am not surprised that they can pack it out in Lafayette. Good for them.

Those attendance numbers tell a huge story. Many high schools draw more than what Tulane and ULM did. No school will be able to compete at the D-1 level for very long without consistent paid attendance of at least 20K. Throw in your occasional gimmick game (Southern, Grambling, A&M in S'port, etc.), and you can get your average up to 25K paid. This includes us. We must build our base of support up to the 20K level. Tulane and ULM may be lost causes but Tech and ULL at least have a shot at getting there. If we can't, we simply won't be able to fund our program the way we must in order to be successful. Has the season ticket sales total been announced? I heard we set a new record again this year.

I don't think anyone here disagrees with what you stated above. However, you don't build a fan base by starting off the season 0-2. Only about 10 of the 120 Div 1A schools in the country are 0-2 so far this year, and we are one of them. Not cool.

The ticket sales we way down the entire week before. One article said they might get half of what they had at southern. The weather definately hurt, put they weren't pushing anything close to southern figures. I'm gonna go ahead and call bs on 29k for fiu.

I would say by looking at those pictures you validate there werent 40,000 there. I see ALOT of red seats! Good try! Further, that is only half of your stadium. Which means there were closer to the actual attendance of 20,000. Beautfiul pic though of the sky!
