Louisiana doesn't exactly kill it in ticket sales in general. Looking at 2021, they had one game over 30k (the championship against us) and one game near 30k (28k for their homecoming). The rest of their home games were 16-24k, so there was already some squishiness in their fan support.GSUwasGump’sFallbackSchool wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 10:27 amWonder what Coastal’s will be once Chadwell goes to Tampa and McCall leaves?
UL’s tickets plummeted in their first season after Napier left.
The set up of their stadium probably has a lot to do it with it...there is ZERO shade, amenities or comfort.appchicago wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 10:54 amLouisiana doesn't exactly kill it in ticket sales in general.

And then they proceeded to have a pretty sad season. Not as bad as ours, but losing to ULM, Rice, etc. had to hurt. Late in the season their attendance was down to 11k.
We're lucky to have fans that are a little hardier, but we have had the luxury of many winning seasons. Louisiana was consistently bad prior to 2011, and then had 22 wins vacated for NCAA violations between 2011 and 2014. Napier didn't really get them going until 2019.
I don't think the requirement has ever been 25K. The minimum "required" attendance is 15K but it never has been enforced. I don't think the MAC meets even that.bigdaddyg wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 9:53 amI wonder how many teams would be at this level if there was an actual requirement to be at a minimum of 25k in ticket sales (guess it would have to be sales since butts don't matter). How many MAC teams exceed that mark? You might see 40 schools get relegated to FCS.
Yeah I knew it was lower and not enforced but I was just thinking if the minimum was only 25k how many teams would not make it? Even the ones who have around 15k would have to pony up for a bunch of prepaid aluminum. Wasn't attendance a hard requirement way back? I always thought that was one of the main reasons App was dropped to FCS.Yosef84 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 1:14 pmI don't think the requirement has ever been 25K.

It was a hard requirement as far as attendance and stadium size when Div I split into I-AA and I-Abigdaddyg wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 1:27 pmYeah I knew it was lower and not enforced but I was just thinking if the minimum was only 25k how many teams would not make it?

App wasn't dropped to FCS (I-AA). The SoCon opted to drop down. It's true that attendance would have been a hurdle back then because we were nowhere near the 15K requirement. Conrad Stadium (now Kidd Brewer) was also way below requirements. If the requirement were put at 25K, App wouldn't have made it until the past few years. That would definitely chop down the size of FBSbigdaddyg wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 1:27 pmYeah I knew it was lower and not enforced but I was just thinking if the minimum was only 25k how many teams would not make it?

We could have dropped out of the SoCon like ECU did but we didn't meet the minimumsYosef84 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 1:39 pmApp wasn't dropped to FCS (I-AA). The SoCon opted to drop down.
