TexGator Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 This is a lot of empty seats... when only 1/3 of seats are filled, there's no excitement about the program. What can we do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamarfan360 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 The only thing that will help attendance long term is winning. For Lamar to get there, the AD has to hire the right head coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Maybe the coach should have an incentive based on butts in the seats. Also see if you can get better home opponents. I'll admit that's probably harder than it used to be with the politics of rankings for NCAA Tournament seedings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit that's probably harder than it used to be with the politics of rankings for NCAA Tournament seedings. Definitely need to get better opponents. "North American University" isn't going to get people to spend $100+ for a set of seats for the family... isn't going to get people to drive over from Houston for a game... isn't going to get people excited to make a Cardinal Club donation to get guaranteed seats. Next week's game will definitely be the biggest crowd of the season with PV coming in. I would love to see us play them annually. Also, to get the winning that truly puts butts in seats (giving up a whole Saturday (or at least Saturday evening, if you live in the Golden Triangle), we have to beat out schools like Texas Southern and Prairie View for student athletes before we can get to the point of being able to say "______ chose the Cardinals over offers from (insert FBS programs here like Texas State, UTSA, LA-Lafayette, LA-Monroe, and others).
