$500? Seriously? $100 to park at the Montagne? Guess there won't be any actual students tailgating! lol

That's a good observation.  But I guess 5 students can go in and get a spot @$100.  $20 per student for 6 games.  $3.33 per game.  Or, just "make the rounds" - Frat and Sorority tents etc.

I read in the Beaumont Enterprise that they've already sold over 1000 tickets to Cardinal Club members.  That seems like a good start considering they have started selling any tickets to the general public.

[quote]Q. How can I get the best seat possible?

A. Arrive early. Roughly 1,000 tickets have been sold to Cardinal Club members, and a majority of those tickets are for chair-backed seats in the gold section, said Brad McGowan, LU's assistant athletic director for development. The stadium will seat approximately 15,300, so plenty tickets remain. [/quote]

I'll be conservative and say the average ticket sold was $225, which means Lamar has already sold $225,000+ worth of tickets, not counting parking.

Got mine this morning as well.  Parking seems to be going fast, they already sold out two of the lots by the time I got to the line (and I was about 40th in line this morning :)).  They did say that they were going to sell some blocks of four tailgate spots in the main Montagne lot now.

[quote name="mffl" post="748574" timestamp="1264273325"]Sold 901 season tickets today.

So, about 2000 tickets total between the 1,000 bought pre-sale and this bunch?

This was a good day for Lamar and the Southland Conference!

Hopefully, we'll have more good stories like this from not just the up-starts, but the programs who have been around for some time...

I think it's a pretty good start after 1/2 a day.  These are the hard core football fans who wanted the best seats.  Now the rest of the public can just call or order tickets online so over the next 7 months they should sell at least 3000 more. 

If they reach 5,000 season tickets sold that wouldn't be too bad.  I was thinking they'll see anywhere between 5K and 10K season tickets, although selling 10K is way too optimistic.  Doesn't McNeese average around 6500 a year?  I think Texas State with their 30K students only sell 2K or 3K season tickets a year.  By SLC standards Lamar will do alright.

I think McNeese sold about 7k-8k in season tickets. They had that barometer on their web site, for some reason I want to say it was closer to 8k than anything.

Can not remember what TXST sold. They had the big speedometer on their web site for "The Drive". The number jumped dramatically when the Fields gave their donations for the tickets.

Can you please let us all know where you got your math education?

    • Like I said, even if it’s only 10% of the 100 kids BHISD takes from GCCISD each year, that’s 10 athletes per year and that’s being generous.  You’re right about the jobs with BHISD, BTW.  There’s more than 1 athlete from Baytown originally who got transferred to BHISD after a job opened up for Mama.

    • It’s behind a paywall but here’s Baytown Sun’s story on it.  It was reported on in other papers statewide so if you search by the date I think you’ll find other stories on it. UIL strengthens student transfer rules By Ron McDowell [email protected] Oct 18, 2024   In order to maintain a level playing field for all member schools, the University Interscholastic League strengthened rules regarding transfer student eligibility at its most recent meeting in Austin. Every year thousands of students transfer schools in the state of Texas. A student’s ability to participate in UIL sanctioned activities may be limited base on the reasons for the transfer. A change in family status, work transfers, enrollment in an academic magnet program, or a move across town, receive scrutiny, but only rarely does one of these reasons result in the loss of eligibility. The only reason to automatically cause the loss of participation eligibility is a transfer for athletic purposes. The current rule, which has been in place since 1981, does not require a Previous Athletic Participation Form (PAPFs) to be submitted if the student-athlete does not participate in a varsity level sport during the first year of enrollment. There has been growing concern among some member schools, that other members are breaking the current rule and creating “super teams” with new transfer enrollees, and that the UIL is not doing enough to police, what appear to be, the inordinate number of transfers among high school athletes. To mitigate these concerns, the UIL approved a proposal to expand the power of the State Executive Committee (SEC) and allow it to investigate schools based upon the number of PAPFs submitted. Schools that submit an inordinate number of PAPFs would face heightened scrutiny and possible public reprimand and future sanctions. The UIL has also changed the requirements for PAPF submission, mandating that the form be submitted before a grade 9-12 transfer student may participate at any level of school athletics. This is a marked departure from the current policy which encourages schools not to complete PAPFs for students who transfer in, if the school believes that the student will not play a varsity sport in the first year the student is enrolled at the new school. Some critics of the current system think that the change doesn’t go far enough. Speaking on background, one local school district source suggested that there should be an automatic year wait for transfer students due to the number of loopholes in the waiver process. “If a student transfers, it should be a year out of competition automatically,” the source said. In addition, the UIL also approved a proposal that gives the SEC the power to appoint an independent administrator to oversee the conduct of the local District Executive Committee (DEC) if it is determined that the DEC is not consistently enforcing the rules of the governing body. The change is significant since all appeals that a school brings, starts and usually ends with the DEC. That includes the determination of transfer student eligibility. It is believed that with the implementation of this change, schools in a UIL district will be less likely to face retribution from the DEC chair and other members. The policy changes will go into effect, Aug. 1, 2025 This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  
    • I was hoping WOS was going to win. To get another chance to redeem ourself. Silsbee did not look good in that game and has not played consistent during the season. Hopefully against La Vega they will play 4quarters of football
