$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?

      Waco La Vega (42) vs West Orange-Stark (20) - FINAL

      By WOSdrummer99 · Posted

      Well Mustang fans it's time for my annual end of season rant. I've had so much company up here on the soapbox that I may have to start charging rent. After 3 years I don't think anything needs to be said. We all know what's wrong. We all know why. So what's the decision at the next board meeting? IMO, there's been enough imaginary success for the board to rubber stamp the Superintendent's vision for our future student athletes. #make every second count Due to soft scheduling and a weaker than normal district. The luck of knocking off 2 ranked opponents early when they were not healthy or still trying to figure it out. Also led to a premature ranking and a hollow DCTF weekly award. The 2 late season losses vs ranked teams proves what we know has been the biggest problem.  Football 19-15 .559 Baseball 9-35 .205 Basketball 19-35 .352 GBB 11-29 .275 Softball 1-22 .043 Volleyball 0-38 .000 Overall 59-174 .253   For anyone living in the district, I ask that you contact you're elected board members publicly and privately. Don't let them think this is exceptable. Be the solution to the equation. Not the divisor. This starts at the top and falls heavily upon those walking the halls. They deserve better.

      Barbers Hill (28) vs La Porte (55) - FINAL

      By OlDawg · Posted

      Sounds like a good idea, and something’s been needed for a long time. I know—where my kids & grandkids live now (DFW area)—schools are like revolving doors for athletic purposes. I don’t think the DPISD & LPISD option enrollment are anywhere like that. I assume it’s pretty above board since it was an arrangement apparently agreed to also by the state. I do know some kids that went to LPISD elementary schools in DP chose to go to DPHS because of the district rating. (Of course, at the time, DPISD and DP in general wasn’t very racially mixed like La Porte.) LPISD has a high number of kids on assistance programs compared to DP. Say what you will, it does make it more difficult for educational purposes and scores can reflect as much. LPISD is still rated high even with that challenge. Some of the kids that chose DPHS were very solid athletes that I’m sure LP would love to have had attend LPHS. Of course, part of the big rivalry between DP & LP has always been because DP ‘looked down’ on LP even though we worked side-by-side. Now that Shell DP refinery has been sold to PEMEX, DP is changing. Some aren’t happy about it. Some of us in LP are kinda tickled about it after the history.
