Another record crowd expected when Southern returns to Cajun Field


LAFAYETTE — Even with all of the buildup and the record crowd that turned out for Louisiana-Lafayette’s 2009 season opener, the first meeting with Southern’s Jaguars had simple roots.
In fact, it started with a “cold call” from then-Ragin’ Cajuns Athletic Director David Walker to Jaguar AD (and Lafayette native) Greg LaFleur.
“We talked about how we’d never played,” Walker said. “We’re 50 miles away. It was time.”
Just over a year later, the teams drew a Cajun Field record 41,357 for the Sept. 5 opener, a total that topped even the memorable 1996 Texas A&M game when 38,783 watched the Cajuns pull off a 29-22 upset.

Kudos to Southern for traveling well. It's a pretty sad commentary on USL when their best attended games have been against FCS squads, though! So much for a clear separation between the Slum Belch and the FCS ;)

Unfortunately, with the frog strangler going on around here today that attendance record will probably not be broken tonight.

That's what I'm hearing. Either way they've already sold the tickets and made a killing

Any New Orleans or BR stations carrying the ULL/SU game to watch locally?

Watching "the other" SDSU play NAU isn't a thrilling as I'd hoped. Altho LSU/Wis is going on most Louisiana TV's.
