A great example of pricing something beyond the demand is RV spots. We went from having a waiting list of 35 plus... then started raising the price to where now we have around 55 unsold spots. $2,200 for RV sites is obviously more than the demand. I kept mine... but waaay too many folks decided it wasn't worth it.

sounds nice but in reality it is not feasible. We have roughly 1000 RCAF members, we don't have 1000 tailgate spots within the fences of Cajun Field.

$200 is nothing to pay for tailgating. Drive around Lafayette on a Friday or Saturday night and see every eating establishment is full. People have no problem dropping $100 on dinner for 2.

First claim dibs.

Flood the Basin, Fill the Basin.

Just include it as a perk of RCAF level membership.

Why the tack on compilation complication?

Basically, the tailgating spot is costing me $200 since my RCAF fees are part of my various season ticket costs.

I gave up trying to provide factual info here. It's crazy all the misinformation. As you have noted your various season tickets contribute towards your RCAF status.

[Cajunfever]

Do you currently have a spot? Or are you just posting that?

the RCAF fees are steep. Especially for the product on the field.

Why does it matter if I have a spot? I am posting what the cost is which is factual compared to some of the comments in this tread.

For your information, yes, I have a spot. I also have a suite. I also have 4 courtside tickets for basketball which require $8K RCAF donation. Basically, the tailgating spot is costing me $200 since my RCAF fees are part of my various season ticket costs.

Lots of wrong numbers being thrown out regarding cost of tailgating.
The per spot cost is $200. The location will determine what is the minimum RCAF contribution. If you want a spot in TG5, it will cost you a total of $450--that is $75 per game total which includes you RCAF fee.

LOL

I wish, but it doesn't squash constructive ideas.

Frazier is on this board! He goes under the name of “Turbine”

[Turbine]

Any news from Frazier?

[UL_Cajuns]

They can't stop you from hanging out in the free parking area on your tailgate. That is my tailgate. literally.

[Turbine]

Nothing should be free.

Nothing.

Tailgating should be langiappe.

Langiappe to what is not free.

That should be the cULture

[RedTails]

Nothing should be free, but it doesn't seem like admin and fans alike have come to the realization that UL sports are competing with countless entertainment options, young families wrapped up in what youth sports have become (financial cost and time cost), and $450 70" TVs in the comfort of their homes.

Mix in NIL & transfer portal impact to college sports and sometimes it is hard to leave the house when you have a free Saturday.

[crazycajun]

I got 2 spots and I think my total was 500 for the year.

Not if you include required RCAF donation.
