Football Grabs Top Attendance Increase in NCAA

The Ragin' Cajuns football team added yet another honor to its list on Tuesday as the NCAA announced that the University of Louisiana had the top attendance increase for the 2011 season.

“This honor is just a testament to the great fans we have here at UL,” head football coach Mark Hudspeth said. “I appreciate our fans accepting my challenge to pack Cajun Field and make it a great place to play. Even though we had the top increase in attendance last year, I think its only going to get better next year.”

The Cajuns had an average increase of 11,788 per game setting both the Sun Belt Conference average and total attendance record and the UL average attendance record.

UL beat out Arizona State, Stanford, Iowa State, Temple, Florida State and Oklahoma State for the top honor.

Fans can reserve season tickets for the 2012 season at either the M.L. “Tigue” Moore Field box office, the Cajundome box office or by calling (337) 851-2011. The “Tigue” Moore Field Box office is open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m., while the Cajundome Box Office is open Monday-Friday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

The Cajuns open spring practice on Feb. 28 and are slated to conclude spring practice with the annual spring game the weekend of March 30-31.
