The arrogance of the power elite at ULM is inexplainable. That bunch expects a significant percentage of one of the poorest areas in the United States to pay what is asked, and increasing, for a football ticket. But that is not enough. Add another $10 to rent a slab of broken blacktop or concrete for 3-to-4 hours. Plus, there are outrageous prices on concessions and facilities are unclean. Not going to happen.
Consider the following:
Ouachita Parish
Median income: $37,754
Per capita income: $21,770
Percentage of population in poverty: 23.0
Monroe
Median income: $28,268
Per capita income: $20,859
Percentage of population in poverty: 34.4
