It's a good time to be a fan of Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns. Three straight 9-win seasons. Three straight New Orleans Bowl victories. Expectations for another fine season topped with what will hopefully be a second straight Sun Belt Conference championship.

And record-setting numbers at the ticket box office!

With the excitement building off the past three years, our fans have come out in full force.

With three weeks till the season opener against Southern on Aug. 30, UL Lafayette has announced that some 12,276 season tickets have been purchased. That eclipses the then-record set last year of 11,833.

"With the excitement building off the past three years, our fans have come out in full force," UL Ticket Manager Matt Casbon said. "Those fans that have been here a long time have really continued their support, and our hat goes off to them for increasing their season ticket purchases.

"With the new fan base that we're receiving, we can't thank them enough for joining our team and allowing us to break the season ticket record for a fourth straight year," Casbon said.

If you don't have your season tickets, worry not: plenty of good seats remain for the 2014 season.

Season ticket packages start as low as $110 for the six-game home slate that features dates against in-state opponents Southern (Aug. 30) and Louisiana Tech (Sept. 6), plus Sun Belt Conference games against Georgia State (Oct. 4), Arkansas State (Oct. 21), South Alabama (Nov. 1) and Appalachian State (Nov. 22).
