Anyone have any news as to what is in place to be done or has already been done? I've heard paint, turf, expanding boxes, etc etc but what looks to be a reality?

I've gotten some information from two different reliable sources at different times with the same info. I'm not sure about the football stadium. However, Baseball has plans to tear down the stadium after this season and build a two-story stadium with seating around 15 thousand. ;) It will have luxury sweets and big press box. Two new locker rooms and weight training facility. Supposedly, they recieved some private donations up to 20 million to complete the project. But the brand new stadium will be ready for first pitch next season!! I can't wait for this. Baseball at the tigue will get a huge face lift and we will be among the nations elite in facilities.
Another thing, imagine what this will do for recruiting... big time recruits will already be impressed by UL baseball success in the past.. and now they will have five star facilities and field to play on. This will be huge for baseball, UL in general, and all of the long time fans that go out to the tigue every game rain or shine. I can't wait!
April 29th... UL vs. LSU... be there.
I love it!
When do tix go on sale for the LSU game?
I also heard about the Basball stadium renovations, and it was from a reliable source. They will also be redoing the field, as it has drainage problems and slopes off in the back. In addition, this season when the Cajuns hit a home run, there will be fireworks! Nice!
As for the football stadium, I have only heard that they are going to start installing turf at the beginning of February. Someone said there will be a rebuilding of the pressbox in '09, but I haven't heard anything else.
are you sure? that is a HUGE stadium. you must have typoedQuote:

Exactly what I heard was.. somewhere from 13-15 thousand. And you are right, it is huge. But if you look at stadiums around the country that is becoming the "norm" and schools everywhere have been updating there stadiums recently. Also, another reason for high seating capacity.. you can be sure that the NCAA will NEVER overlook UL as a regional host again. If they have the credentials in the future.. you can bet on it that there will be a regional here.Quote:

Go Cajuns!
April 29th...
