I was as well but then I got some second hand information yesterday. I guess we will see soon enough

I heard what you heard.

Drop that blob at the 50yd line. Since the stacked logo b.s. isn't going away anytime soon, I propose a straight up huge state of Louisiana silhouette at midfield and thats it. Color it simply darker than the turf. Better yet, see if there is a type of material which can interact with the new L.E.D. lighting. Sounds like a big cost but in reality it wouldnt be if new matrix turf is being constructed. The stacked logo at the 50 is about as cool as the field goal being planted 10 yards inward at the goal line. I to this day still can not believe they actually did that (FG at the goal line back in the day and that stacked blob logo at the 50.) SMH.

Will that mean a different PA guy?

I was told one will be installed between now and when the East side is completed.

You’re dreaming the student union and restaurant part.

So true. Being a little OCD that asymmetry drives me nuts. I say take them down and landscape the front.

And the East side will begin when? Any conceptual drawings for this? Does UL have the money?

You've laid out why we should be concerned. When does the state allocate money for the East side? The state budget could be severely impacted by federal cuts. Federal funds provided $21.4 billion of the $42.1 billion Louisiana state budget in fiscal 2024. https://www.katc.com/news/covering-l...fect-louisiana My worry is we're looking at a half renovated Cajun Field for years to come.

The "bullseye on Medicaid" is about stopping fraud not taking it away from those who qualify for it.

Just as an FYI, the new multi-colored lights have been installed and tested.
Going to be a great light show this year.

Yep, people continue to put out misinformation.

"Over the course of 18 months, Georgia spent $26 million the administrative costs of enforcing the work policy."
2 million of which went to pay claims. Party of small govt my qwaw
