Ready for a complaint....This is ridiculous! We have to go out and find pictures of designs. One of our fellow RPers goes out weekly to take pictures to share with everyone. Those in the "know" share what they can with everyone. Why do we have to go through so much effort? Why can't the university/athletics department share more with the public? Reddot found a picture, somewhere public I would guess, to share with everyone.
This will rub some the wrong way and I don't care. The university 50 miles down the road sends out a tweet once a week to the public inviting them to go to the web-site to see the latest photos of the renovations. There is no need to have a "Frenchie" fan go out there and take pictures. They have someone from LSU go and take 20+ pictures. Also, the AD sends out e-mails to the masses once a month updating the fan base on the latest with LSU athletics. To everyone! I am not saying that UL should be doing everything like LSU, but come on. Give us more!
If there are members of the administration/athletics on RP, come on man! Want us to be more connected with the university? Want more people to decide to buy season tickets? We have great momentum after softball and baseball. Let's not lose this! Keep us engaged. It's harder to keep a customer than to find a new one. Don't lose us!
Those lights are to make sure the entire stadium isn't gutted and sold for scrap in that neighborhood.Quote:

Found the picture looking for something else. Nice surprise.
There are pictures posted weekly all over facebook by the university.Quote:

All in all, it's well done. It's not a novel, but it provides relevant info.Quote:

And I think Facebook and Twitter are perfect outlets to post pictures from construction this day in age. Not only are they easily accessible through albums all in one place. But most people (maybe not much of the older generation) are already on there. That is where new and future alumni (the new season ticket buyers you mention) get there info from these days. That's how you reach the masses. Hud for sure embraces it.
Frenchie does a great job with his pictures. He can listen to individual ideas of what we, here, want to see, and showcase that. The University will take more general pictures to show the larger changes, and I am fine with that.
And I could give two s**** what that school down the road does.
Brad Kemp posts updated pics all the time on twitter as well.Quote:

Don't you understand how expensive tweets are!!!!!Quote:

I hope you were kidding around, as the property around Tulane University is some of the most expensive property in the area.Quote:

---Well that is true on 3 sides but Claiborne avenue is not the most desirable parking area for sure----And this area will tried as a parking area---People say they want to go back to the old days---but the # of cars now is overwhelming!!!Quote:

Hopefully this is true in regards to our addidas unis. Yeah I went there.Quote:

---Thanks you bring such truth to the misconceptions of others ----Good or bad your knowledge is very much appreciated as we add so many new construction projects---I am just thinking about walking on campus from the back and seeing the 2 old dorms and the maintenance buildings gone ---- try to avoid the Fletcher building but look at the beautiful dorms in the back----see the new parking garage going up---watching the Quad come into reality---visualize the look from the Blvd. to Cypress Lake and the Union when those 2 eyesores are history---Go past the massive union---See the massive set of new housing in the front---This along with the clean building looks that were so lacking will be great for recruiting---Oh and I forgot Burke and how pretty it is!!! And I haven't even gotten to the new bike path to see what's cooking at the Athletic Campus---Just a HUge WOW!!!Quote:
