They're still at the printer along with the 2021 banner....

Would be an incredible marketing campaign. Which means there is zero chance of it happening.
Re: First and last games at old Cajun Field
I was there for the first game at Cajun Field and actually still have the game program. I also hope to be there for the last game on the 25th.

That’s a very cool thing to do! I was in HS just down the street when it opened. Went to games prior to starting USL in 74. Honestly say I can’t recall if I made games the inaugural year. Won’t make this final game but already told the wife we’re going next year and definitely the following year to enjoy the new digs.
Re: First and last games at old Cajun Field
I think I was there for the first game. My first year at USL was the fall of 1972. If so I was playing in the band. I remember that the crown in the field as not uniform and it made the footing very "tricky" for us and football players. If you are wondering about why there is a pipe across the top of the tunnel on the field side it's because somebody designed a retaining wall and didn't know what they were doing. Just saying.

. . . flask of wild turkey was definitely the ticket in the late 70’s early 80’s . . .

Hah we always slipped it down Mike McGoffins tuba. All we had to do was turn it upside down and viola. Bourbon.

Since I’ve only been up there once in 20+ years of going to every home game
