This will also whet the appetite of the fans for what is coming on the west side. After all this time, it’s good to see our future donors being taken care of before spending millions while they would of been sitting in 1970’s surroundings.Quote:

Oh, with all due (well earned) respect to TDP, by the time Maggard is finished it will not be even close as to who was the best hire. We are only seeing the beginning of the great things that will be happening in Cajun Nation. And they will almost all be due to his leadership. Of course, none of that will have happened without Dr. Savoie, so there’s that as well.Quote:

ps be careful ;) on the throwback pics though, fans have had a few years to analyze the situation.
Hope they replace that piece meal window unit with a mini split. Ranks right up there with Tech’s gone with the wind ticket booth.Quote:

Excellent decision to add this to the student side. I have always said, since my first game as a student was the 2014 Southern game, that in order for UL to truly be a great atmosphere they need to somehow, someway, dominate student attendance.
This will greatly help and there is no doubt. Those August and September games get brutally hot and most people want to leave halfway through the game due to the heat. I, myself, did that during the 2016 Boise State game. It also didn't help we were losing 28-0 after the 1st quarter in 100 degree heat. This will give them some place to cool down which is much needed.
I drove by Cajun Field on Friday to see if they were working on this and they were not. Basically what Frenchie showed was the same. I can't wait to see a finished version of this. I really think it will add to the look of CF and it is also going to be very nice for those on that side during the heat and rain. Good move by the administration.
I'll say it again, I hope the cover extends to the light posts otherwise there's not enough room for rain cover when that side is 50+% full.
It's not being made to house 100% of the stadium from rain/heat. It's to cover the lines for concessions and restrooms, for aestetics and provide some relief spots for those wanting it. If the goal was to cover 100% capacity we would need a dome.
Need to cut off the support posts that were set up years ago for an upper deck. It appears to serve no purpose at this point other than provide an unfinished look.Quote:
