You don't think 2nd level suites would sell? I want to know who the hell buys those suites on the roof?Quote:

If you've experienced club seating at sporting events, it can spoil you.
Clean restrooms, better dining, great sight lines, and networking opportunities.
Folk will pay for an exclusive experience. Everyone wants to be part of the club. Cajun Club Level Seating.....I like it.
The dome 1) doesn’t have the annual volume to support such a venture and 2) structurally would kill available seating to regular folks, especially at concerts. That’s the dome’s moneymakers.Quote:

Fair, but my other points still stand. Other than it being at night, you can’t create more of a perfect storm than that.Quote:

However I do think 2nd level suites would sell — especially for concerts. And especially if they were set up like other suites and had stadium seating in front.
I think the Table Room is/was the Cajundome’s attempt at premium seating. I remember getting an email offering a yearly membership to get access for all events but I’m not sure if that idea was abandoned.Quote:

Throw away the last 2 years of attendance @ CF. Unfortunately, it coincided with our 2 best years in Football. While we are at it, let's make CF 10K, that way it looks full, and many of you can be happy. Low attendance is the end result of many factors before the game even takes place. Fix those things first.
We can't get fans in the seats and we are talking about needing nicer suites. Geez.Quote:

Back to realignment talk, I'm seeing Big 12 is looking to add Arizona, Arizona state, colorado, and Utah.
With these 4 going to Big 12, and USC and UCLA going Big 10, I'd look for Oregon to also join Big 10. That would kill Pac 12 with only Oregon state, Cal-Berkley, Stanford, Washington, Washington state left standing
Do the Cajuns need to be in the Big 12 in the future?Quote:

I think that ship has sailed.
The PAC 12 won’t die. Whoever is left will pick apart the Mountain West.Quote:

Edit: of course the funnest scenario is that the Mountain West decides to take UTEP and NMSU. That would probably make MT and WKU bite the bullet and go to the MAC. And that would leave La Tech stuck in a conference with FIU, Jacksonville State, Liberty and Sam Houston. :-)
Correct, it won't "die" but it is the end of it being a "P5" conference. It's no coincidence that pac-12 is getting raided, it will become 4 major conferencesQuote:

If that is the only teams they bringing in then they will be raided by the big 12…. Those two schools don’t move the needle…. Pac 12 is done for if they can’t poach a big 12 school or 2..Quote:

Dr. Maggard made it very clear,....our program will not operate in a continuous deficit.
Not sure if he or T-Joe made this decision, but it signals we are going to be a G5 program for the foreseeable future. I would rather walk into the darkness of the AAC or potentially the Big 12, but I don't balance the books.
With our recent success and Maggard's connections, one would think we could get to a larger conference if our leadership really wanted to.
One would speculate, this is why Cajun Field talks have haulted. No one wants to invest big dollars into SBC programs. Makes no sense to upgrade if we remain in the SBC. Ride the current version Cajun Field until the wheels fall off.
With all due respect this is an awful take. The SBC has become an absolute fantastic conference. One worth investing in! I don’t even know where to begin with that one.Quote:

Agreed… if we aren’t trying to make our facilities better then we are falling behind…. Gotta invest in a stadium with the ideal size, but the ability to expand if needed. We have to get this right are we fall into the dust bin of history.Quote:
