I remember and that was the point I was trying to make. At no point have we had the money on hand for any phase. We've borrowed to get things done. It was my understanding from previous comments that any project outside of Tier 1 could be green lighted if 50% was raised. Bonds would likely be issued to cover the remainder to fund that particular project 100%.

In the words of Kevin Foote, " No matter how flat a pancake, there is always another side to it!"

So I haven't read through this whole thing. We still renovating the Tigue?

The UL governing board may vote as early as Thursday to name the baseball complex for a Lafayette oil business family.

Would it be named "M.L. Tigue Moore Field at Russo Park"?? Hopefully we are not fully dropping the Tigue from the name.....

One time money veins; Field, Park, Stadium.

It's gotta be that. First, I believe it would take the UL Board to strip the name. Second, there is still money coming into the program from Tigue's estate, and in the future there will be a nice chunk added to it (it's committed elsewhere for a few years).

And third, it would be like 'The Horse Farm'. You can name it whatever you want, it will always be 'The Tigue'.

While this will always be true for us, it will eventually die off with us unless the name stays in some capacity.

Rip the band aid off...Laguna Oil Tools Park.

ML Tigue Moore/Russo Park or Moore/Russo Park or Moore/Russo Stadium or The Tigue at Russo Park.

ML Tigue Moore Field at Russo Park
