You have to admit, this is hyperbolic speculation?

Turbine, as a historian of the athletic program, you are invaluable and when arguing with other folks about the reality of our program, I cite you with great frequency.

But sometimes your reliance on hyperbole sells you short.

Upon further reflection the percentage is much higher, but dismally low by most standards.

It begins and ends with UL students. You build a fan base and donor base with current students.

We do a poor job of doing that.

On this topic I would guess 85% dont know of potential changes.

What’s going to happen when they eliminate the upper deck and you can just see the press box and suites from congress? You still won’t see the lower deck with the hill. Will 98% think cajun field is just a press box and luxury suites?

The paradigm shifts.

A huge upperdeck is misleading... (unless your focus is goal posts)

Suites and several rows leads one to conclude there is more.

. . . only 1% will believe there is something else there . . .

I see no way people will see that upper deck, with the press box, across the field from that wall, with all those numbers and names of retired players next to them, will ever think there are seats below, but once the press box is built all fancy with fancy suites they will then and only then start to assume that seats are below? Got you.

According to some sources here, there will also be a new structure on the east side. The uninformed passerbys will be thrown for a loop
