Just to make it interesting you may only pick one, but post what your top 5 in order!
I will post mine after I make the poll.
- Pressure washing and sealing Cajun Field.
- Put the "C" back in Cajun Field.
- Improvements to Tigue Moore Field
- Improvements to the Softball Complex.
- Build a covering of some sort for the student side of Cajun Field.
1) Finish makeover of football field (wash, paint, etc.)
2) New Baseball Facility
3) New Softball Facility
4) Bulldoze Blackham and build a new basketball arena
5) Tell he Cajundome to f&^$ off.
I really didn't have a 5th one, but I guess it fits. Maybe Michael can donate a university golf course when he makes it to Tiger status!!

1. Finish stadium improvements, field, washing/cleaning
2. Baseball/Softball improvements (whatever is decided)
3. RCAF (so we can raise money for future improvements like....)
4. Parking garage on student side of football stadium
5. Sky boxes on student side of football stadium
Do you listen to Rush Limbaugh?Quote:

3) Pressure wash the stadium as it would really look bad if it had not been done yet
4) Remodel Baseball and Softball I really love both complexes or build new baseball and remodel baseball for soft ball whatever is best for our TWO best programs
5) Start the Cajun Athletic Foundation without increased revenues and organized fund raising we wont get where we need to get fast enough
1. Athletic Foundation - money is needed to make any of the other items a reality.
2. Renovate athletic dorms - recruits want to see that they ar egoing to have good accomadations.
3. Improved training table - recruits want to see that they are gong to be fed well and it also insures that they have the extra nutrition they need to perform.
4. Academic Center - resources to help student athletes gain and maintain eligibility.
5. Athletic Center with lounge / recreation facilites for athletes - recruits are swayed by these amenitites.
All of the above will help in the recruiting wars. Winning the recruiting wars helps you win on the field. After that we can worry about improving stadiums for the fans' comfort.

That situation is one advantage ULM has over us as some of their commitments have commented positively on that situation. Improving day to day living conditions for athletes will do more to improve recruiting than anything else.
1. Pressure wash & seal stadium (and replace "C")
2. Cajun Athletic Foundation(CAF)
3. Build New baseball and remodel baseball for softball
4. South endzone multi story building
5. Finish off grassy area of stadium seating
6. Sky boxes on the student side
I am going to go ahead and list six but to be honest the last two or three aren't of great importance. If we pressure wash that stadium it will look like new and would be a pretty attractive arena. Needless to say I am highly in favor of making the Swamp into a horseshoe and adding Sky boxes to the student side. This would help generate more money for the program.
Is it just me or should the "C" have been replaced a long time ago?

Whatever maintenance stuff needs to be done around Cajun Field that have been mentioned earlier (pressure wash, replace the C, upkeep on the grassy hills), but in terms of big athletic projects, I'd like to build new baseball/remodel for softball from what's on the list.
The BIGGEST project we could undertake that would be most beneficial would be a lot of new dorms, and not just for athletics. I mean, build athletic dorms too. If we had nicer dorms we probably could have ended up signing Damaris Johnson and other upper-tier athletes. But the dorms in general on campus are terrible. I stayed in Bancroft for one semester and they condemned it the next semester. We badly need new dorms on campus.

I am with Hammer.

I believe I read a few years ago that that how Mississippi State maintains their facililities. Of course, that was before the mega bucks that the SEC now brings to its member schools.
You're right. Volunteers doing the mowing and trimming is ridiculous. Lets have a cake sale so we can pay the freaking coaches.
1. Hire a good coaching staff.
2. Same as # 1
3. Same as 1 & 2
4. Same as 1-3
5. same as 1-4
