FB/BB Stadium Projects

[AstroCajun]

I don't think that its all lies...but i think that there might have been some embellishments. I read yesterday that there was a single $20 million donation, a $10 Million donation, and a $5 million donation. I've read that massive changes will be made, some changes will be made, and that the whole thing will be torn down. I've read that the new stadium would hold 15k, 8k, or 5k.

all in all, I think its safe to say that something may be happening soon, and I think that such an announcement, according to all of the secrecy of what's going on at the recruiting bash, might happen at the Recruiting Bash.

Ok, I've read through all of this and I still can't help the feeling that I'm Charlie Brown

and someone's going to pull the #*@& ball away. Again.

_ 2009 will be "Sweet"

(can we revive that thread???) _

If most of this is true, I would bet this renovation/upgrade of The Tigue cannot be completed in eight months. Get real!

As long as Descant const.(go fighting tigers) isnt involved, maybe it can be done in 8 mths???

_ I've gotten some information from two different reliable sources at different times with the same info. I'm not sure about the football stadium. However, Baseball has plans to tear down the stadium after this season and build a two-story stadium with seating around 15 thousand. It will have luxury sweets and big press box. Two new locker rooms and weight training facility. Supposedly, they recieved some private donations up to 20 million to complete the project. But the brand new stadium will be ready for first pitch next season!! I can't wait for this. Baseball at the tigue will get a huge face lift and we will be among the nations elite in facilities.

Another thing, imagine what this will do for recruiting... big time recruits will already be impressed by UL baseball success in the past.. and now they will have five star facilities and field to play on. This will be huge for baseball, UL in general, and all of the long time fans that go out to the tigue every game rain or shine. I can't wait!

April 29th... UL vs. LSU... be there. _

The renovation to the baseball stadium is close and should begin, after the season ends! The dollar amount is 4-5 million dollars and no more for the renovation project! There is a new field (turf) in the making possibly and the purchase would be combined with the new field turf for the football field renovation! Th renovation would include a total field revampng, press box, concessions, lights, sky box, stadium club and seating to be done all at one time!
The strength and conditioning dept. has received full authority for the new equipment and floor which is being constructed at this time! The floor and new equipment should be in place by end of May! When this is done U L will be only one of two universities with this unique set up for trainging it's athletes with the new floor and equipment in place! In lieu of this package, there is still a plan for a 40 per cent expansion for the strength and conditioning facilities in the future.

No CDSU contractors? Is there not a state law against that?

This sounds more legitimate. thanks ULvictory

No offense, but your sources are not reliable.

There will be no 15000 seat facility.

And, the amount of money to be spent has yet to be determined.

No offense, but stating that someone's sources are not reliable just rubs me the wrong way. Especially when I did not see you even telling us there would be such a project... Maybe the seat count is in error, or confused with the plan for the football stadium, do you know? If so, speak up!

Additionally, the comment about money places you in the Frank Burns hall of fame. Of course the amount of money is TBD, it's always TBD, it's never not TBD, until the fat lady sings, and keys to the doors are handed over to the athletic dept. He did not say what they were spending, he estimated what had been donated towards such projects.

Sorry if I offended you, 'roll.

When someone posts here that they have something from "reliable sources", it gives fans carte blanche to accept the information as fact.

Fact is, when the announcement is made and it isn't even close to what's posted, fans will be disappointed.

As of right now, there is no $20m raised to improve the baseball facility. UL Victory's post is much more accurate.

ANd, you're right, I didn't post a bunch of facts here. I choose not to do that on a public internet message board.

What about a private internet message board???? See you on Delphi in a few minutes????

If not, how about you give us a timetable as to when something like this would be announced, and/or why it hasn't been announced yet. Are these the types of things that may be referenced at the recruiting bash? Is that what they're waiting for?
