Is that a construction cam?

It could be an optical illusion, or I'm just looking at it wrong but it seems like the 1980's addition was designed for a steeper grade and wasn't fully considering the bowl aspect.

The original Cajun Field sat 26,000. Early 80's they added the two wings on the lower student section on each end. That brought the capacity to 31,000. You can see the additions if you look at the student side. That makes the section on the new end zone bigger on the home side to meet up with the existing seating.

You are partially correct. The original "seating capacity" was 24,000 (I think the exact number was 24,640). Later, they re-numbered the bench seats closer together and the the same configuration now "seated" 26,000.

As you mentioned, the expansion in the 80s to 31,000 was necessary to stay in 1-A because as an independent we had to have 30,000 minimum.

That was about the time I saw Boomer sneaking into the construction sight on Wednesday. No telling what kind of damage he did. The Ricks did not accompany him, so they are in the clear.

Why is our camera a 15 second picture instead of a constant view?

-----Hey Helmut, Frenchie, or others---What is a good price for the penalty if the company doesn't deliver the project on time---I know that this was very important to the final negotiations----but was/is it a percentage or total time not delivered or what---I am sure that the penalty would be a sizable amount----In fact wasn't the Softball deal late and additions were made in lieu of a cash settlement---Is this correct???

[Frenchie35]

I have no idea what the penalties are for not being on time for the completion on this project. I am sure they have rain delays in the contract. But looking at the progress they are making on this project and what needs to be done, it same to me that it will take every day on the contract calendar to complete this job. As of today they have 115 days left if Aug. 30 is the hand over the key day.......As far as softball goes, it took almost three years to complete. The penalty there was the new club house I think......They weren't suppose to get rid of the old club house but I think the contractor threw the new one in for being late.....not sure but that is what I heard.....
