New Softball Facility Coming

[cajun4life]

_ The key words here are "Process should begin shortly". Is hiring an architect part of the process? Does this "idea" have to be approved, then they will hire an architect and an engineer? Has an architect and an engineer been hired? Then after months of consulting, the bids will go out? OMG, it will be 2013 before softball sees a new stadium. _

All of the planning and hiring has been completed. We are waiting for approval and once we gain the approval construction will begin. Softball's improvements will be in place before the start of the 2010 season.

Oh, Boy! Want to take a wager on that completion date? I smell a bundle! The 2010 starts in early February! Approximately 170 days away. Are you sure????? When did the bids go out?

What I was told by an administrator and a coach was that the outfiel bleachers and down the lines would definitely be ready so that "IF" the Grand stand area was not totally ready the fans would still have seating.

This is VERY exciting to me!!!!!!!!

Good deal, buy my two box seats and sit in bleachers. Does anyone think that it will not be approved? And if it is why don't they put out the plans. And if the so call planning and hiring is completed that cost money. So if they say you can't build that's money down the drain......

Definitely! No way will the stadium be completed by February 2010 which is the start of the softball season! Unfortunately, I win!

You forget, today, it is exactly 169 days from the first game. That includes work days and Saturdays and Sundays. I am confident in my wager. I win!

The vote on the approval is next week on the project. UL has been given assurances that they will be apporved. If you win, then the softball program loses. We should be thankful that some people have stepped up with funding,IMO.

Unless weather prevents the constuction crews from working, the entire project should be completed before the end of the upcoming season. It will deffinately be completed by the 2011 season. Is that a better timeline for your? I think they will be completed no later than mid season.

These are new days for the CAJUNS! We are finally able to make plans and implement them, improving our facilities!

There is a very good chance the grandstands will not be completed for the first pitch of the season. Would you rather they wait until the end of the upcoming season to begin work to have the necessary amount of time to complete the project, or, would you rather they begin the work as soon as they gain approval (August 26th I believe) in order to have it completed during the upcoming season?

I think they chose the wisest route and even though the grandstands may not be completed until the first month of the season, the wait will be worth it.

It is time to turn our energy into positive energy and embrace the changes that are coming!

Go Cajuns!
