Gates to the Swamp ( SwampGate Project )

[DaddyCajun]

First I want to thank "ALL" that contributed to the Swamp Gate Project, many will thank you for years to come!!

The project cost went up drasticly and the $7,000+ raised on RaginPagin, Delphi, Alumni(hat pass), and SGA is simply not enough. However the Bricks, Granit, Circle Logos have ALL been donated to reduce the overall cost.

What we need now is Three things:

1) Labor to tear down the old huricane fences
2) A brick layer that will build the collumns for trade in tickets(or raise the money to pay them)
3) More money to pay for the iron work


Please post any suggestions as I am tapped, two donors that were going to put money to the gateway put their money in recruiting.


Daddy Cajun counting on "U" as you are "LOUISIANA"


ps I as well as many of us would like to complete this prior to the New Orleans Bowl and it is coming fast.

pss If someone would post this on the Delphi board for me I would appreciate as I can't seem to get DaddyCajuns pass word to get back on the site to post, THANKS.

I will need some FREE labor, just do not know when and how much just yet. I know I can count on you CajunJudo!!!!

I know there are others out there and some have private messaged me, so as soon as I know I will let all know.

Just trying to help us raise more recruiting money and put our best foot forward for the New Orleans Bowl!!!!!!

I don't know if you have looked into this or not but...

...the gates don't have to be iron. I am starting to notice more and more people use gates made out of Aluminum. They look the same and cost alot less. In the end it could dramatically cut down on the costs.

The gates on the "Student Side" will be of the same material as Baseball, Softball and Tennis! In fact the WHOLE COMPLEX will be of this material eventually(Aluminum)!!

Thanks for the reply and I hope we can count on your help!

I'm not trying to be critical, but in order to put our best foot forward, the letters forming CAJUN FIELD need to be replaced or removed. IMO unless a more professional font is used, they need to be removed.

AAA Signs has taken care of that in the past, and being that this was due to the Hurricane, insurance may be involved and cause some delay. Hopefully like the sign out front of the Cajun Athletic Complex(which was damaged/now fixed) the letters on Cajun Field will be replaced prior!!

Good point!

Hope to be able to count on you and any of your friends for either labor/money on the Swamp Gate Project.

Cool, just wanted to make sure you weren't going to pay an arm and a leg for something that could only cost an arm.

Here is hoping for one final push! We have all(most of us) donated to a project "WE" termed the Swamp Gate Project. Gerald is doing a yomans job working with the "MANY" projects he has and will do for the Louisiana Sports Complex. I took on this project SEVERAL years ago to try and complete Cajun Fields gateways and HELP Gerald with ONE project. Cajun Field looks unfinished as half of the entrances are new and beautiful and the other half used primarily by students and walk up ticket sales for both the Visitors and Cajun fans.

Please put a bug is Geralds ear, to use the money that was ear marked for the Swamp Gate or get with us to put it on some project we can ALL agree on. Gerald is a great man, but I KNOW this project has been put on the back burners for some time now. If Gerald can get someone to do the brick work for the gates around the Complex then why not have them complete the Swamp Gates.

1) The Bricks are donated
2) The Circle disc are donated
3) The Marble Capping are donated
4) $7,000+ dollars have been donated to the cause by you good people
5) More money is needed for a) labor to build them(could be donated) and b) Buy the Gates.

Thanks for all you do and will do,
DaddyCajun

ps Call Gerald and tell him you want this project DONE!!!

I am looking into getting the material for the gates direct from the factoy and save some big money. Quick story, I needed a new shredder as my "Fellows" Brand shredder had gone out within 2yrs again. So I called Fellows and got online at the same time(good eh!) I asked what level shredder I had, they replied, light duty. I wanted to upgrade so they did so since I was a Fellows customer and I was able to get a shredder that retails for $300 for $50 straight from the factory!! Maybe we could do something like this with the fence!!!
