Construction Cam APC ( Athletic Performance Complex )

[LaCajunsFan]

The pictures do not do it justice, it makes it look small. I wasn't able to get good angles because I had to keep up with the rest of people taking the tour. When you enter you will have things from Jake, Brian, Peanut, Ike and other NFL players. It sounded like all have already donated items for the lobby.

so are there public tours, and how did you get one? wonder if being an rcaf member would help. thx

I happen to be around someone that was going on a tour and they invited me. I pretty sure you can call and they will allow you to go when they are giving another tour.

Cool deal. I will try this weekend and give a report either way.

Where will the AC unit be located for this building? I guess it will be one of the giant sized a/c's.

That big warehouse / storage building / oilfield shop looking thing is that is connected to the indoor practice? It looks like something that should be on Hwy 90 between Lafayette and New Iberia not on a college campus. Aren't they going to build new athletic facilities somewhere near that big warehouse storage facility?


Since my post got consolidated with this one I will assume that warehouse is what they are calling athletic facilities. It sure is ugly when driving down CD Blvd.

We decided to spend the money on things that truly benefits the student athletes. Unlike LTUR who is spending a fortune on bricks and stucco and a lot less on the athlete. I like our priority.

Please be specific. What will we have that ltur will not because they had to sacrifice in order to build an ascetically appealing building from the outside?

-----maybe start with the square footage and their amount of seating area subtracted from the total and compare it to our APC!!! I do Willingly admit to not knowing a thing about construction but this just seems logical!!!

I disagree. When the APC is finished, it will look great and will blend with the IPF, the SEZ and the T&F facility. Then, the tear down of the Cox Bldg. and the Quadrangle for tailgating there. It is still a work in progress, but will look awesome when finished.

You are correct that is a good place to start. Do we know if UL's is bigger and has more to offer a student athlete as the previous post suggest. I don't know that is why I am asking. I hope the new facility here shows ltur's up and is a better recruiting tool than theirs. I don't have a clue that is why I am asking.

You may be correct. I just know driving down CD Blvd right now it looks like a metal warehouse. That is the side that will be seen the most by the general public and casual fan. The side your speaking of won't be seen unless you drive all the way back there on the baseball field side. I hope when complete the back side that faces CD Blvd is improved tremendously and is no longer an eye sore.
