Cajundome upgrades

[RedBug58]

Cajundome renovations, including the addition of lower-level seating, will be funded through the sale of bonds, which was authorized by the State Bond Commission Thursday.

----M-Rock and I were talking to S Farmer at the party before the game in NO--I asked him about the great clubhouse/ suites and he said that enough money couldn't be raised---Man that would have been great for recruiting!!!

How much funds were needed for the clubhouse/suites?

---That I am not sure of but was told the lack of money by the architect also as he really wanted to go with it---but as the image shows --it will be very nice!!!

The only requirement that I am aware of is a 10,000 seat requirement, which the Dome already meets.

Hopefully with the improved seating and quality of the Dome, a push could be made to host on the first weekend of the tournament.

Man if we were able to host a first weekend, that's insane revenue

Define enough. I love how nothing specific is brought up. I told him on Friday or Saturday that if they built the suites lower that I would buy one. It would probably help me from being thrown out.

Hopefully, they either build lower level suites, or leave space to add them later. Lower level suites are in all newer arenas.

So, does that mean the suites depicted in the video or not going to be built? Or are we talking about something else?

The money was taken out for moving the suites down. The bids or estimates came back to high. Unless something changed, which is possible.

That is awful. The lower suites would raise revenue. Very, very disappointing.

Yes, that's what I thought: aren't suites revenue producing, or at least, revenue neutral? At the very least, I hope plans are made to make them 'easy' to add in the future.
