Cajundome Renovations 2016

I'm am anxious to see the finished product. It sounds like it will be very nice. However, I'm not sure adding more and better concession stands will help if they will not be opened!

I'm loving this discription. The dark colors, the lights, the court.
My only regret? I don't have any except it's way late in coming.

Saw an interview with Greg Davis saying they might have to play some early basketball games at Blackham as they don't think the Cajundome will be done until sometime in December.

any chance we are going to get a renovation camera running for this project as well?

The architects seem to think we will be ok ... but we will see!

Architects and construction project managers do not have a good sense of time. If you ask them, they will always be on time or ahead of schedule. haha

Article says targeted reopening Dec 1. Even if they hit that it's cutting in some.

Last year we had only played 1 exhibition and a pair of non-D1's by that date, so wouldn't be too bad for Blackham

What I wouldn't give for lighting to be added to roof, like the superdome. And the UL logo added as well.
In a town like Lafayette that is lacking a significant skyline, the Cajundome, already an icon, could/should play a more of a role in the city/region.

That would look cool at night to go along with the LITE center and CGI's color changing lights

For all of us calling Jay/Steve/Foote for years to b*tch about the lack of atmosphere in the Dome as compared to Blackham---this blurb has me hopeful!

"Lower level seating capacity will increase by a thousand (1,000). Basketball configurations will be more intimate. The first row of seats will be right next to the basketball floor instead of 14 feet away as they are now. They will also be higher by eight (8) inches creating much improved sight lines. New courtside seats will be available on a newly resurfaced basketball court. "
