Site of 2017 UL baseball home games: to-be-determined

There isn't a better man for the job though. So we got that going for us, which is nice.

True, but he deserves better than this. Scott Farmer and Martin Hall throwing this on Robi is chicken crap.

Cowardly!

I was under the impression that only the grandstand was torn down. And that the metal bleachers were still in place. I thought that there was talk of still having home games at the Tigue with only bleacher seating available, until construction was complete. Maybe that was just a rumor. I cant remember

I noticed that Johnny Rizer is no longer on the roster, according to his Twitter Account he is at Blinn Juco. I think the program had some high hopes for this young man, would be great for him to have huge success at Blinn and come back ready to contribute. Does anyone know what his status is, is he still hoping to be a Cajun.

Not sure of the status, but it was probably wise of him as the outfield is looking to be pretty loaded. Blinn is a good JUCO. He will get the chance to play and develop at a quality place.

I want to say the same thing happened when UL went to play a weekend series in 2007 at USM and the school was remodeling Pete Taylor Park. The media/radio/PXP was setup down the third base line. The grandstand and press box was under construction and only the 1st and 3rd base lines were available.

I was there on Sunday. Lost a tough one 1-0. Buddy Glass pitched a great game.

This reminds me of the lost season of the IceGators having to suspend the 2016-17 season because the Cajun Dome would not be ready.......I know, who cares about the IceGators.

Me. I do. Thank you.

There is no other alternative in the Lafayette area with a larger seating capacity. The question will be, how do you renew season tickets when half of them will not have seats opening the season? This disaster has been downplayed from day one and I'm interested in how it's going to play out. I can almost assure you the responsibility to calm the anger of season holders will be thrown upon Coach Robichaux.

I don't know if they can throw it on Robe with a straight face. Most, if not all, of Lafayette know Robe is more than competent.

The thing that ____es me off is our legit Top 10 contending team will have to make the vast majority of its run this season without the usual home field advantage.

Robi may have one of his toughest coaching job ahead of him.

He is the right guy for the job.

They don't even have a plan, I couldn't make arrangements to attend those "home" games if I wanted to. You are bitter...constantly...about everything.

Game Mgt. staff thinks they are on schedule....

That might be tougher to do than try to play in a new venue. I don't think I'd want to tell 1800 of the 3000 season ticket holders "no seat for you". I think the biggest issue would be rest rooms, concessions, and meeting safety requirements for the area under construction. They've also already mentioned looking at all options, so don't be surprised if you wind up with the grandstand bowl completed and open but club area and suites continuing construction to try to minimize lost games.

I was there freezing. Stevie P. was in a plywood box down the LF line....freezing, but at least they played a home game.
