New Swamp Turf Coming for 2017 Season

[Ragin4U]

All this because of a typical government reaction. They give access to whatever building until someone (allegedly) gets hurt and files a claim. Then everyone loses the privilege of usage. Typical governmental being reactive instead of proactive. Much like the ticking lawsuit called the playpen....errrrrr north end zone. Two rent a students as "security" will be a flimsy defense in court.

Goodwill gets you (UL) nowhere when money is to be made.

Proactive would be locking the gates from the start.

I pass through Cajun field on a very regular basis and I am amazed at how often the gates to the stadium are wide open.

Sadly, yes. That's the world we live in.

Sadly, yes. That's the world we live in.

At least have a sign stating you aren't allowed in the facilities so they could claim trespassing in the event something happened. At least you might have a chance in court.

When did they get sued by someone in Cajun field while there was no game or scheduled event going on? This is the first I hear of it, must have missed that one.

[Boomer]

OK guys, just quit. I'm a bad boy like La-Spice said. God, through Father Broussard forgave me, so I hope La-Spice and Mudspeth would do also. I'm so sorry, I will never do such a bad thing again.

......Just curious what level (mortal/venial) sin and what was your penance
.?? Lol........Frenchie thanks for ALL you do!!!

Actually, if I remember correctly, when I was in school, apparently some frat dudes went into the stadium doing some shenanigans and one of them got hurt.

I used to be able to just run in through the main gates any time I wanted to run upper decks. After that, I had to enter via the tunnel when the athletic complex was open.

It was somewhere around that slash mark (/)......They were appreciative of the pictures, but condemned me for taking them illegally........what they say, between a rock and a hard place.....Boom, I must have 2000+ shots of construction of the athletic complex. Softball, Baseball + a video of the installation of the baseball turf, Track, IPF (football & Softball), Football end Zone, Student Athletic Center and a mirrored of Tailgating (video and still).....

You are doing a better job than our local media...and even our own athletic department at documenting construction progress. That's worth a press pass. Hopefully Maggard isn't in a vacuum and can see how it's an easy way to earn goodwill from a highly jilted fan base from the previous AD.

Thanks Hawk. I have something for you and Boomer. It will be a while before I can hand it over to you both, that is if you want it. Maybe at the first Baseball home game. It's a documentary of the installation of the baseball turf from the first removal of earth to the completions of the project with music and sub titles. MY wife help me put it together. It runs about 30+ minutes. I gave one to Coach after the completion.

I want to see it.

OK Turb. You got it also.
