Maybe put the red zone in one of the new buildings would be better than 2 double wides

I thought the long term plan was to have a Red Zone in the new construction at Cajun Field since that would have much more floor space. I know the bookstore in the union has a pretty large "Red Zone" area but has less sport specific options like you get at the actual ballparks involved. Since we have a separate sports complex, it would sure be nice to have one located there that would be open weekdays. JMO

That piece of property could be a lot better utilized without the car lot taking out a big chunk of it. I assume the Red Zone building would be gone with any development of that property.

Yeah, I forgot about that: the Red Zone is planned to be included in the CF renovation. They also have a very nice one in the new Tigue. Doubt they would need another one on Johnston.
But it would still be cool to have a mixed-use building replace it, with a nice restaurant, shops, etc.
We really need to improve the look of the entrances into the uni....

More than likely we will not go with the "tower" at cajun field its cost too much $$$ and Maggard wants to move quickly to fix that POS pressbox ..On another note I know a few offices that were supposed to be in there are being moved to the 3rd floor of the library

We are maxed out on student fees, so this announcement is not surprising.

Any idea what the Mosings are paying for naming rights to the APC?

What? I had not heard that this was happening.

No sir, not privy to that information.

No payment for the naming of the APC. It was done based on their past contributions to athletics and to the university itself (somewhere around $8MM total).

Wow...thanks. I had not read the article here, but also had seen it on the ULS site as well. I missed that important piece both times.

FYI,
Last night my wife and I were invited to "An Evening for Wisdom", the "kickoff" fundraiser for a new Catholic Student Center on the Louisiana campus.
Cardinal Dolan, the Archbishop of New York was the keynote speaker and he did not let the faithful down.
Huge crowd at La Pavillion. A short film indicated a new building (a very impressive structure) will be constructed across the street of the existing Wisdom Chapel Complex (Home of the Ragin Cajun Catholics). This is on the corner of St. Mary and Girard Park Drive.
They did quick auction at the end of the dinner to cut Father Michael Champagne's beard and at a grand a pop, $50,000 was raised very quickly.
