Could the Ragin’ Cajuns be getting a new football stadium?

Like VO said, that would be IF we get a pass on the codes for the bottom half.

I'm guessing that once it is decided that this is the route, and as soon as we get the go ahead from the genie of the building codes, the NEZ will begin.

For some of y’all who don’t live in reality and want a 40,000 plus football stadium, because bigger is better right? Y’all all wanted to trash the euro soccer designs and capacity. I have flown over this stadium at 100’ above the opening and it is the most incredible stadium I’ve ever seen, which fits our program and budget. But hey y’all can keep living in la la land thinking we could build a 45,000 seat stadium and get that big P5 invite.

We could bounce beams back and forth from the LITE Center with that thing.

We can call them the egg and the omelet.

With a stadium like that we probably get some National Publicity on it.

Especially when it blows away in a hurricane.

Who are you talking to C4L? I like you brother... but a fly over doesn't warrant the criticism. Research this and provide greater detail. I visited the link and read about this stadium. We have many, many options if we went with a new stadium at a new location. Modern structures, features and designs are evolving (beyond this 2012 design). If we started from a clean sheet, we'd get whatever we wanted that we could afford. You need to tour these stadiums and decide if what made it cost what it costs still fits our 30 year outlook. It may. No offense... but it's like sitting in a Batman movie and having your kid say, "Dad, our next car should be a Batmobile... they're freaking cool!".

All right, son, it is really cool... I'll look into it with your mom and see if it's both "cool" and can haul groceries, isn't just a loud engine wrapped in plastic, and not cost $800 for an oil change.

Does russo have any more funny $$$ that tony didn't get???

Exactly what I was thinking as my first impression.

Other than it being voted one of the the best new stadiums in the world by a panel of archatecture firms, what wrong with it?

It’s too different?

It’s not up to our visions of grandeur?

It only seats 35,000?

We deserve a better stadium that a measily soccer stadium?

P5 programs aren’t expanding their stadiums, they are building for fan experience. Creature comforts and atmosphere is what matters. That stadium would sound like the Superdome after Bret Baer’s FG if it were full. It’s a damn echo chamber with incredible sight lines. It would keep the sun from beating down on a majority of the crowd for early games.

More importantly we can afford a stadium like that. All of y’all want to bash those type of stadiums, yet you’d prefer a 60% increase in capacity while our attendance decreases by 10% each year. That makes all the sense I. The world.
