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

Do you know who our AD was at the time ?

Ok so how much is this gonna cost if we redo Cajun field versus actually building a brand new freaking stadium.

Personally I like Cajun Field and we need to try to renovate it before we scrap it

This is what I call a disaster!

Apparently, according to the construction guys here, it will cost less to build to code from scratch than it would be to get the existing stadium to code.

If we rebuild we talking upwards up to 50 to 60 million dollars, that’s depressing when considered that could of been used to actually fix up Cajun Field!

We should not have spent money on the end zone seats if we were building a new stadium. I hope we tear down the upper deck and put suites/press box on both sidelines. I would like to see everyone closer to the field.

CSU new stadium is the plan I want us to follow and that cost about $250 mill

I dont see how we don’t go bankrupt, if we try to do this, maybe the city can maybe have a stadium tax?? That is some serious money!!

The only way is to partner with the city like UAB their stadium is around $150 mill.

Temporary Tax. Like the airport. Get public support and interest. Bill it as the new jewel of Lafayette. People will flock to see what's new in town (especially in lafayette). While they're here, we'll treat them to some winning football. It's brilliant.

Also, start charging all the events here (Mardi Gras, Car Show, etc) what they need to be charged, and make more $$$ to pay for it.
