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

[talktomewillis]

Some people, even when they hear it out the horses mouth, still think what they thought before they heard it and it's different than what they heard. whew, say that twice.

As relating to the study on premium seating, I would imagine at this point of our program, there isn't a whole lot of appetite for such a thing. Even with winning, it's still the Sun Belt and that won't draw in people beyond the core fans. It's not just the product we put on the field, it's the product we are playing against too. However, if you listen to some on this forum, we would never build suites because we have never had them and we have of history of not selling them in Cajun Field. Right? No, we will build them and work to sell them, just like seats (approx 40k is fine for now, we don't need 30k to make it look better)

In order to make the premium seating (PSL) work, it would take fans/donors to share the same vision as Maggard has.

I wonder if there are enough of them to do that.........

I was just looking at some pics of stadiums this is a better example I think what CF would look like. I had to throw this one out. Think whole lot bigger and nicer suites, premium seating, and press box on the west side than this stadium.

That would be amazing i think you need to keep the NEZ open for future projects

This is an excellent point.
If RP is any representation, 80% of the fanbase would laugh Maggard out of the room if they heard what his plans were.

From what he has done so far, as well as pushing for a newly renovated stadium stadium and increasing ticket fees and coaching salaries, I would say that the writing is on the wall. He’s looking to make us a threat to the rest of the G5 and beyond.

And I’m not talking about just a threat in the Sun Belt Conference. This man has some extraordinary goals for this program. Stay tuned.....

Hope we get out of the SBC soon. I personally think the product on the field does not justify the cost of paying for season tickets. If we become a top10 G5 team maybe we can get people (like me) to pay more for the product.

It’s really about thinking ahead. Maggard and his staff are looking beyond just this upcoming football season. They’re looking 5-10 years into the future and taking the steps in the present to get there. And I think the overall feel of the fan base is at a “wait and see” stage at the moment which is understandable.

But one of the bigger flaws of our way of thinking around here is that we want a lot more while doing the bare minimum, and that’s not how college athletics succeeds in the long run. If we want to be a big time school, we have to act that way.

That starts by getting people to stop crossing the basin. We need acadiana people to support Acadiana first. Maybe a remodeled Cajun Field we with modern amenities will help
