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

[Boomer]

No. Did not know that.

?...jai Alai also just right handed!!!

The problem with Cajun Field and noise isn't that noise escapes... there's not been much to make noise about with the few that want to experience unattractive football. The past of sporting events has been about winning. And you can win on a mud pasture or the Lamborghini of stadiums. If comfort and atmosphere are paramount to the future sports fan... we need to forget about seating... and just spend our money on production equipment. We can be a pioneer in adding any number of audio choices (deafening crowd background noise adjusted by the same nitwit that adds audience laugh tracks to sitcoms, play by play / color commentators with voice overs in your choice of gender/race/accents, etc)... while we resign ourselves to the reality that there's never going to be stadium comforts equaling home comforts.

I take you modern soccer stadium proponents and raise you. I want a seat in this stadium that provides me with the following comfort and atmosphere:

1) Open seat in nice weather, with an automatic shade/rain guard that appears over me at my command - that does not impede the view of others around me.
2) A holographic menu screen that appears on my command that allows me to order and receive any food or beverage delivered from any local establishment via drone delivery - entering with other drones via a stadium portal - where an automated food/beverage tray receives, delivers through the seating structures - unpackages and serves it to me.
3) Seating ergonomics and comfort equal to a finely crafted sports car.
4) Seating mechanism for delivering a urinal tube - complete with privacy cover (so I don't have see anyone else's junk)
5) Built-in bullhorn with directional microphone (hands free) to allow amplification of my insane cheerfully gushing glee or my insane ranting/raving dissatisfaction - whichever is warranted.
6) Upon detection of glee or anger from me, another chair sensor directs a signal to a harness worn by the head coach - providing a proportional comforting back slap or a kick to the groin.
7) The before-mentioned hologram device also appears instantaneously and directs my view to the location of hot babes where it provides anticipatory messages and alerts to impending movements that might reveal additional skin and feminine features I like. I will have preset tuning that prevents unwanted interruption during specific sports activity... whereas the hologram will video record and provide "babe replays" during lulls in field athletic activity. While I am enjoying such delights, the hologram will also project an image over my face that has me appearing to look only at the activity on the field of play.
8) The before-mentioned hologram will also provide me instant replays of field officiating calls - where I will be given call reversal authority - and to keep games fair I will select a group of 4 others who pass my intense scrutiny at the start of every contest so as not to appear singularly bias. It is very likely these will be fellow members of Ragin Pagin.
9) My seat will stand me up for the playing of the national anthem - as will all seats in thus stadium - I will place my hand over my heart and sing the anthem - where myself and 100 other musically gifted people will be audio amplified and presented on the giant video board in a choreographed montage of patriotic faces with Old Glory as the background. Those that fight the seat mechanism requiring them to stand will be electrocuted by the seat and removed at halftime (providing ample time for others to reflect on the error in judgement).
10) When significant positive events occur on the field of play - regardless of how "outdated" my most excellent high fives are - I will send them universally to every other Cajun fan hologram and we will enthusiastically "High five!". At that very same moment, I will send to all visitors and non Cajun fans an image of Boomer on his piano playing RESPECT.

10 is enough for now. My actual "rendering" of the new "Cajun Field" has over 200 personalized fan seating features. My command center seat will have 37 additional options not accessible to others - one of which is the directing of nuclear warheads to countries I might get irritated with - but I am mature and responsible enough to disable that feature if I've had too much Whiskey.

Have no fear... everyone will like their new seat in my new stadium.

TLDR

See you in September!!

....Don't know who gets the credit for the stadium ideas but,,,,,,,WOW,,,,,, if we do this high tech covered field changing idea, just think of the possibilities of some outside funding....even Tabasco pepper lights for scoring, Tony Cha sprinkle (fake)from a can of huge seasoning, Free Bud for every win, Franks oil rig .......largest on campus basketball game....new athletic wear provider (yes Polo) as we host our first polo match indoors like!!! Btw do you guys know that polo has to be played only right handed???

J1M, this is your fault.

I'm not an opponent of a modern stadium. I'm just trying to rationalize where it will be built and for what real cost. It would require completion before it could be used. Therefore, we'd have to get full funding of a new stadium and property. I'm doubtful about demo'ing Cajun Field. And if we did, where would we play while the new stadium is being built. The debate isn't about how a modern cool stadium would be better. It's the reality of the location, real costs, the schedule and logistics of playing while we build.

I think modernizing Cajun Field is (unfortunately) the most logical approach. But I could be convinced differently (not meaning that "I" have to be convinced). But there's some gaps in the reality of our ability to use and operate Cajun Field while we build this new modern stadium.

No stadium that I posted is extremely expensive. They aren’t all in and around the same price range as what Houston constructed 2 years ago.

If it cost $75-100M to renovate Cajun Field and would cost $125M for a brand new stadium, then brand new is the way to go IMO. It would rejuvenate the fan base and local/regional interest.

We also have the property and space to build a new one right next to our current stadium or in the same vicinity. As far as what we do until the stadium is complete, become road warriors or Work a deal out with the super dome.

And the Car Show, can't forget about the car show!!!! 🤔🤔🤔

Why wouldn't we be able to play at Cajun Field while its being constructed?

[Ragin9221]

We really could renovate Cajun Field to make it just like that stadium. Bowl in the rest and add a huge canopy with lights around it and you got yourself a 35k loud stadium. We would have to find a canopy that would reflect sound onto the field.

Granted it wouldn’t be as much attention as a new stadium would bring.

Ah the car show. Got to have the car show.

I miss the corners around the Cox building. Made a salesman soil himself while test driving my favorite car thru there. He made the mistake of saying “shame we got all those cars in front of you, can’t go thru these corners and test her out.” I just waited until everyone cleared. He was talking with Jesus when I hit the first corner...

I would like to see UL partner with the city and build it between downtown and the future I-49 connector. What a great site that would be passing through downtown.
Imagine closing Jefferson street for a tailgate village on football Saturdays!
The festival could use it to attract major acts that are in New Orleans for the J___ fest.
I can envision an international friendly between the US and France or Belgium.
It would revitalize that area much like BBVA stadium did for that area of Houston.

And what’s the issue South Al has with their stadium?

[Ragin9221]

Ok this is something we could do!! Use your imagination. We can have a canopy that looks similar but bigger that would go all the way around Cajun Field, and still add the press box and suites to the home side just like this, but ours would be a lot nicer.
