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

We probably wouldn't have to mess with Building Code issues.

See you in September!!

Does your soccer stadium have a beer spillage prevention system?

See you in September!

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.

if it is raining fans could stay in their seats.

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.

If it's feasible then it needs to be considered. I just don't know the costs we're dealing with in either case. I don't have a handle on how much quality remains of the existing stadium that we'd want to retain and/or if we're making a mistake retaining it, adding on, and maintaining over a new stadium. I'm sure if we had no existing facility, we'd go very modern.

I'm not going to lie... I am concerned about the condition (and reasonable maintenance costs) of the existing stadium... even after the repairs/upgrades. I would like to see a new alternate designs and cost study that includes the reasonable options.

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.

This is what I’d vote for. With the existing earth bowl and a canopy around it, Cajun Field would be loud as hell and nicer than a new erector set stadium JMO

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

Present stadium...neighborhood. Look back at posts on this site and JagNation.

....So we get Kevin Bell with Nat Foundation to fix what we have....tear down the upper and bowl the NEZ......now put on the bells and whistles......oh and the Popeyes Chicken pops up and gives a UL cackle when we score!!!

Blow it up and start from scratch. That's my 2 cents opinion.

Well, $00.02 just isn't going to be enough to do anything, so you just as soon not comment.

If we ever needed to expand we could do something like this.
