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

[facelessjonmoon]

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.

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.

Man, I love some of these ideas; especially the canopys that can provide some shade when the conference makes us have afternoon games in September! But we had a hell of a time getting the what? 18 million for the baseball stadium? And one guy put in 5 mill. Is there some secret stash of money that I don't know about?

Well that’s what I am wondering, building a new stadium we talking about 100 to 125 million dollars! Hopefully we can come up with cost effective ways to renovate what we have.

NEZ project 10 million, tearing down upper deck and building suites and press box what another 15 million, building the canopy and lights to go around the entire structure of Cajuns Field 5 million. I’ll tack on another 10 million because I have no clue how much these things cost we talking about 40 million dollars.

If we have to bring Cajun Field up to code now we getting into numbers that are hard to fathom.

Gotta get the city involved. Maybe do something similar to the airport tax.

You would have to set up the vote at a time when there are no other elections, then push the Alumni to get out the vote! The airport was a one cent sales tax that lasted for 8 months. I think it generated over 30 mil. If we could pass it for 12 months it may generate close to 50 mil.
