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

This is where the university failed. That was the whole debate I brought up about the car show back in May. We have a history of financially selling ourselves short. We could’ve easily made some easy money opening small concession stands during that show and could’ve generated a lot more money than we did. Add in charging higher rent than what we charged and that car show becomes a treasure chest for our athletic program.

That’s the key.....our real estate is a lot more valuable than we give it credit for. The university and athletic department need to make it so through bringing in some dollars.

But but.. the big fat checks...

I think you may be on to something there. Can you imagine the beer, lemonade, water and soft drink sales that could happen on those three warm days of the car show. Car places should like having lots of beer out there to soften up the customers.

Nothing like drinking 4-5 beers and going test drive a car you don’t own

Somebody has to rain on every parade. Oh, that's Marci Gras.

C'mon man, bring your designated tester with you and we have that covered.

I guess next we won't be able to drink at football or baseball games.

Hard to be serious after 5 beers.

I would definitely consider soft drinks and water/lemonade. It’s easy money. At the end of the day, when we loan our land to outside entities, we have to ask “what does it take to make every dollar that I can?”

As an athletic program, we don’t have the leverage of just lending our property for cheap. We are trying to grow our budget in an attempt to grow the brand and move conferences. Sometimes, that means milking as much as we can on the way out.

Might also have to put up a sign for people leaving Russo or Lawson for games on car show weekend:

If you have had an acholic beverage at the game, you are not allowed to test drive a vehicle at the car show.

YEA RIGHT!!!!!! 🤔

If only the athletic department got to see any of it.....
