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

Guys...why would anyone in their right mind buy soft drinks and lemonade from a concession stand when every car dealer has free water, coffee, beverages, popcorn, etc. under their tent for prospective buyers??....it would be more of a headache than anything for the university to go through all the trouble of paying people, set-up time, etc.

Everyone knows car dealers spike the free drunks (I mean drinks) with buy-a-car-now joy juice.

That is a known fact.

I'm still trying to figure out how they get it into the sealed cans.

And this is where you make a deal to charge in return for a better payout for using our land.

Negotiate, my friend. Show them how valuable our land is.

"NO CONCESSIONS BROUGHT IN" would be in the contract and we require each car dealer to purchase concession tickets from us if they want their customers to have same for free. It may cost them a little more but they would not have the hassle of each bringing that stuff in.

I’m all for charging more for use of facility...but these concession ideas are terrible for not only the dealers...but the customers...imagine you’re walking around and want a water and the dealer says here’s your coupon...buuuuuutttt you have to walk across the parking lot to redeem it...

It’s not that long of a walk if you put concession stands all around the tents. Walking a few more feet when car shopping won’t hurt anyway.

It's just another thing the administration can look into along with all the other things brought out in the two day thread on the issue to make an evaluation on whether we are getting sufficient value for the event and whether there are other options available that reasonably bring additional revenue to the university. Can't always think within the box. It gets clostophobic in there.

Before jumping back to the new/renovated stadium, for that wedding proposal thing, we could also think about throwing in Jay's vidoe to start up the bachelor party.

I'm all for extra events, but you can't force customers into extracurricular activities without hurting sales.


It's a deal-er killer.
