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

Hard to be serious after 5 beers.

That’s the fun part

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.

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.

With-Key Whi-sky for your new Crown-Vic and a designated driver home.

ps Too bad they don't make them like they used to.

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!!!!!! 🤔

But but.. the big fat checks...

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

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.
