Cajun Field: UL's Maggard wants 'Wow Effect' function

[Turbine]

Why would walk ons do that for 6 days a year? Why would they not build their own place across the street and kill it 365? Why cut the university in? It’s not practical. Anything that would be in the stadium would be ran by the university...and probably underwhelming if not a total ___ show

6 days a year?

I want a 24/7/365 Coffee shop.

The problem is not specific to CC.
We’ve been inundated with small time thinkers, people who love the word “can’t”, people who’d rather talk about being Big Time than actually execute a plan and old guard who are infatuated with the idea of doing “more with less”.

All of that is over, whether they like it or not.

My comment to Metry earlier is case in point. The people that don’t have the guts to dream big love to laugh at those of us that do. But I’d love to see Metry go tell Bryan Maggard he’s a clown for wanting Big 12 membership.

I have heard comment from several coaches (asst coaches) from several sports and they just love Maggard and his group. The common thread is that "can't" is no longer in the AD's vocabulary, the vision is always a "yes, we will make it happen vision" and any well thought out request is now being met (little or large) with the understanding that results are important. WOW how things have changed.

Yeah, the days of "you think too big" are long over.

I wouldn't say "long over" it still feels new to me.

I will say the new vibe was long overdue.

Having a restaurant on the property is not close to the same thing as having a restaurant in our football stadium.

It is exactly the same thing. And I used Russo not CF. Same deal.

Absolutely shocked that you would post that. Further showing everyone why I refer to you as a “know your place” fan.

My bad. I thought you were trolling. I guess if your going to dream, dream big.

Weren't you the fan of the old KEEP OUT signs that said no such thing?

As long as it is constructed so that the public will have access to patronize the restaurant 365 days a year, what does it matter whether it is on the property outside the stadium or inside the stadium?

No, i like to run stadiums so not a fan. I am a fan of the rules and if somebody asks you to keep off their property obliging them.

I’ll make sure to pass your approval along to the big man.

MLB parks all over he country do this. If I’m not mistaken, Jerry World, the new Falcon stadium and LA new field will all be 365 day access with shop and retail.
