New Survey

I think something like this could be OK on the NE corner up to the 20. If you put this on the entire Eastside, you're taking away too much seating capacity.

Not if you bowl in the north end zone too.

FWIW, get ready for a lower seating capacity.

I am more down with bowling in Cajun Field, and a huge concourse level for tailgating with bar stools and tables all around the stadium with access to concessions. Build a canopy to shield the inside tailgaters from the sun, and lock in crowd noise.

You know how loud it would be if we did bowl in Cajun Field, with a canopy around it.

You guys are missing the point totally. This is a slap everything up on the wall and see what sticks exercise. This isn't remotely close to what might get built. Everyone wants input and they are throwing stuff out there and asking. ......

I know but just the thought of getting rid of the east side for that is almost terrifying! I love the idea but it is doing way to much if they did it to the entire east side.

Looks like Orlando City (MLS Team) did something similar in their stadium. They call it the safe standing terrace, and it's just rows of standing room with cup holders on the safety railings. I would be down with something similar, but dressed up like it was in the conceptual drawing. Might be a creative idea to skirt around the issue of that side of the stadium not being able to have newer chair-backs due to code issues.

They are over thinking it.

Renovate the seating. Just make a really nice, covered lounge/sports bar type atmosphere up top. In fact, that would be a good motif to extend all around the stadium.

K.I.S.S.

Over thinking it is part of their job. They are going to throw out a bunch of ideas and keep the ones that make the most sense.

They are trying to figure out a way to best utilize the real estate inside Cajun Field. This is something Farmer gave ZERO thought to when he added the North end zone. Right now, nobody wants to sit on the East side because the experience sucks there. They are trying to figure out a way to make that experience better and get people to actually want to sit there.

Trust me on this one. We have Populous designing this thing. These guys are far and away the best guys in the business. Their name is on damn near every major stadium built in the last 20 years. They know what they are doing.

I’d rather have OCFC’s roof.

I am thinking more like this with bar stools and tables on the concourse level, put a canopy all the way around, take out the upper deck in the picture.

Here is a picture of what I am talking about. Put bar stools and tables on the NEZ and visitor side concourse. That way students, visitors, and fans can set up shop inside the stadium. Can not bring outside food or drinks they must be purchased from concessions. Opens 9 A.M. on game days and must have a game day ticket to get in. We can show other games on the big screen at Cajun Field.

We bring the tailgating inside Cajun Field ! With covered seating we would not need tents inside.

Put luxury club/parish sections in the wedges on both sides of the east sideline that go from the field to the top, from endzone to the 25. Bowl the remaining half of the north endzone to connect it to the home side seating. Put some boxes or patio seating that's part of a nice, covered concourse restroom/concession area along the top of the east section, maybe some of the high bar seating that extends down into the top 1/3 of seating in that area. Leave what's left between the 30's as a student section and the band area.

My crazy idea for transforming the east sideline into something that can generate premium revenue, get people out of the sun, and still leave a seating section for students (that we have to believe will come if we make the product desirable) and the band so that there's still a normal college atmosphere in the background of any football action on TV.

I'm no architect, but something like this (pardon my crude MS Paint illustration):

Maybe the parish box does not have to be that big maybe put it at the 50 between the 40’s where you have the student section and band. Just move the student section and band over. Bowl in the rest.
