Perfect.

That's plenty of capacity for every one of these schools. A crowd of 20K in most of these stadiums will look respectable.

25k in a 35k stadium looks pretty full because people spread out....


As has been said many times here....bowl the stadium, tear down the upper deck, build a pressbox/suite/office complex and call it good around 36K

That is the perfect stadium for us. And In the East side of the stadium and NEZ, continue the look of the concession and bathroom that is in the SEZ so it wraps around to give it a more symmetrical look. Then, as the Cox Building is demolished, build a Square in its place that includes a smaller version of the FDL fountain that is in the Quadrangle on campus, tying the athletic and academic campuses together and giving the whole athletic complex a finished look.

I think the public square with the FDL should be more visible. For example, it could be in front of Cajun Field or in between the football and baseball stadium, but not off in a corner by the APC. I do agree with demolition of the Cox building.

With the Cox building gone, it would be between the football and baseball stadiums

I understand the concept SF proposed, but I believe a more visible sports quad from Bertrand would be better.

That whole dumpy parking lot / athletic campus needs to be beautified. It's embarrassingly ugly.

This is what I would do! I would put 2 or 3 parking towers on the Congress side of Cajun Field. Put a big square with a fountain, stage and tailgate area right in front of Cajun Field.

It would attract more people inside the Pressbox and Suites area with restaurants and shops.

I like that idea. I would build student housing at the corner of Congress and Bertrand with shops and restaurants. I'd section off the large open area on the westside with tree-lined, landscaped roads separating multiple parking areas. I'd also tear down the chain link fence and replace it with a short brick wall.

I'm for a secluded Swamp where Cox is.

Come out of the tunnel and cross a bridge.

Where we can put Louis and Anna in the secluded swamp! Where we have our live mascots. Easier to march them out on game days!
