Cajun Field Renovation Plans

[CajunVic]

Imagine if the current video board was in the corner instead of the end zone..or they could be creative right there in that corner..anything would be better than nothing..you would be surprised how much faster the sun would set behind 2 stories of building. You just need to block it when it's brutally blinding at sunset.

And the canopy should help also.

I like this idea a lot and you can root the top and have it as an open air standing room only/tailgating area.

It works great in jerry world and gives people who are price conscious an option to go or people who don’t mind an SRO atmosphere.

We could build a cheaper version of what we are talking about. I am picturing something like this. The stands would be higher, and suites and press box would be bigger. We could just add 15 rows extra up on the home side

We just need about 15 rows of seats in the upper deck.

How in the hell do you expect our cross country runners to train for races in Boone?? That’s the only mountain in Acadiana!

If we are going to spend $50mm plus, it really needs to have a WOW factor.

From what I hear the numbers they are throwing around in the planning meetings are much, much higher than $50mm.

I have no friggin' idea how they are going to get that money though.



This is what I would like our stadium to look like. This is South Louisiana. If we are going to do this first class, IT MUST HAVE A ROOF. A roof will keep fans dry, keep them cool in the summer heat, and trap in noise. A crowd of 15,000 will sound like a crowd of 25,000. This has to be part of the plans.

They could run up and down the Vermilion Parrish dump. Lol

Going to include a picture because it helps me picture it. We would just have the lower bowl, and a small upper deck blend in with the lower bowl all the way around with the press box and suites going all the way around Cajun Field! Include the canopy then I say we got a winner.

My only concern is that since our stadium is dug in that the structure would not be high enough to block the sun.

Student section looks full...imagine dat..

MMT - Maggard Money Tree. Every time I think he has got to be about out of money, something else pops up - this month the turfing of softball.

That’s a damn beautiful stadium. If we had anything close to that it would be great

I think we could do something like this, and for cheap, just don’t add the top deck to the visitor side, but keep the canopy, a small upper deck on the home side is the way to go. I like the look!

We could always add a small upper deck to the visitor side if need be.

Checkout dukes stadium renovations. I like what they did. Also always liked Maryland’s home side. Basically remove upper deck and build a 4-5 story building where it was.
