    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..

    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.
    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.

    This is why you hire a top notch CFO. There are many financing vehicles out there to take advantage of, but you need to have contacts, credibility & rock-solid accounting books.

    Then and only then, begin thinking about what needs to happen next.
    With the type of attendance we've had, we don't need an upper deck.

    My estimation is any construction will fall in similar bounds of Steve Oubre's original Master Plan idea of making the whole area a multipurpose zone. Living, recreating, and sports all in one area. With stadium upgrade costs, if you're working with a $100M a year athletic budget you're golden, but at our level you need to make a facility or area usable for more than 6 times a year. JMO

    I agree. We need to somehow aquire a USL soccer franchise in Lafayette. FC Louisiana with Vermillion and White as the colors. Perfect fit

    Is Cajun Field large enough for soccer?
