Just because your buddy failed (made a bad investment) doesn't mean the team failed. I thoroughly enjoyed the indoor game. Air conditioned sports during the summer with adult beverages ... perfect for Lafayette; and an exciting game.
I'm sorry it didn't work out for your buddy but that was an investment issue not a team issue. Unfortunately the league closed down.
I'd prefer watching paint dry over watching soccer. That being said, I do believe that overall interest in college football is on the decline. Young people are just not as into it as we were. UL has waited too long to get serious about a football program. That window of opportunity closed on us about 30 years ago. That's when the powers that be at UL threw in the towel as far as football is concerned.
Refurbish Cajun Field into a state of the art stadium that seats 30,000. That's all we'll ever need.
It will end up around 36,000 and no, the door is not completely closed yet. But this is our last chance and it's tougher because you are correct about our past history of neglect.
Any update that anyone knows about?!
I suspect Maggard is running into the same economic realities his predecessors faced. I don’t care who you are. It is not going to be easy to find funding for a project that big.
Whoevers idea it was to do baseball, softball, track and soccer before football should have their toenails pulled off one by one with a pair of pliers.
