Cajun Field Renovation Plans

[NewsCopy]

Major Cajun Field renovation () is a high priority for Maggard.

Two options tied to renovation of the stadium’s upper deck also were developed as part of the original masterplan, both calling for complete replacement replete with an eight-story press box facility and new premium seating.

The entire upper deck needs to come down.

Then and only then, begin thinking about what needs to happen next.

Those of us sitting up there will suffer. Hopefully they keep a few seats up their for us pofolks.

We just need about 15 rows of seats in the upper deck. But have matching ones and please for God’s sake a huge canopy.

Didn’t look like any plans were revealed, even though that’s what the headline reads

I was hoping there would be reserved seating in the new upper deck too. Last I heard (obviously not final) was there wouldn’t be seating other than club/suite seating with the new construction.
That definitely displaces several with reserved seats (mine included). But we need to get rid of the excess GA seats up there and make the seating/atmosphere more conducive for rowdy environment!

Yeah this is probably Maggard trying to keep the "upgrade" plans fresh in people's minds, hoping we can steal a win in Boone and have a quality bowl appearance... then he can justify asking people for more money and/or raising more prices

Remove upper deck, replace with nice press box + suites (indoor/outdoor seating). Focus on the terrace that surrounds Cajun Field. Maybe make the entirety of the terrace covered (in an aesthetically pleasing way). It'd be a place that people could mingle, watch the game, buy drinks. The terrace is where they can get that "tailgate" within the game concept they floated around in the fan survey.

Turning the entire terrace into a bar/tailgate area wouldn't satisfy the "premium" options ($$$$) the AD office is seeking, but maybe amenities such as drink delivery or sealed-off "clubs" with further amenities like TVs, waitress service, etc. could be provided.

I dunno, this has all been discussed ad nauseum, but it's a topic I enjoy.

Adding value, not increasing prices

I agree. I'm in UD1 and we'd like to keep our seats. We're a group of 17.
