Cajun Field Renovation Plans

[Turbine]

The mystique of The Swamp will go through the roof when it is all underground.

Amen. You said it all. Just give us a comfortable 25-30k seat stadium. You want tikets to be a hot commodity, not something you can't give away.

The stadium will be somewhere between 30 to 35 thousand

You about said it ALL right there.

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.
