Thread: UL has big decision to make on Cajun Field renovation

    Cajun Field MUST get renovated, we have no choice if we want to be relevant in FBS. If not, might as well quit trying, it's an anchor at this point. This is essentially and primarily why Dr. Maggard was hired, to get this done.

    Was thinking that at some point it WILL be condemned if it never gets done. I know the "oil money" isn't there, but it will have to get done somehow, or we will eventually not even have a stadium to play in. It's not like construction/renovation costs are going to go DOWN.

    Yes, there are only 2 option: give up on FBS football or renovate the stadium (the right way, no half-___ job) NOW. There isn't anymore time to waste or wait. It's 4th and goal, down by 4, at the 5 with 3 seconds left.

    Ridiculous that the FOOTBALL stadium is the last to get done. Bass ackwards.

    That way of thinking only began to change with the hiring of Hud. Still, it was politically incorrect in this town to move Cajun Field to the top of the Master Plan.

    .... and here we are.

    There was no Master Plan in place, just a shot gun approach when it came to facilities. This is why Farmer had no clue, there was no vision.

    Raced out of town, they were raced out of town to protect us good folks from the evils of gambling. What a crock.

    Vangy Down has a great facility in Opelousas. The St Landry people love their presence.
