Construction on Student Side of CF

[SlickRick]

To say this is long overdue doesn't due justice to how bad this situation has been for students and any fans sitting on the east side. When we added the south endzone section, I figured they would add a cover on the east side at the same time. If it was up to me, and it's not, I would extend the cover even further out to the light poles. They should also do something similar to the south endzone.

I'm guessing there is a plan to find a new home for the names of former players that are on the back wall.

I think the out side of the new addition will be the ring of honor. It's flat and large enough.

This. Plus the east side has looked "unfinished" since it's inception with the support wall for an upper deck that hasn't ever been needed

Agree with this 100%. And I hope they can extend it to the light poles as well, with brick columns etc to match the SEZ.

This will also whet the appetite of the fans for what is coming on the west side. After all this time, it’s good to see our future donors being taken care of before spending millions while they would of been sitting in 1970’s surroundings.

TDP was the right AD at the right time. Same can be said of Maggard. Probably the two best athletic hires in the history of our university.

Oh, with all due (well earned) respect to TDP, by the time Maggard is finished it will not be even close as to who was the best hire. We are only seeing the beginning of the great things that will be happening in Cajun Nation. And they will almost all be due to his leadership. Of course, none of that will have happened without Dr. Savoie, so there’s that as well.

ETA: sorry, just re-read your post: now see we are saying the same thing lol.

A little shade for the students: But blacks out our heroes on the wall.

Thanks for the pics Frenchie.

100% positive response.

ps be careful on the throwback pics though, fans have had a few years to analyze the situation.

Hope they replace that piece meal window unit with a mini split. Ranks right up there with Tech’s gone with the wind ticket booth.

You think some sort of gutter system would be needed for the front of that awning? In a bad rain that’s going to be a wall of water. Also that black fence would be the perfect design for the front of the stadium.

Excellent decision to add this to the student side. I have always said, since my first game as a student was the 2014 Southern game, that in order for UL to truly be a great atmosphere they need to somehow, someway, dominate student attendance.

This will greatly help and there is no doubt. Those August and September games get brutally hot and most people want to leave halfway through the game due to the heat. I, myself, did that during the 2016 Boise State game. It also didn't help we were losing 28-0 after the 1st quarter in 100 degree heat. This will give them some place to cool down which is much needed.
