So it starts.....

Im under the overhang, I wonder if I will be affected also. Hopefully the seats will still be in the shade after the renovations

The front part of upper deck will not be affected. Meaning the overhang will remain.

That's cool, but what about the
hangover?

That’s going to be tricky. We’re finally getting students to the game and now possibly sending them to the end zone? I’m sure Maggard will come up with a happy medium.

Not really….we had season tix for many years on the east side right next to the students. That whole section is still available for season tix, and you can sit right on the 50 yd line. But of course you then have to deal with the no coverage and being in the direct line of the sun. If you sit high enough like we did you can watch everyone struggling to make it up all those steps…but at least now they added railings during the upgrade this summer.
But looking at the renderering I’m a little more hopeful that there will be seats not tied to suites, so although they’ll no doubt be more expensive will still be within range of current costs.
Either way can’t wait for this happen…GEAUX Cajuns!

That's good news . I like being under the overhang.

Are you saying they will be using the existing upper deck instead of demolishing and rebuilding?

I'm fairly sure that isn't happening. Would make no sense. I believe it would cost more money to retain and repair than replace.

The upper deck is not salvageable from the reports produced a couple years ago. Unless massive structural upgrades are made, I don’t see the possibility of using it.

Some will be disappointed, and others will be happy.

My understanding is the following:

• The new upper deck will be a press box, club-level seats, and suites, not necessarily in that order.
• There will be some remodel to the seats on the west side.
• Once the stadium is completed, the whole stadium will be reseated based on your RCAF ranking.

Lots of the seats that are between the 35-yard lines, those people will move to the suits or the stadium club seating.

So, no level of seats in the new UD that are comparable to the current UD1 & 2? On the rendering, it shows 3 levels: major suites on the top, more suites on the loge area, and then just regular seats right below that. I really hope that they go that route, like the rendering, but understand they are juggling a lot of things in the reno.

That is my understanding, no regular seats in the upper deck. Artist rendings very rarely look like the finished product.

That's what I figured. Sigh.

When you say “regular seats”, does that just mean single season ticket seats? Meaning, they’ll be sold as loge or suite sets?
