I feel like if they can put a huge overhang over the endzones and student side. It would lock in the crowd noise and keep fans from the elements
Some people, rightfully so, were worried about the cost of Cajun Field renovation. What they underestimated was how talented and committed Dr. Maggard and Nico are. There is corporate money in the Acadiana area, but it is different from the boom times. Now you have to work for it, be professional, put a really good value proposition in front of the customer and then follow up and deliver on promises.
What we are seeing are businesses investing in an athletic department that is not only displaying success (for the most part), but viewed as community-focused, very well run and something that a business WANTS to be associated with.
It hasn't happened as fast as we would have like, but they have built something that has a very solid base, and not on quicksand.
Congratulations and Thank you to Dr. Maggard and Nico.
Wow, the architects tore down the Hilton.
Well, I don't know what the total cost is going to be, but I've heard somewhere between $65-$75 million. And we can we say with certainty that enough has been raised to start construction after this year, since I know we, the citizens of UD1 & 2, have already been notified that our seats are going away after this year. That is also stated again in the article about the current $2 million when he states that the only people affected (need re-seating) have already been notified.
Can't wait for a lot of more threads on the whole re-seating thingy, lol.
