MBB Final: Louisiana 81, West Florida 47

Yes, UL utilizes Cajundome Box Office for tickets which has a contract with Ticket Master. IIRC

Am I the only one who doesn’t see where UL basketball benefits from this “sweetheart” deal with The Cajun Dome?

Renovate Blackham and let’s go home. I bet the cost would be a wash after 3 seasons, and then a net gain growing year over year. It just makes no sense to continue like this.

No to the cow arena.

[ManAboutTown]

No to the cow arena.

That’s why I said “renovate.”

I'm in, we could build a much more intimate arena that could seat 6-7k and be rowdy as hell. Also could practice in it full time and don't have to rely on these CajunDome staff and management of concessions, tickets, etc. Hell, you could build a basketball ops center attached to it as well.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Renovations are generally as or more expensive than building new.

There’s nothing wrong with the Cajun Dome.

[ZoomZoom]

Agreed. When Cajundome Box Office contract with Ticketmaster comes up for renewal, they need to shop that out. I'm sure Ticketmaster sales teams shows up to the Cajundome Director's office with a heavy briefcase.

Yet UL isn’t listed as one of the universities on the Ticketmaster app.

I was googling old pictures of Blackham, and noticed this:


Is this how it looked when it first opened inside? Or was this an artist's rendition? Bracing looks a lot cooler than current day.

Also saw this one too, but this is definitely an artist's rendering:

[RaginDave]

We will never be in Blackham as long as the CajunDome is in existence. Just my humble opinion.

I throughly enjoyed watching the game as the whistles rarely blew. It was a breath of fresh air. I think we will be pretty good this year.

Wesley should of gotten a flagrant foul in the last minute of the game. He flat threw the UWF player to the floor. How those guys missed it not a clue.

That building is so old and outdated its beyond renovation. Better served knocking it down and building a new one.

[CajunVic]

Ticketmaster is a larger profit center than Louisiana on events where they handle tickets for us. Let that sink in.

Wesley should of gotten a flagrant foul in the las minute of the game. He flat threw the UWF player to the floor. How those guys missed it not a clue.

Well he is kind of low to the floor so it might have been seen as something else.
