    Isn’t that the Democrat-ic way it’s done?

    I assure you that if we had done our part shovels would have been in the ground long ago. The fact that we didn’t meant it took much longer for UL to come up with $60 million — which is no small task. And of course COVID, construction costs, etc. only complicated things further.

    The project is going to get done because the people you are trashing were privately working their tails off behind the scenes to turn lemons into lemonade.
    I must have missed when they asked the fan base for funds..

    I would have been fine with this press release to invite the blue collar fans to donate anything possible to the cause. Nothing wrong with a grassroots campaign at this stage of the process.

    Cajun Vic, you are so oppositional and working against all Cajuns fans, who wear Louisiana across our chest. Your negativity doesn’t help us get the funding needed for the stadium.

    I give thousands annually to RCAF. We should all be disappointed the stadium is not complete. I hope we can all agree our administration, student athletes, alumni, and fans deserve a new stadium. It’s been long overdue.

    The administration is not doing enough. We’ve been without a public fund raising campaign for Cajun Field or staff needed to make this happen.

    There is nothing stopping any of you who are complaining from writing a check and sending it in with a note instead of showing up on an anonymous message board and doing nothing . . .

    While I can't say I give thousands, I've steadily contributed since the inception of RCAF and I totally agree. The longer the university waits the more the price tag goes up. At the same time more people will lose interest and be more reluctant to contribute.

    Transparency is needed in terms of money in the fund, commitments for donations made, and how much $$$ in terms of both of these items is necessary for the university to pull the trigger.

    If we had done our part? Who is we? You can't keep asking the same folks over and over for money. I also never got the memo asking for money for stadium renovations.

    Another idiotic post blaming fans. It's always the fans' fault with you people. It's never the people getting paid to promote athletics. It's never the people who failed to hire dedicated fundraiser for over a year and a half. It's never the people that have YET TO ANNOUNCE a public campaign for stadium sourcing. It's never the people redesigning the stadium plan 6 ____ing times because Martin Hall & Reinhardt communicate like Bobby & Whitney. It's never the people charged with engaging our alumni in other cities, data mining their information and making sure it's accurate as they graduate and move into their careers. (BTW, just to screw off, collect a check and then quit without even telling the people that hired her.) It's never the gameday crew that STILL can't figure out how to celebrate our (very few, but something) accomplishments. It's never the in-game experience people that can't figure out that ____ing LOONEY TUNES songs isn't your target audience. It's never the people that can't figure out how to deliver decent concessions to your fans at a reasonable cost. It's never the people that retain a coach after years of mediocrity, pay him at an elite level (for our league) and then bi+tCh and complain that we can't afford today's COA stipend to recruit football players. It's never the people that spread propaganda that has LONG AGO turned off a deeply routed fanbase in MBB. It's never the people that didn't lift a single mother ____ing finger from the time we HOSTED A SBC CG in Lafayette, LA from the time we kicked off the ball in 2023 to do any ounce of selling, promoting, engagement, business development or communication; but then yet again, blamed the fans for attendance. It's never the people killing off the greeks and chasing students from games. It's never the people that have spent more time KILLING OFF development opportunities around the sports complex than cultivating them. It's never the people that arbitrarily jacked up prices, rearranged tailgating spots, chased off legacy fans, destroyed the very small donor base that we do have and failed to adjust to an ever changing Acadiana. It's never those people.

    You can shove it up your ass. You and everyone who keeps telling Cajun fans it's their fault. Look in the ____ing mirror, Rebel. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. Not everyone else. Your ridiculous way of gaslighting the fanbase is the exact same way that many in this admin think and always have. Your a great little lap dog for the old school mantra - "Do less with more."
