Cajun Field Construction

[cjr3888]

Crickets from the administration or RCAF No one has asked me to donate to the athletic facility master plan or Cajun Field specifically.

They are going after big donors for the Cajun Field renovation and pulling in big bucks. They wouldn't raise anywhere close to enough by asking us for the money.

Before I post my thought, I’ve had CDS myself recently.

It is January 16th. Many of us have been told late spring/early summer for Cajun Field renovation to commence. January 16th…less than a month past the winter solstice. We’re not close to late spring.

About 7 mill was needed when I was told the time frame. We’ve since had Macro Oil come on board. I would think each donor wants their “moment in the sun” with their gifting, so it appears they’re on track. Maggard sent out info to people in the UD. To go back on that would be a career killer P5 wise.

I’m not concerned about crowds size in any sport since the Covid mess started. Know people on both side of the fence of personal impact of Covid. If I had a family member struggle/expire due to Covid, odds are crowds would not be my thing. God has blessed many of us so far on that front.

We will be ok. Tonight I’m sure Maggard and RCAF has things under control.

Nice, well thought out post. I believe it to be quite accurate as well.

Shortsighted.

Get em and in the pipeline, you never know when someone in the pipeline strikes it and has an itch.

That’s why the outreach is needed for recent grads. Not specifically for stadium construction but to build the base.

Well that’s gotta be at least a break even on cash flow.

Louisiana has 1 fortune 500 company left in the entire state (in North LA).

Memphis has 3 within its city limits, with one in the Fortune 50.

Even so, would be a hard sell to deep pockets to invest up to $200 million in a stadium in a program that could be left out of the P5 conferences, and in this potential era of decline in CFB with all of the flux going on.

Its been crickets from the university on where the CF reno stands...Does anyone have an update? My guess is the original 65 Mil budget is now 70 plus for the same design. Prices only going to go up.

Current inflation is greater than that.

We're currently in the silent fundraising stage...

Seriously...i think some people at UL need to start thinking creatively about this....

Sigh... 'lent' past tense of lend.

'Lend me some money but don't tell nobody.'
