[Million$Mullet]

Need a backdrop of the big cranes working on stadium

[CajunVic]

how many fans will it take to look good in those areas . . .

[UL_Cajuns]

Everyone will be sitting on student side or in end zones during construction.

Wonder where the cameras will be setup for TV?

Good year to take promo pictures

Listen to what BeauCajun says. He knows and is the only guy I am listening to on this subject. Beau really knows.

What about me?

[CajunFan3406]

Don't be surprised the CF reno is pushed back indefinitely.

You're totally off base with this comment. At this point, everyone should be extremely surprised if the renovation gets pushed back at all.

Well you are Beau Jr.

OK 33 pages of reading. Lots of thread drift and *****ing, but thought I'd highlight the two comments that were noteworthy (besides Beau's strangely accurate comments):

I’m not spilling the beans, but I will share publicly available information.

1. No structural changes are scheduled for the student side this year.

2. If you look at the “PMAC renovations” thread, cjr3888 was nice enough to post all the items included in the spending bill for UL. This one stands out to me:

-Kinesiology, Hospitality Management, and Athletic Administration Complex, Engineering, Stabilization, Equipment, Planning and Construction
Priority 1- $15,000,000
Priority 5 - $22,000,000

What a strange mix of facilities. Where would you put a building like this?

Super astute observation Rebel. You get a lot of crap thrown your way on here, but great research. Monitor this situation. If you're a Cajun fan, hope that JBE signs off on HB2 and that FP&C moves that $22 mil P5 money with the $15 mil P1 money.

I think they will be moved, eventually. They really don't affect the ribbon board and it will be expensive, at least in my world. I envision bigger and brighter lighting, possibly led.

Remember the old Tigue lights compared to the new lights, pretty much the same change. Again, this is what I envision, not anybody that is important!

Another astute observation. HID lighting is not really a cost effective solution for any project of this scale. Heck, it hasn't been a cost effective lighting solution for most applications for years now. Any new lighting at CF will be LED. The statement about the poles eventually moving is a pretty accurate one. See my comment above to Rebel about P5 monies.

Only logical place would be student side unless they bring in a man lift on home side. They won't want anyone inside the construction zone for safety reasons.

Will probably partially depend on when the demo happens and the remo occurs.

If the season is in between those events, I can see cameras on the home side.

There will not be any cameras on the home side during construction

I think that is what I said as well.

[Turbine]

As I think about it, the cameras are either "on the home side" or "ON the home side."

On physically or on facing.

No cameras. You have to come to Cajun Field to see the Cajuns Play. LOL
