Cajun Field Construction

[KajunKrazy]

According to some sources here, there will also be a new structure on the east side. The uninformed passerbys will be thrown for a loop

I heard its going to be a huge mirror that will reflect the seats on the home side lower level so passerbys will know there are seats down there.

We know something will happen soon. UL system is set to approve demo of the upper deck at their meeting next Friday.

Another tidbit. Looks like UL is approved to borrow up to $15,600,000 in bonds to finance construction. The money to pay back is not coming from premium seating. Money comes from fees collected by the school.

Hmmm. Mirrored glass on the eastside press box could be an option

It sure is. I think people are gonna be extremely happy with what they are doing to the stadium. Fan friendly and a hell of a lot more comfortable.

8K in a 40K stadium will always feel comfortable. This project must get Acadiana excited. One shot to get it right.

Word on the street is we still don't have plans for the remodel and funding is not there. I'm not too hopeful it gets done after this year. Sigh.
