Cajun Field Construction

[CajunNation]

I'm guessing the west side will have suites. That might be why it gets done first?

One thing of note that I’ve seen here (and heard in interviews) is that the press box will no longer be on the west side. I had thought it was originally in the plans to be in the new west tower. So curious to see how this plays out for the east side renovation.

But why not have the press box on the west side. When the sun hits the east side at sunset, no one in the press box will be able to see the field. Not sure what they are thinking here.

Frees up west tower to be purely suites for revenue generation. Press box on East side will have cameras, TV announcers, and press looking at a fuller crowd. Better for TV.

And depending on what the press box on the East side looks like, makes for a nicer stadium.

Agree.

I was wondering after Jay had mentioned they would be in a new press box on the east, why they don't go ahead and start on the east and build everything there first. Then when they finish they can tear down the west tower and everyone moves to the new press box. Idk I'm not a construction guy so I'll let y'all handle all that

its a state project, which takes alot more time to push through, from what i understand

I would think, from a logical marketing position, the suites stay west.

Having the east side tower with educational space will make stadium look more balanced and finished

The optics of having the tv cameras facing the home side vs the empty visitor's side would be a nice change

Are the suites open air?

This is just awesome news!

Will the West side also hold administrative offices along with suites?

Ok. Make sense. Then maybe either earlier or later games. The 6pm has the sun directly in the eyes of the east side.

7PM kickoffs prior to Homecoming.

4PM kickoffs for Homecoming and beyond.

This should be the normal schedule unless ESPN says we absolutely have to change it for National Broadcast.

Similar to Russo. Suites as well as club on west side. 3 levels of suites.

i think there is a plan in place to put admin on the east side.

Got it. Regardless, I feel this might just help galvanize the Louisiana fanbase.

The toothpick!!!

In his defense he could not do anything about that. The SBC hired him to paint a print with all of the current teams and coaches on it.
