Cajun Field Construction

[cajuns80]

Is this a fancy way of saying "we don't have the money to do the East side, so we need to sell a ton of West suites to pay for it" ?

The state is paying for the east side. It's just the timing of the funding.

Got to admire someone who's this fired up @0615 on a Monday.
I don't have any ____s to give until, at least, Wednesday.

Booo this man.

I couldn't make it to the TXST game. Talk about ____ed. First one I've missed in a long time. Yea, I'm fired up.

Any estimate on timing?

My best guess earliest would be 2025 to begin post season.

My goodness…

CF will be “under construction” for multiple connected years.

Each passing day of “radio silence” on either phase isn’t reassuring even though RP has posters saying don’t worry.

It's good and bad I guess. The scope of the project has grown from original plans and final product should be very nice

To your point, hopefully we get some kind of announcement soon

. . . good things take time . . . great things take more time . . .

Yep. Rome wasn’t built in a day. I’m guessing Cajun Field will be a finished, leading edge stadium in 2028.

I always loved that idea of being able to see the Cajundome through the stadium. Cool concept that won’t happen.

Can we show a need for more dorms and get the state to pay for inclusion of dorms on the East side? Since the West side is key with suites, a little delay on redesigning the East side shouldn't be a problem, especially if we can get dorm rooms for athletes at the athletic complex.

That isn't going to happen. You would be hard pressed to find any University in the country that has paid for dorms in the past couple of decades. Dorms these days are done with third parties and dollar lease programs for the property. All the new dorms at UL have been done that way. I believe it is under Ragin Cajun properties.

East side is going to be nice with athletic staff offices, food service areas for athletes, etc. I really so no reason to put dorms in the mix.

…….so what is needed are student related projects with being adjacent to huge number of parking each day….ergo a place for emergency medical facilities, dinning areas with visiting areas…….need some help of what could be justified in adding like athletic administration which is very badly needed!
