Cajun Field Construction

It will remain on the east side. Sorry for the confusion.

Basically nothing that was originally Cajun Field back in 1970 will remain except the tunnel and north levee.

Do you have an idea of the project budget?

Interesting. So based on this comment-original lower bowl to be replaced too?

Correct. Bringing the whole stadium up to ADA standards.

This sounds like a $200+ Million project! I’m assuming some state funding is required? Sorry for all the questions I’m just really curious, and excited.

You have to have a plan to always move forward. Hopefully it’ll be in the short term.

A few questions if these can be answered now:

1. What is being done with the NEZ? Will it be bowled, have more symmetrical balance with the stadium or remain untouched? If it remains a grassy area, would they put artificial turf to give it a better look?
2. What about the athletic offices, restaurant, etc. that were to be added to the stadium, presumably behind the press box? When will current offices be demolished?
3. Are there still plans to build a quad where the current offices are, once removed, perhaps a mini-version of the on-campus quad with the FDL?
4. Will there be a new facade around the stadium?
5. Are there plans for a new mega-scoreboard?
6. Will there be new turf?
7. Are there plans to do anything with landscaping around the stadium and replacing the old, cracking cement walkways and parking that give it an old, worn-out look? For that matter, how about some landscaping around the whole athletic complex?
