Cajun Field Construction

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.

What about me?

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.

Wonder where the cameras will be setup for TV?

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

[CajunVic]

So, just like that we are going to give up any TV money . . .

Doubt it. They will get cameras there. I am sure the angles won't be that great however. Not like they were great before.

Camera should be located on student side during construction. There’s always just one sideline camera used. The others are in the end zones, which should be minimally impacted during the project.

Take out your tailgating gear and start practicing during this toasty weather. Get used to it.
