Cajun Field Construction

That’s exactly what is happening. The press box in stadiums are on the camera side always. The new press box will be on the student side along with the cameras and on the new turf the logo will be facing opposite of the home side.

Wow! I sir will stand corrected!

You may want to check your sources. It was as of 2 weeks ago.

Just blows my mind but it’s the right decision. I’ve been saying for a while now we need to rotate the field 180°. It will look SO MUCH BETTER on TV!

You are probably wrong on this one.

So it looks that way! Lol

No worries, I am wrong a lot. More than I like to admit. Geaux Cajuns!

Wow! I sir will stand corrected!

….Will the home side(one closest to tailgating) have an upper deck? Will the existing one stay?

Don’t worry Boom, nothing will change in Deridder . . .

Does that mean the visiting team will now be on the “home” side? Can’t imagine we’d put our boys in the sun like that.

Not sure if press box being on the visitor side will guarantee TV will set there.

Case study: Tulane. Pressbox is on visitor side, TV booth on home side. Was told TV likes being on home side, plus issues with the sun.

TV will be on the visitor side. All of the media will be on the visitor's side.

Yeah, that is what I was alluding to a couple of months back on my comment don't expect the stadium to look like the drawings. I think, overall, this is a good thing.

Very interesting development. I’m curious how this will affect the new ribbon board that was just installed. Will it go above that?

This may make the stadium look more “finished” having this on visitor side in front of the wall

. . . be careful what you ask for, you might get it . . . I believe this update falls right into that category . . .

Interesting for sure. I think I like the idea. Let it sink in a bit.
