Ragin Review: Season 5 | Episode 8 - Rice Preview & Solutions!

I remember a post years ago by resident engineering guru Helmut that said the visitor side was out of code and installing chairbacks would be impossible without demo'ing and redoing.

Not sure if bench-back railings would be feasible instead.

Yep, rows are too close together per current code. They are grandfathered in, but if we make modification, we have to bring them up to code…which means redoing the row space, which basically means redoing the whole thing.

I don't think an overhang on the visitor's side would help much with the orientation of the stadium in regard to sun positioning.

Sun will be overhead due south from noon until it eventually sets in the W behind the upper deck.

It would almost have to be this way. This would probably cost a pretty penny, but we could do something like this, wouldnt have to be concrete either

The over hang would probably have to to be pretty fat.



Here is the actually stadium. It would be cooler.

Personally think it would be a huge waste of money to try and chair back the 50 yard line seats on the visitor side. Regardless of how nice the new seats would be, people will avoid sitting in the sun for 4 hours like the plague. Also, our softie fans won't like sitting by the students if they can't handle a few people standing up in front of them on the home side.

The NEZ bar idea is exactly what we were talking about in the episode. Some of you have relationships with the architect firm that was hired by the university. Some of you are passionate enough to contact them regardless and send pictures of this. Let's start planting some seeds. If we want people in the gates, we have to make common sense changes that will get people in AND keep people in.

I think that ACSW blurb specifically mentioning redesigning the west side should cause us to temper our stadium-wide desires.

I wouldn’t think it would cost that much compared to the total renovation, and it would make a huge impact on quality and life for people who are just going to be with friends or family or going to just hang out.

I personally think you could use it for tailgating as well.

To touch on the book store gear segment I have a story. Been living away for decades and went out of my way coming home from a job in TX to get some gear. Had hondos to spend and really wanted a Louisiana jersey (authentic preferably) so I went by the new store on Johnson St. Disappointed is an under statement. I still spend almost $500 but the only sizes of jerseys (not even close to authentic game gear) was sized xxxl or xxxs. I did buy a hat but prefer a sleek hat (had to get a trucker style) only to not get a ULLLL hat. Only thing that was cool and Louisiana was socks THAT NONONE CAN SEE ON MY BODY!!!!

Come on whoever is in charge of this and gear online is crap. The market is there to buy gear, it’s the most scewed supply and demand I’ve ever seen. I played golf today with a Texas Tech fan today and was so jealous of the quality of this polo and hat. I know, Texas Tech fan, but he paid!

I have a hot wheels UL flag my wife bought me (poor thing didn’t know) and I’d like to replace it but damn, get some ____ to sell me! I fly my flag and wear all the red I can up here north of the Mason Dixon but I need some help. Come on Dr M, make that ____ happen, every time I gear up people ask me about the Cajuns and so many comments about our success. Let your ambassadors ambassador.
