Third Place

Just sent you a PM. Might want to read it on your home network.

Oops.

reading through this alden report is hysterical. i had forgotten how damning it was. the sad thing is not much has changed

Feels a lot like the RCC and the seating added in the 80’s doesn’t it? RR has some interesting things to discuss with Maggard. Heck, some of this may even deserve a FOIA request…like who is keeping RCAF tethered. And why?

A "Third place" is a place where people hang-out that isn't work or isn't home.

Third Place Explained

Bars, clubs, barber shops, cafes, churches, parks, parlors, etc... Anchors of communities.

For decades, we as a society, have slowly stopped frequenting these places of fellowship and relationship building. Instead, large companies have presented malls and plazas as "the new town square" and it has splintered our communities. Technology hasn't helped this trend, especially with the younger generations. Consumer-centric businesses can't replace human desire to interact with like-minded strangers over a shared interest. This is why people have tried to replicate communal gatherings through on-line communication like social media, gaming and forums.

If I'm involved with UL development or promotions, my NUMBER ONE mission is transforming the athletic complex into the best Third Place option in a 10 mile radius of Reinhardt Dr.

What area in Lafayette is currently the Third Place ... do you think?

Given the administration put the Greeks under their thumb, RCAF under the foundation, student fans under the Pecan Patrol, and failure with the Alden report, what makes one think a restaurant/bar would possibly be placed on university property as a Third Place?

Nothing makes me think that. My question is where does that place exist today in Lafayette? I cannot think of any.

I remember all that as well. But everything, if I remember correctly,, was predicated with the stadium upgrade.

Everything costs money...in the case of CF and what was proposed,, you're talking a LOT of money.

I (being an optimist by nature) believe it can still happen.

I do know that the HGI was one of the pieces of that plan. Unfortunately it's the only thing that's gotten done.

Have any of you been to Truist Park in Atlanta. It's this threads idea on (lots of) steriods. You can spend a weekend there and have the time of your life without ever going in the ball park.

Now, the skeptic might think something like that would detract from the main attraction. I say nay. It's so desirable that new fans are being introduced to Braves baseball.

Damn, I wish I had won the Megamillions a few months back.
