I presented the solution a couple years ago right here on this website and it's not complicated, at all
Shift all of the activities to the East side of the stadium and make parking free on the West side with RCAF parking where the RVs are now.
Close down Cajundome BLVD to auto traffic.
Open Table room as the GameDay sports bar
Food truck and brewery alley can be between the convention center and the Cajundome. Get all the local restaurants and Bars involved.
Sell tailgating spots round the Cajundome under all the trees and park like surroundings. Invite overflow towards the rec fields which would incorporate the Greek houses and encourage more of the Greeks and students to participate.
Utilize all of the green space going towards Blackham. Make that free tailgating. Set up wherever you want.
Have a transit system using the Campus buses to transport tailgaters down Cajundome BLVD to the stadium and call it touchdown transit.
Get the ____ out of that dusty, stale parking lot on the Westside and use the beautiful realty that is available.
It's not that ____ing hard
If you remember, student tailgating was moved to Bourgeois Park near the Greek houses for 2 years during the Hud years because extra parking was needed, but it failed because students didn’t wanted to walk to Cajun Field.
And that is why RCAF will never have autonomy; no so much dictating day to day to the administration, but a body that could say no, you can’t spend “the stakeholders’ funds” on this or that.
We would never have an Auburn situation, that’s a lone donor on a power trip. But we need RCAF autonomy.
And if the UL”L” administration reads this, drop the damn extra L and/or Lafayette. There’s no consequences in the “law”. Market the front porch.
