Well the Cajundome has made it clear that it’s a basketball arena. UL basketball has priority scheduling.
One impediment to a minor league team taking up residence is the fact that UL men’s and women’s take up twice the dates as before because the schedule is opposite (one week men at home and women on road, next week women at home and men in road).
I’m 100% all for it! Definitely should be the next focus after Cajun Field. But with that said, all our energy needs to be focused on Cajun Field.
If I ever win the lottery, I would donate $25,000,000 to tear down Blackham and build a new state of the art arena that sits right up on the sidewalks at Johnston Street and Cajundome Blvd (would kind of resemble UTA basketball arena). Of course I guess I need to start purchasing lottery tickets.
i wonder if Blackham got renovated, if it could be used as a concert venue?
Ideally, of course a new arena would be awesome. But I have to say, there's something about sitting in that building and feeling the history (the only real history this program has outside of a brief period in the diamond sports) and the ghosts of Cajun basketball greats... So many great programs still play in field houses. It just feels important.
The Cajun Dome feels like a morgue. Cacophonous. Empty. Sterile.
I think it would be an overnight success.
You know…our administration should be able to chew bubblegum and walk at the same time. Let’s get Blackham in motion! Why wait!
