#RenovateBlackham

[cajun4life]

Sure. Let’s move all the funds from the Cajun Field renovation and dump it into a dump renovation. Or maybe pull money from the Robe locker room build.

Not.

The Convocation Center at GaSt cost $82M in todays money. Brand spanking new arena that fits the potential of the program.

Cajun’s basketball should have an arena of 6000-8000 seats. No more than 8k, period.

Their is as much chance of the renovation of Blackham as us going back to an independent.

Can we just stop the madness on both of these discussions. It is not happening, unfortunately. We are going to be stuck with the Cajun Dome.

When I hit the powerball, I'm coming back to this post.

Twice in my life, actually.

[CajunVic]

so you are like the guy who prayed hours every day to the good lord to win the powerball . . . after years of this, the good lord finally sent down an angel to greet this fellow . . . the greeting from good lord was "dude, give me a little help, try buying a lottery ticket"

Feels better than fighting our football players.

I will continue talking about it. That's how ideas become reality. Should it happen? Absolutely should. Will it ever happen? Probably not. But all it takes is for one business savvy person with influence to run with the idea and anything is possible.

It absolutely should not happen.

Agreed, the dome sucks all the energy out of a UL basketball game.

I went to the Evansville game a few years ago and the energy was amazing. I can only imagine back when the seats went all the way down to the court with the students on top of the opposing team, the home court advantage must have been crazy!

I too was at that Evansville game and for the small crowd we had, the atmosphere was great. Just imagine if they dumped $15 million into that place!

I'm on board with MAT's dream ad vision. Basketball should be played in an arena like Blackham. I'll remember to buy a couple tickets every now and again. I got you, bro!

It'll be called Shipley Court at Man About Town Arena

Yeah there were 3500 people in there and it felt like 9k. That was a fun game. One guy for Evansville beat us single-handedly.

I was in your camp till we hosted McNeese in 2005, loaned them our practice uniforms and Blackham rocked like the Cajundome has never rocked.

It was awesome.

I can tell you this. Admin has never had meetings to discuss going Indy. Within the the last couple of years, they HAVE had meetings to discuss renovating Blackham.
