#RenovateBlackham

[CajunNation]

...Now if we want to talk about an actual basketball arena, cool. Think that would be more cost effective and a better investment than renovating a deteriorating structure.

Deal.

So, to recap my deal I'm working on here, people way more knowledgeable than me are projecting a new arena with a 10 year window.

....making progress.

Thanks for the info.

Once you start a renovation you are now obligated to bring it up to New codes and standards.
The gray area would be if you only renovating a part of the area does it only apply to that area or to everything that touches it. That is how a building will have less seating than it had before because the standards generally require more space per occupant.

A series of wide strategic tunnels to an outside ring of action for things like food venues should be looked into.

. . . Tunnels to . . . The Original Ground Patti, Kartchners, McDonalds, Poppa Johns (home of the shakoliciois pizza), Old Time Grocery . . . Tunnels . . .

But what contract? With Ticketmaster and CD? Or with CD and UL athletics?

Ticket fees and concessions are unacceptable. But what will make them better at a renovated Blackham?

The athletic department has to honor the TM contract with the CD. The scenario I mentioned to you comes from the fiscal irresponsibility of these existing contracts. Just mending that contract one would do wonders.

I believe any event outside of Mardi Gras Balls and graduation uses Ticketmaster

[CajunVic]

. . . speaking of Mardi Gras Balls and whether interested in Mardi Gras or not . . . everyone ought to experience at least one Apollo ball in the Cajundome . . . and you can bet your rats ass you will never have held your wife’s hand for so much in a 5 or 6 hour period as you will if you are fortunate enough to get that experience . . .

I haven't heard anything this year yet but, The Annual Southwest Louisiana Black Rodeo has been held at the CajunDome. Usually in March.

Mid-Winter Fair Rodeo does not use Ticketmaster, they use AftonTickets. The Southwest Louisiana Black Rodeo has been in the Cajundome and they use Ticketmaster.
