Mardi Gras at Cajun Field

[fanof71]

Not to be pessimistic, but I don't buy Christmas trees, not even from optimists.

Scrooge...

Scrooge...

he has an artificial tree that he keeps up year round and the ornaments are printouts of posts he deleted that disobeyed his “no politics” rule

I bet I’m winning on that tree with the most ornaments.

Have a question.
What is your valuation for the university when the Optimist club sold Christmas trees on the Cajun Field lot?

You think a 500 sq ft area is in any way comparable?!?!? LMAO

You're either:
1) Someone who stands to lose money from a restructured contract
2) Someone who wrote the agreement in place now
3) Someone with very little understanding of how optimizing assets works
4) Someone who is broke

An empty lot the very next week does not cheapen the value the week it is needed.

The value is set when both parties agree on a price.

The value is set by the owner and consummated when a buyer/renter agrees to pay it. Period. If you ____ up the valuation from the get go, you're bad at business. That's the point we're all trying to make here. Stop hollering about how broke we are, but giving away your valuables.

Nothing says money grab more than asking the optimist club to pay for usage of an empty parking lot during Christmas time.

The optimist club is working for charity. The Mardi Gras and Dealership association is working to make PROFIT.

You have to pay to play. That is a universal thing in capitalism. In this country, anyway.

I don't think UL knows how to build a pricing model. As per LouisianaB's post, were heafty discounts not offered? 44% is really a steep discount...I don't see auto dealers offering that, do you? Join a mardi gras assoc and ask about a 44% discount...

The value is in the scarecity (did I spell dat right...) of available land to pull these big shows off inside of Lafayette. Where else is there that gives the logistics and location of Cajun Field...You take it or you leave it, but UL needs to stop selling access to assets like its selling cases of Hadical...

Again, since you’re the UL/businessman guru, what’s your valuation for the 50 x 50 area?

How was the meeting?

[ManAboutTown]

If memory serves, the area is roughly 65k sq ft that's used for the car show.

So what's that, $0.13 per sq? LOL

Talk about a steal

Aluminum with a color wheel?

I noticed you never responded to the facts..

[lafman1]

I noticed you never responded to the facts..

What facts would that be?

[Turbine]

What facts would that be?

The ones you never responded to.

Just guessing

Good guess. Lol. I’d first have to see the ‘fact’ before I could respond to it.

Meanwhile Moncus is about to have a problem. Had to go to Regent's Bank this AM. Towing was on going, some people might of gotten lucky. People were parking at businesses across the street as far as Albertsons. Won’t be long until the tow trucks will get called in there too. Panera and CVS lots were full.
