Mardi Gras at Cajun Field

[lafman1]

Are you suggesting they move the Christmas trees, equipment, etc just for Saturday and then bring them all back for each remaining home game? Come on man.

I’m suggesting the small area used to sell Christmas trees wasn’t a hindrance for parking during a football game, especially during the RCAF period.

UL just closed on the Lourdes property for 9MM. Get the Optimist club on the line, we got a new spot for their trees and apparently should lease it to them for free.

I think the optimist club found another location. They don’t need CF to sell trees.

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

If you are going to adopt my stance ... Thanks

It was, especially when the RCAF lots were formed. You need a tag to even get into the parking lot on game day. How do you control traffic with regards to people who want to go buy a tree? Furthermore the space it occupied (where the grass and pavement meet near the fence along congress was part of parking for the “C” lot. Which was the most used parking lot at the time. The arrangement at the time was not and is not feasible.

Exactly, they sure don’t.

"CAJUN FIELD"

"Thanks"

"Where did you get your tree?"

"On the corner of confused and don't know"

"Huh?"

"Take Johnston out past the water tower, turn left on Ambassador I mean Bertrand right on the corner where ___ used to be and its straight ahead."

"Huh?"

Did you have to pay to park or did you park across the street by CGI?

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

Uh. And the reported 50 X 50 area was taking up so much area that it hindered parking on Sunday through Friday.

No. They could have moved out Friday afternoon for the weekend game and back in Sunday morning after the game was over I am sure the university would have been OK with that.
