Mardi Gras at Cajun Field

[lafman1]

Poor logic. Just because the properties are unused at other times during a be year, it doesn’t devalue them at Mardi Gras.

There is no other option, and the university should charge as such.

Perhaps they could use the former location for the car show before they started using Cajun field

[lafman1]

What an idiotic take. Maybe you helped write the contract. Or maybe you just have no idea what value of assets mean. Or maybe you're just a troll...

Or, maybe I realize that having an empty parking lot not being used for the majority of the year brings in revenue. But since you seem to think you’re the end all when it comes to the university, why don’t you stroll into the office of president of the university and tell him what an idiot he is for not valuing the situation as you see it.
Or, get on your little podcast and rant about it.

After your meeting, make sure you report back here the results.

Does the car show even exist anymore?

No

[Boomer]

No. It’s smothered steak over jambalaya (or white rice, however I feel), with green beans and potato au gratin and a white bread roll.

…..nothing beats tongue Tuesday!

I think this dismay some posters have of the low cost of renting out prime property for Mardi Gras/Car Shows comes from a place of always being told how poor we are as an athletic department. I think if we weren't always told "we don't have money for that" or "the money tree is gone" and we see UL-owned property being rented out dirt cheap, it just doesn't make sense.

Where was their former location?

Airport

I remember when we used to let the Christmas tree guy use a piece of prime real estate facing Congress in exchange for a couple plate lunches at Dwyer’s…

That was the Optimus club and it was for charity. The money was used for projects in the community.

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

[UL_Cajuns]

UL definitely need to charge more. Wow. It’s basically giving it to them free based on what it costs to actually go to those festivals. It’s costs Hundreds of dollars for a family of 4 to go to those festivals.

So you think Mardi Gras could be moved to the airport? Ok.
