Mardi Gras at Cajun Field

[Turbine]

Lord. You are inconvenienced at a baseball game.

Just because the university is a state university and you are a taxpayer doesn’t make you have a voice in government run agencies. So, you think you have the right to have a say in LCG business dealings, the airport commission, education business, the BVD, Highway dealings, etc? They are all government agencies.

You inconvenience belittling aside, athletics is different and you know it.

So your side tangents are interesting facts but have nothing to do with athletics.

If I'm being inconvenienced as a paid customer to attend an event that is the basis for why the property exists, I have a right to know what's going on. It's called TRANSPARENCY. Why do you think council meetings exist? You think elected officials go, "what we and government contractors decide is NOT your business." That's why some of them get unseated some election time.

Wasting your time buddy. This dope is here to defend his turf. He’s obviously involved somehow.

Yea, we do have the right to a say in LCG business dealings. Which is why we have city council meetings. I guess we should just bury our heads in the sand when our mayor president’s wife starts up an equipment rental company and hands out millions of dollars to a single contractor with no-bid contracts.

Just government agencies doing government business.

You’re dying on a weird hill.

Right. The heck with the fans who are there for university sponsored events on university property. So what if they're inconvenienced?

It's not just "being inconvenienced at a baseball game." You're putting together an event on university property that has absolutely nothing to do with the university during university sponsored events for barely any money. The Cajun Field parking lot is not built for Car Shows or Mardi Gras parades. They're built for UL events. In the instance that a car show or Mardi Gras wants to use the property, you create value and charge a decent fee instead of what we are charging now.

It's not rocket science.

I’ve said this before too. The ‘value’ is the price that the university and the customer agree on. Nothing more. It doesn’t matter what you or I think the price should be. It’s what the two parties negotiate. And it’s not our business.
But I’ll tell you this too. Make an appointment with the president and tell him your concerns that outside entities shouldn’t be using Cajun field and your are inconvenienced by him doing so.

Nope. Remember, that is NOT your business.

Lafman1 is a POS Tiggah fan. I wouldn't waste any more time on this clown.

The $303 million raised so far in the campaign includes the two largest gift commitments in University history – $20 million from LHC Group to the College of Nursing and Allied Health Professions and $15 million from Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center for the renovation of Cajun Field. The University received both pledges this year.

My point exactly.

If a donation can result in a name on a stadium, expectant (donating and paying) fans are not out of line to expect stats on a "score board."

[lafman1]

More concerned about how the man got public information than making money for the university.

Clown.

I wouldn’t think that the university would make money it receives from lease/rental agreements as public record, but I could be wrong.

You’ve been wrong this entire discussion. So let’s go with that.

Question. Does Savoie have to consult with you when an update version of the mainframe computer system was needed? The hiring of faculty? Coaches salaries? Just asking.

Right. I take it you didn’t have that meeting.
