The price was not 10 mill on the tigue and thats the point. We shouldnt have taken out bonds or whatever for baseball stadium when we could have used those bonds to start football stadium 2 years ago

Crazy it makes you wonder for sure but by your response i see you get how the cajundome renovations were paid for
You gonna start a football stadium with $7 million in bonds? Our former AD lied to everyone and botched the project, then was forced to step down. Do people really not remember how this went down? Our great late coach didn’t deserve to have that done to the program and props to Tjoe for giving the man what he deserved. You have to have at least half the funds secured before anyone will take your project serious, the OLOL pledge of $35 million for example.
We will agree to disagree, when farmer lied or whatever tjoe should have explained how we couldnt afford to take out bonds for a baseball stadium when we were gonna need to take out bonds for football stadium in a few years. All i know is we need football renovations worse than we ever needed a baseball stadium renovation or atleast to the degree we did it
First of all, you brought up how basketball renovations happended before when we actually didnt have choice
2nd, yes i would have told the 30 percent donor we cant afford it right now but if you wanna put up more money we will go forward with baseball
Thats what Lampson did
That’s why you are not a college AD or university president and we are about to build a football stadium and add on to our already nice baseball stadium. Then all of our facilities will be done. You never tell someone who is offering 30% of your cost to build no Thanks, you get off your ass and raise the other %30 and borrow the rest. The football stadium is getting done geezus.
Youre probably right, i just feel tht the football stadium shoulda been done 2 years ago. Probably wrong but one of the reasons it wasnt done was they couldn't get loans or bonds because of bonds taken out for the tigue. Again probably bs
A $65-$70 million whatever project was being held up by $7 million bonds sold 7 years ago? Come on man..come on. I would think covid and taking a bath financially would be more logical. The new park has been setting records in season tickets sales, it’s paying for itself.
Good point, i should have known that was bad info, i guess i didnt think it out
I also think/wish football should/ would have been done a long time ago, I just don’t think the baseball stadium has anything to do with why it hasn’t been done.
