Champions Square

[Ragin9221]

Am I correct in assuming this will be in the area where the Cox building is once it is torn down? Would be great if we could relocate the tennis facility to make that area even larger. This would connect be centered within the football stadium, baseball stadium, IPF & APC and even the softball facility.

I would like to suggest that we include:

1. A smaller version of the FDL like the one in the quad on campus to connect the athletic and academic campuses.
2. Brick the area with a separate brick for each football letterman, like we do for alumni in the quad area. This could really connect with football lettermen from past years. We could do the same for each sport at each facility.
3. This would really create an awesome athletic complex and used for multiple sports and events.
4. If this expanded development of a Champions Square is not in the stadium budget, do a separate fund raising for that alone. I bet lettermen would support it and fans and alumni would as well.
5. This would give us one of the most awesome athletic complexes in the country.

Yes I agree move the tennis courts, and anything non-essential and make that area as big as possible !

Not sure why the cox building is still in use. Assuming they need the office space for something? Where will those people go once it is torn down? Based on USLing this it may not happen anytime soon unfortunately.

Administration offices as well as a dining area for athletes (in old weight room space) are 2 current uses. These 2 functions supposedly will be moved to the future east side tower

Well Maggard’s apathy towards the attendance situation I don’t see it happening soon, then you
need to have an area just for tailgating that is an actual square that is like a festival.

Cheap cheap to do.

Also I saw this picture online that I remember when they did the report. This is something they need to put in the NEZ as well as a Championship Square and we would have one of the best venues in the nation! Minus the parking lot in the picture and the roads and just walking path, also do exactly what Houston Cajun proposed.







Tailgate Town sounds good to me !!

A miniature verson of the Campus Swamp which was adjacent to Louisiana's first football field would bring it all together.

Are we one of the only teams who encourages fans to be standing around outside to watch players run into a tunnel -- 10 minutes before kickoff?

Ones who do it right have fans watch the players arrive in suits

Probably need 35k+ for a while before we can justify killing the hill in North Endzone.. Gonna be a while before those kids get over it

THE LOUISIANA GAMEDAY EXPERIENCE


1 - Replace the game ticket with the Louisiana Gameday Experience Pass. The Pass now is required to enter the fenced area around Cajun Field. That is now your attendance number.

2 - Tailgating remains the same with the exception that any unreserved TG spots are now first come, first served on gameday.

3 - Parking will be similar. There will be a reserved lot right next to the stadium for RCAF members. All other parking is now first come, first served.

4 - Entry into Cajun Field will now only be slowed for Bag checks. Other than that, people can now come and go as they please.

There are two opportunities.

Cajun Walk with the Marching Band has the players in suits.

Something like this would get us to 35k a game specifically if we build it now ! Get some fun jumps at the top !! Game on !!
