Anything which puts eyes on our field is a tremendous asset. If the new West side had a restaurant in it, it would be the best place in Acadiana to go have a sit down lunch over looking the Swamp. Want to impress a client, land some new donors, entice an industry to set up their taxable operation in Lafayette, you CAN NOT beat what that view would do.
Build a high rise behind center field at the Tigue and every single unit would be leased/rented in first hour after opening the front door. I'd live there till I died.
