Lafayette stalled hotel project gains momentum; sports complex also proposed

[Esqueleto]

And you think there was fussing about parking at CF already. Until there’s documentation out there, this ranks up there with the tram network, or as I call it the Monorail to Maurice. Someone’s dream thrown out there that’s never happening.

The one thing we do have is enough parking, lol

I think this is in open corner of intersection. Garden Inn, cajundome and Cajun Field at other corners. New hotel, indoor parking and extra meeting rooms have been studied for Cajundome area. Looking for four star plus hotel versus what we have in Lafayette now. Major investment. All on UL/state land.

A Giant parking structure / Office complex OVER the intersection of Congress and Cajun Dome Blvd.

Low land loss, instant access to the four corners of your choosing.

Seattle has something similar. We could do it. Structural engineers would make a lot of money.
One issue I haven’t seen discussed with proposed hotel is the airport approach. I think the east west runway limits the height of structures near Cajun Field. Likely it’s not brought up because my memory is heading south but I think it’s a thing.

That would make sense, but KADN/Scott Brazda was talking as if the indoor sports complex would be in the east CF parking lot.

Am I to understand this new sports complex is to be built on the grounds of Cajun football parking lot. It stated the corner of Cajundome Blvg and Congress. If so, it just proves this administration doesnÂ’t care about the Cajun Nation. So where are we to park

Have you been to a Cajuns game? The lots are basically empty lol

This is the report from KATC. https://www.katc.com/lafayette-paris...-officials-say

Looks like it will be constructed on the tract of land bordered by UHC and the Lite Center.

Would UL student athletes and coaches be able to use the facilities for practice?

I'm just confused. That was going to be where the newly proposed performing arts center would be located. But you're right, KATC is highlighting that area. Meanwhile, KADN is highlighting CF parking lot bordering Cajundome Blvd. Wish they would be more specific on where this planned indoor practice facility would be built, where the new hotel would be built, and finally if the planned performing arts academy is DOA.
