Our Lady of Lourdes Stadium gives Cajuns and community a showpiece to rally around

It has been really great the first two home games. Can't wait to get back at it Saturday vs. Marshall.

I agree. The upgrades on the west side are very nice.

With the looming budget cuts, I'm not going to hold my breath about the east side getting done anytime soon.

Yes!

It's going to be PERFECT Tailgate/Football weather this weekend. Can 't wait.

Agree. Team is not performing up to our standards, but at least we have the nice new stadium experience and great weather. Remember there is some hope. We are 5 total points from being 3-1.
Still think we can win this one Saturday vs. Marshall.

It will get done. The budget cuts are from the operating fund. The East side is being funded through the state capital outlay funding.

Yep. So close to 3-1, and I think we WILL win Saturday.

Good info. Important for everyone to know that the stadium will be finished. We will continue to have top of G6 facilities across the board.

There will be riots when news of the state funding the East side renovations drops on a statewide level

Same process of funding that LSU uses.

It has been public info for well over a year now.

And if by “riots” you mean a bunch of miserable and ignorant people ranting on Facebook, then yeah. But what’s new?

It may be public information, but not widely known, YET

This^^^

Based on the misfire of announcing the start of the west side (on national tv no less), the current fiscal issues on campus, and the state inability to grasp their own fiscal issues, I don’t see this happening as advertised.

I do appreciate the fact UL, if the east side happens as advertised, UL will basically have a new stadium, abet piecemeal, compared to pre 2000.

UL cannot go to the state and ask for a bailout for the university and then turn around and ask for sports infrastructure money. The “sportsball” crowd would rise up.
