How Broussard Sports Complex scored $21 million in 2025 revenue

My last very last concern would be on getting them into the stadium.

As long as the parking lot looks "happening" it will draw drive by game goers.

Big off season event coming up for "ULL" at that new stadium,

Everything is a "Festival" nowadays. When are they bringing back the Car Sale Festival to Cajun Field?

Need it during the game when we play CARolina

Funny how accounting (and reporting) for Louisiana Athletics and Broussard Sports Complex is viewed completely differently.

LA: Only Dollar out, dollar in to directly to/from program considered.

BSC: Every penny spent acknowledged while visiting Acadiana.

Regardless of how Louisiana Athletics supposed deficit is being framed the $500,000 the city gives the Cajundome Commission gives us a small peek into the true value of Louisiana Athletics brings to the community.

Nobody noticed what the coffee festival used as the stadium name?

I was about to object, but why not?

If students can get paid beyond scholarships, why can't universities own pro teams

Trust me, you DO NOT want to own any of these small pro teams. I know former owners personally and it's a money pit. Many leagues are poorly run, sell you a dream, then disappear and leave you with tons of debt.

Article regarding UL defecit should be re-titled

"Louisiana Athletics generates $33M in revenue despite community support"

Watching Olympic Womans Hockey wife was telling me there is a Pro Woman Hockey League the PWHL so my take is
I don’t think we have to own a professional team ourselves, but I’ll be honest there are real openings in women’s pro sports right now. You’ve got the PWHL growing fast, the WPF ( Pro Womans Fast Pitch) sitting at four teams and actively trying to add a fifth, the NWSL (Pro Womans Soccer League) continuing to rise, and the WNBA yeah, I doubt we’d ever land that one.

But that’s exactly why I keep coming back to this idea. I really believe Lafayette and UL should be pushing hard to get into women’s professional sports. It could be a legit game changer for the city and the university. We already have the facilities, the sports culture, the fan base, and the regional pull. We’re built for something like this especially in leagues that actually want mid‑market stability and community engagement.

If we positioned ourselves the right way, Lafayette could become a real hub for women’s pro athletics.

They’re not. Car market changed with Covid. They’re charging above MSRP on many cars and hold back inventory in the supply chain; hence dealers have the upper hand in 2026.

Not disagreeing. I doubt they have the mind set to pull it off.

I do wonder how much venue costs come into play in those failures.

How many of those small pro teams own their own stadium?
