Original Football Stadium Plans {i-camera}

[Turbine]

As viewed from due north here is a sketch of Cajun Field (aka The Swamp ) as originally sold to fans in the 1967-68 football media guide. It shows:

Wide upper levee walks ( south-east walk completed in 2003 link )

Narrow lower leveee walks encircling interior of stadium.

Full End Zone seating

2 upper decks

Walks encircling exterior of stadium.

Athletic complex expanded to levee

parking background blacked out

Turbine, thanks for the picture. It really looks good, despite the age. Hopefully one day we'll get there. I'd like to see some of the new phases (& updated ones!) coming on-line in the forseeable future, say in the next 5-8 years. That would be a very strong sign of growth in the program. I know we are not ready yet for that but I hope that day is not so far off. I think with Bustle at the helm, it is realistic to start thinking in this direction again.

Turbine, there used to be an artist's rendition in the athletic complex years ago that had the upper deck completly encircling the stadium. Have you ever seen that one?

No, but it would be fun to look at.

We are not ready for expansion, but I think the time is nearing for a renovation of existing facilities. It would be great to have the stadium back to original new condition, plus some upgrades to restrooms and concessions as well as a few luxury boxes to reward high rollers who give $$$$$$$ to support the programs.
Just my 2 cents worth
