I know its been a while.but why did we stop doing the mardi gras tourney? I remember going watch UL play Nebraska, hitting a parade, then going back to watch more baseball.


What was the reason we stopped doing that tourney?

Part of the reason may have been the conflict with the parking lot. The Lafayette Mardi Gras association leases the entire Cajun Field parking lot for their yearly celebration. I know parking has been an issue with this in the past as parking fees are charged for the Mardi Gras. I think Tony mentioned they typically just try to schedule a road weekend for Mardi Gras.

I think it can be made to happen! I like the idea too. Bring in a team every year that is from a part of the country that does not celebrate Mardi Gras and will bring as many fans as possiblethis will lead to ultimate success in a "Mardi Gras" baseball/softball tournament weekend.

The Nebraska series was a 4 game series that just so happened to be over Mardi Gras weekend.
