University of Louisiana President E. Joseph Savoie is requesting approval for a ground lease with Ragin’ Cajun Facilities Inc. that would nudge forward plans for a $45 million rebuild and renovation on the home field side of the university's football stadium. But the design is yet incomplete and no dates to build have been set.

The real question is does T-Joe have the funding secured to move forward with design, demolition, and construction. T-Joe has built his legacy on improving building and beautification on the academic campus. Now it’s time for him to secure funding for Cajun Field and the baseball locker rooms.

Actually, I thought the most significant statement was "Asked if the project would take several more years, Hebert said, "It's going to be sooner than that." "

You sound confident. Do you think it will begin so soon that people will not be sitting in the upper deck next season?

After all this time, how is it possible that the design is not complete and ready to go?
