New Swamp Turf Coming for 2017 Season

[Hark Mudspeth]

Daily decisions are often based past experiences.

July 30th gates locked, no pictures no problem.

July 31 Gates open picture taken no problem.

August 2nd Gates open pictures taken no problem.

August 7th Gates open pictures taken big problem.

After a dozen years of similar experiences (that I know of) should Frenchie have known better? I don't think so.

After being on this earth for 70 plus years, could he have asked someone? After someone telling you about the new rule? Maybe looked on the gate for the 2 foot by 3 foot sign on every single gate? You are making it a big deal, nobody else. He didn't get arrested. They don't want people on the property anymore. You are insulting the man's intelligence way more than anyone else. Your timeline is all fkd up too...goes to field but gates are locked, I tell him why and what I was told by a coach...he goes back and finds an open gate, goes in it without permission and is confronted by John Dugas about being in a closed facility. Not sure where you misunderstood anything in all this. Huge signs on every gate and door...even the tunnel gate has a sign and stays locked.

All this because of a typical government reaction. They give access to whatever building until someone (allegedly) gets hurt and files a claim. Then everyone loses the privilege of usage. Typical governmental being reactive instead of proactive. Much like the ticking lawsuit called the playpen....errrrrr north end zone. Two rent a students as "security" will be a flimsy defense in court.

Goodwill gets you (UL) nowhere when money is to be made.

Quit confusing "stays locked" with wide open gates.

Two different messages.

Closed gates were respected.

Going forward Frenchie and HelmutVII should be given a facility pass and a small stipend from the University for their documentation services.

It's not like this is unprecedented.

Quit confusing that your opinion of the new rule of the facility you aren't in charge of matters. I was denied access to the facility also and don't like it but have enough respect to follow their rules. The university has people that takes pictures for their social media. August 2 ulragincajuns Instagram posted pictures of the turf being removed. Not against that but A good way to start is contact them. If he lives that close to cajunfield then he lives that close to the athletic office. Go talk to them, you know to get permission. You are the only person confused in this conversation. Some azhole sued the university and ruined the use of it openly to the public, not just openly to the public except when turbine or fenchie think it's ok. Remember the azhole ruined that...not me. I can't use it anymore either. The signs state you aren't allowed in there regardless if the gates open, which is exactly what I was told by a coach and relayed here. That's what a closed facility is, not go ahead and do what you want if you can find a way in.

Quit bragging about your access to a coach.

I figured he had a key

[Turbine]

For the record I use to provide the University with pictures so perhaps I have an overinflated value of the service.

I said he should have known because he's a grown adult and not some snot head teenager. Again I absolutely 100% love seeing facility updates on here because I live out of state but I always assumed he was given authorization by the administration to take pictures but I guess I was wrong. Besides someone getting hurt, if it was an "open" facility, then that leads to random people going in and stealing stuff, which I think happens a lot tbh, young punks vandalizing the property and of course crazy people scooping out the facility for dangerous acts.

Is anyone randomly allowed in Tiger Stadium or any other state facility in the country? I know I'm comparing apples and bananas here but same rules apply and should always apply.

Everything you say is valid but with what is now an obvious policy change some sort of press release or education material should be readily available.

It has always been the policy that if the gates are locked, the place is closed, but open gates meant something entirely different.

Just a couple years ago fans were encouraged to come by to see the BlackJack statue at their leisure.

Change requires education.
