New Survey

If there will be true Tailgating areas in the stadium, I guarantee you it will not be reasonably priced. That is going to be just as pricey as the indoor suites will be.

Well we need to gear it more for the casual fans who just want to have fun, and enjoy the cULture. Make it where they can enjoy a drink, mingling with fans, and having a burger before the game, and watching a football game on the big screen before the game, and they will stay in the stadium for the game. Plus students would want to just come in and hang out enjoy themselves before the game as well, and visitors.

What we could do is offer tailgating spots in the NEZ, along with the Parish Terrace but that all needs to be kept in the NEZ, but keep the rest open to the public to come in and enjoy themselves.

Here is an idea for the visitor side concourse level at the top, but with bar stools so people can sit. Keep the seating on the east end just like it is. Is hard liquor an option lol? Doing something like this at the top of the visitor side probably wouldn't even cost that much.

This is UCF plan but we could do something like this across the visitor concourse, minus the palm trees etc. Put some TV's, play some music that visitor side (east side) be rocking ! It would have to be covered though



This is not UCF but to me this setup is the best! This is how it should be with bar stools and chairs!

Excited about all of these Ideas. Up on my wish list would be a permanent pavilion with a nice stage/tailgating area, like a mini championship square I guess. If we could just take the Lafayette downtown main stage and plop it where the cox bldg is Of course, redesign the stadium with suites, have the band learn a few more 'in between play' songs so we don't have to listen to that same sucky tune like 100 times. A/C the bathrooms so there won't be a slipping hazard with all of the humidity on the floor. Adjust the PA level to prevent hearing impairment. Oh, and above all, schedule more big name schools at home if that's possible. Oh, and Advertise the RCAF more. I've never seen one TV commercial that I can remember

They can have mid field again when they pay a student assessed athletic fee like most universities around the country.

At least this.

This would nice in the north end zone with the grass being terraced like the above pic.

With all this talk we are sure going into the bar business and getting away from a football game. JMO..

I say this every time a stadium thread comes up.

If there are 5,000 people in Acadiana willing to pay $200 more to sit in a “premium seat,” UL has better have 5,000 of those seats waiting for them.

Yeah, the more I've had time to think about it, turn the whole NEZ into this....turn the concourse into something like 9221's pic above, and the bowl area into the terraced Parish concept. Keep it simple and not outrageously expensive and it'll be fantastic.

I just took the survey. I emphasized my greatest focus would be to provide more covered seating to deal with the sun, particularly on the east side. I also noticed that the three price ranges they talked about for chairback seating was $67, $83, and $100. Are there enough people willing to pay those prices? I also said I am an old fashioned fan. I have a good time if the team wins and a terrible time if they lose. It is that cut and dry for me with all the other stuff being a lot of fluff. I recognize not everyone looks at it that way and I respect those other views. I also understand a more up to date stadium can help with recruiting.
