Cajun Field Renovation Plans

[Esqueleto]

I think 35k is a good number with expansion possibilities

we bumped close to 30k per game back in peak Hud

Listen to me. We will NEVER need more than 30k. It's not about wins or losses. It's fandom today. People are too comfortable to go to the stadium. It's just what it is. Expansion will NEVER be needed.

The only time that word never should be used is like this, never say never.

Expansion of tradition seating probably not but you have to have room to grow suites or box seats

Pretty safe to say never for this reason.
UL has too many seats and LSU has WAY too many seats. Times they are a changing. Everyone wants to watch at home. It will only get worse.

I wouldn’t say we’d never need more than 30k seats...I could envision the perfect storm season and selling out for a season or 2...that never part would come into affect for need of +30k seats for consecutive yearS....

So we going to build it for one season or 2?

Yokal is right. Build the best 30,000 seat stadium with opportunity to add 5,000 or so and charge what the market will bare.

This is my ideal Cajun Field, We redo the press box and upper deck first, then if we have to, then we make improvements to the stadium, for example bringing everything to code, and adding a canopy around the stadium, then if we need to we add seats to the NEZ, and if we need more seating after that we add a small top deck to the visitor side. We always have the option to expand if need be

No, I am in agreeance with you and Yokal...as in, I wouldn’t say never would there be a need for +30k seats...just that the need wouldn’t last long...therefore no need to accommodate +30k for 1 or 2 seasons like you say

I will throw one even better, tell me something like this would not improve the look and feel of Cajun Field?

Maybe we could consider a fabric awning around the stadium. This seems to be the new trend. It's a lot more cost effective than metal. Lots of stadium set up lighting to reflect off of the awning. We could have a red glow along the top of Cajun Field on game days. I also like what FSU did with the spears to add a little character to the awnings. We could use a fleur de lis the same way FSU used the spear to accent the roof line.
