UL has big decision to make on Cajun Field renovation

[facelessjonmoon]

I feel like the cajundome has had more events in the last 6 months than the last 6 years

I agree. It definitely seems that way

We all know what changed

Announce a plan, show the renderings, quote the price tag, ask for donations and keep a visible display of where we stand regularly. If people see progress they are more likely to donate more frequently even if small amounts.

Why can't we ask to donate at concessions like every other store does for MDA, children's hospital, or whatever other item they are looking to collect for? Seems like I can't buy anything these days without asking for a donation. Quarters ultimately lead up to dollars.

This is brilliant.

Not because it solves the puzzle, rather it makes the puzzle solvable.

Every aspect of fundraising is a piece of the puzzle.

Just like with recruiting, you can't afford your first HOW pitch to need explanations all 6 of the W's.

Who, What, Where, Why, When and Win.

The brilliance of your idea is that it keeps the project top of mind, while simultaneously solving one piece of the puzzle. Awareness

To go a step further, my kids school always have local restaurant nights that donate a portion of profits back to the school. Surely we can ask our supporters for 1-2 days/year to help in this capacity. While these programs alone won't fund a new stadium I think it should just be one of the many avenues the university should have planned to get the needed funds.

Example: If Pete's announced that for all away football games they will donate 5% of proceeds back to UL on purchases in the restaurant. I would have to think that more people would show up, hopefully buy more and know that they are making a donation to a cause they support without writing a big check. It's easier for many people to give a little bit more often than a larger sum just once.

12% severance tax is killing Louisiana. The lawsuits were a cost of doing business when oil was $75+ a barrel.

So that would be a "yes" for amendment 1?

Where it belongs, in the trash can.
