Construction on Student Side of CF

[facelessjonmoon]

I believe it. We're about to break ground on a new house and can't get windows until October.

We broke ground, but then it has rained every day since

……..What we do need and quick is a rendering of some kind of our new stadium to show the different conferences that it will compare with our other great buildings….really basketball, baseball, softball, indoor facilities are comparable to just about all……get it done now!

Boomer…..they have published renderings of the new CF. Have you seen them? I think the new west facade will look ok, and will blend well with the APC, Tigue, etc, esp once the cox building is demo’d. The interior part of the new west side looks very nice.

Speaking of the cox building, anyone know where we are with getting a new club house/indoor batting at the Tigue? Weren’t the former players going to make that happen? I don’t see how they tear down the cox without a place for BB team to relocate to, but maybe I’m wrong about that.

The cox building houses admin staff who will have offices in the new football stadium. That's when they will demo it

Yeah I know that but what about baseball locker room? Aren’t they using cox for that?

No. They moved back to the baseball building when Deggs took over. Only Bab has an office in the Cox Building.

Well that’s great then, I did not know that. Now we can be sure it will demo’d once CF is renovated. Heck I don’t care if we don’t have the money to a champion square for a while, just make it a green space until we can.

And I hope they are also to tear down that freaking maintenance building or what ever it is in front of the Tigue. That is a real eyesore too…blocks the view to the Tigue, the apc, etc.

So the demo will likely take place sometime in 2026-27. Another year or more raising money, a year planing and completing the plans. a year on the stadium demo, two years on the stadium construction.

Negative ghost rider, the plan is to be in the new stadium either 2023 or 2024.

The maintenance building currently houses the A/C units for Cajun Field. The majority will not be needed. You will probably seeing some changes in the layout of tailgating once it is removed.

Amen. Yeah, I forgot it was ac eqpt. Not only is the building an eyesore now, but you are right…..it also hinders tailgating etc.
