Louisiana has 1 fortune 500 company left in the entire state (in North LA).

Memphis has 3 within its city limits, with one in the Fortune 50.

Even so, would be a hard sell to deep pockets to invest up to $200 million in a stadium in a program that could be left out of the P5 conferences, and in this potential era of decline in CFB with all of the flux going on.

Its been crickets from the university on where the CF reno stands...Does anyone have an update? My guess is the original 65 Mil budget is now 70 plus for the same design. Prices only going to go up.

Current inflation is greater than that.

Sigh... 'lent' past tense of lend.

'Lend me some money but don't tell nobody.'

Well, fortune 500 helps, but we are not building pro stadium. Its about relationships and it seem with all the staff that UL fundraising has, Nico and Maggard are bringing in the big bucks. Also, the Executive Director of Development is working remote from New Hampshire! Sorry, but you need to be on the ground in Lafayette!
