    We are basically bonded out with on campus facilities. This is why we are having to raise more funds for the stadium renovations. It will have to be constructed with a smaller amount of bonds.

    It is kind of funny seeing people who did not attend a game in years saying the atmosphere in the Cajun Dome is dead. The last 2 games showed that the Dome can be a good venue when folks show up. I had season tickets when Jesse was here and there were many times that the Dome was rocking. It can happen again. Blackham is an eyesore that needs to leveled as soon as possible. I attended the "throwback' game there several years back and it was and is disgusting. Every now and then someone floats this idiotic idea that Blackham can be a nice arena again with money that we don't have. It will never happen and it shouldn't.

    Show up for basketball at the Dome and you can be part of the solution.

    Showing up doesn't solve a single problem with any measurable results. Doesn't change the concessions, the impossibility of ad revenue, the cavernous emptiness, the lack of schedule control, the awful atmosphere and certainly doesn't change the mediocre product we've been served up for the better part of a decade.

    Renovate Blackham.

    The structure of the Cajun Dome doesn't work anymore.

    It's time to make the second level all club seating and put curtains up in the 3rd level. Force all other seating into the 1st level.

    That's what I thought they were going to do last remodel.

    I’m not sure how one could take that away from the last couple games. Announced 3K crowds. 1.5k or so butts in seats. Almost 10k empty seats. Even if we get to excellent 5K crowds it’s over half empty. Whether we should renovate or build something new aside, the Dome will NEVER be what we need for a basketball venue.
