Is that a construction cam?

It's larger on the home side. I never noticed until they started this either, but our two halves of the stadium weren't symmetrical. So our remaining grazz endzone will be slightly larger on the home side than on the student/away side.

The original Cajun Field sat 26,000. Early 80's they added the two wings on the lower student section on each end. That brought the capacity to 31,000. You can see the additions if you look at the student side. That makes the section on the new end zone bigger on the home side to meet up with the existing seating.

That little addition on the home side in the north end zone was also part of the project to balance the east/west sideline seating.

It could be an optical illusion, or I'm just looking at it wrong but it seems like the 1980's addition was designed for a steeper grade and wasn't fully considering the bowl aspect.

You are partially correct. The original "seating capacity" was 24,000 (I think the exact number was 24,640). Later, they re-numbered the bench seats closer together and the the same configuration now "seated" 26,000.

As you mentioned, the expansion in the 80s to 31,000 was necessary to stay in 1-A because as an independent we had to have 30,000 minimum.

That was about the time I saw Boomer sneaking into the construction sight on Wednesday. No telling what kind of damage he did. The Ricks did not accompany him, so they are in the clear.

Why is our camera a 15 second picture instead of a constant view?
