Where would they use the bathroom? Where would be the concessions? How would you access them? The trees are what make a large part of our atmosphere. I'd rather not do all that to accommodate 200 non-season ticket holding fans once every 14 years, no thanks. Redo the stadium
I don't like the plans for the new stadium as it looks to only add maybe 1,000 seats.
Agreed, UL should have a season ticket list being compiled with everyones Contact information that is looking to get into the Super Regional this weekend. If there ends up being 1000 or 2000 tickets being sought after by the Cajun Nation, hey that is a nice way to look at future stadium seating for the Stadium Expansion!!!
When I was president of the Baseball Executive Committee, we first created DEMAND with giving seats to the men who for years sat at the top of the grandstand and hang the K's. Many fans said hey I would pay for one of those, so a list was made for 250 seats in the middle of the grandstand and in a very short period we had all 250 sold!!! Demand! We took the list to Dr A and Nelson, seats were ordered and this was done again and again till the grandstand was complete, and completely sold out!!!
If this Regional and Super Regional is not a show of Demand then I do not know what is!
A hurricane is the only thing taking any of those pine trees down.
Ever been to Lamson? Bleacher across the whole outfield with no concessions and no bathrooms. People walk to get what they need and walk back to their seats. So it is not a far fetched idea.
With that said, I am against putting any bleachers in the outfield at the Tigue. I would be more for expanding the bleachers to the foul poles. The batting cages and bull pens would have to be tweaked/moved.
Since I'm designing a new park in my mind.... I also think they should add more seats than what they are planning to add. And please, for the sake of sanity move the light poles to the back of the bleachers and no more obstructed views.
I imagine the existing bleachers will be slid further down the lines and the grandstand will extend to be flush with the bleachers. We can add thousands of seats without touching the outfield.
You are right about connecting the bleachers and grandstand.
I think everyone would agree the bleachers being extended extended down the lines is a great idea, but from looking at the renderings, that is not the case. Everything else looks great, but unfortunately it looks as if we are adding very few seats.
I may get stoned for saying this, but can the Cajun Cooking Club be moved? Can those bleachers be extended even farther, and they setup behind them? It's not freaking rocket science....
