It fits in perfectly. It looks like it was part of the original construction. Very nice. Thanks.

Update on our EZF. Interior renderings. Going to be pretty nice for the players going from locker rooms with mold and no hot water to this. Should be done before fall!
Louisiana Tech will begin construction on a new Press Box/Suites after 2017 season. There will also be some bathroom and concourse renovations associated with new construction.

Louisiana Tech submitted plans to the Board of Supervisors for their approval but wont be able to begin construction until they money is raised. They solicited funds for over three years for their end zone bldg and finally had to induce the students to vote a fee upon themselves in order to issue bonds to cover over half the cost which the students will be paying off now over the next 22-23yrs. Probably wont be able to get them to give any more so its wait and see as to whether the fans will pony up for this project.

Most of the funding for this project is already in hand and it is very likely to start construction after the end of the 2016 season. They have decided to see how much additional money they can get to improve the final product. The endzone project was originally 18 million but finished at 22 million with upgraded/additional interior upgrades.

Must be a heavy hitter booster in the background on this as there has been no public announcement of fund raising, etc. If Tech relies on their general fan base for the money then you are looking at several years, if history repeats itself. Remember it took 3yrs or so to raise the $9mil added to the student bond issue to get the SEZ project completed. The STRUCTURE for that end zone project cost $14mil. If the new add ons can garner that much money then they should be able to make it look good.

Yep and your numbers are off on the endzone deal. This is my last reply to you here so post away to yourself if you want.

The only numbers I mentioned regarding the end zone project was the STRUCTURE cost $14mil and that is a FACT. That DOES NOT include furnishings, insurance, landscaping, new parking, reserves, etc which can be stretched out into infinity. The info on fund raising and financing is a FACT. So, what numbers are you thinking about that are off. You obviously had rather believe "hearsay" than actual documented details between the Board of Supervisors and the Tech administration.

If you want to see something funny, click on EE's "reputation" points. LOL! 13 of his last 15 reps came from "LACajunsFan" with the other two coming from Herd fan "Thunderground". Was there ever any doubt about EE being a UL-Laughyette fan? That's just sad.

What would being a UL Lafayette fan have to do with the cost of Techs end zone project? That cost was administered by the Tech administration, the contractor, the Board of Supervisors, and the Board of Regents. Also, if anyone checks my "reputation" points as you suggest be sure to look at the negatives posted by the boys from Dogpatch.

But think how great my grades would be if not for all the "F"s bestowed upon me by the boys from Dogpatch. I could be on the deans list and honor roll.

Just think how great your grades would be if you weren't a prevaricating con artist spending your entire life pretending to be a USM fan that fabricates deceitfulness and dishonesty about LA Tech.
