It is great to see UL and other SBC schools upgrading their stadia and other facilities. Someday soon, hopefully, USA will follow suit. We can hold out only so long as others continue to pass us by. But, hey, our bucket of bolts has tradition and history.

Actually when all 5 phases to the renovations to Cajun Field are complete, the seating capacity will be 67,000.

Do your fans have some capacity number in mind? Apparently you do not need a 30K stadium as in the past per the new TooLAME stadium.

I'm envious of the Cajun's football facilities.

The numbers that have been floated around are 35-40k for an OCS. I believe USA hopes to have the Senior Bowl, GoDaddy, or both, moved from Ladd to our OCS and needs to at least have a comparable capacity to do so.

We will never get there so we can stop touting 67,000 seats.

We will complete Phase II, hopefully we complete all of Phase II which includes matching upper decks that will bring capacity up to around 52k.

Phase 2 finished capacity will be around 46,000...about the same as TCU

IMO that is where we should stop and then work on devoting money to the stand alone projects that can help other sports.
