I was wondering what the hell was going on. When I went to the site for a visit it only had a message that said it the site was "down for maintenance"!!! I guess I didn't get there quick enough to see the post that was in question before the site was shut down.

There was a 7 or 8 page thread talking about the decision to not move forward with a development proposal for all the non used acreage surrounding the athletic complex. The deal was stated to be a 25yr no liability lease for total value of nearly $30M PER YEAR.

The large sum was tied into renovation of Cajun Field. Or that was my understanding. The developers had done economic surveys and traffic surgery and brought the proposal to the university after completing all the leg work. There were already 12 major retailers committed to the project before it was presented including Bass Pro.

Also rumored to have declined a sponsorship deal for Russo Park with Walk Ons building a patio restaurant or something to that effect at the stadium and would build the clubhouse to finish out the total project. Which was denied or not moving forward because of the crap LSU had to deal with regarding their $28M dolor athletic renovation. It was about optics IMO. This project is less substantiated than the other development. Though so that may just be rumor.

Some very prominent fund raisers within the university resigned over the retail/entertainment development though.

A lease for $30M per year for 25 years? Don't think so. That would be $750M.

I’m just relaying what was on the site. Much of that total cost was supposedly for complete stadium reconstruction. Both of the prominent developers are multi-billionaires.

Also, never underestimate the ineptitude of our administration.

I know right? Keep in mind that’s just to rent, not own. It’s like in one swell swoop all of the problems would’ve been solved, from Cajun field to the Tigue clubhouse, etc etc. And the only thing that stopped it all was the ‘Marxist’ dr S. It’s takes an extremely huge leap of the imagination to buy this especially when you consider all that he has done since he started.
But that is some great property and it will one day be a gold mine for the school.

He may or may not be a Marxist. But he has openly supported an organization that has publicly stated their Marxist views and intentions. Birds of a feather flock together.

I don't guess we will ever know the truth (both sides), but I would love to hear why Dr. S would have turned down that kind of offer if it was even close to that. What use is a gold mine if you never use it?

I have always been told, "where there is smoke, there is usually fire"!

And I was taught and still believe to hold judgement until all the facts are in. I will not condemn a man based solely on internet rumors. Especially someone who has proven himself time and again since his arrival.

They pay 30 mil a year plus building costs of the development. How do you make money off of that in Lafayette Louisiana? What control of the facilities does the school have after.

750 mil plus is an amount of money that doesn't make sense business wise at all

OK, i really had no idea about this

So what's the business plan if this is to be true?


They pay 30 mil a year plus building costs of the development. How do you make money off of that in Lafayette Louisiana? What control of the facilities does the school have after.

750 mil plus is an amount of money that doesn't make sense business wise at all

And that doesn’t even consider for the all infrastructure that would needed in roads, water/sewage, etc

Yeah I didn't even consider that part as well. I just cannot see how it makes financial sense for the company doing this unless the plan was to structure it all as a "donation" in which case good on you guys for not commiting tax fraud


The 6 million horse farm kinda sounds weird as well. That's a lot to spend on a horse farm anywhere in Louisiana. Is this dude some sort of Chinese billionaire or something
