re: Tiger Stadium....

In 2005 a group had 60 Million in bonds ready to be sold for a project to restore Tiger Stadium. In private meetings the plan was approved, the TAF was going to be a partner to it and in May of that year the group was told that they would receive the RFP in 60 days. Well Katrina hit and that was the end of that. All politicians cared about was not messing up and the project was halted. The same group offered to build a free baseball stadium using a design that would have the stadium ringed by leased space, condos' etc and it would have paid for itself, giving LSU the pre-eminant baseball facility in college athletics. Skip turned that down as well. I could write a book on why things don't happen. Can someone tell me what miracle has to happen for things to happen?

Bond market is dead, so that project can not be financed.

The same guys that tore down the old tiger cage instead of using it in the new design are going to be in charge of fixing Tiger Stadium. You wouldn't believe what some of the designs included. It was unimaginable.

There will be many more questions like this, but the answers are hard to come by.
