Tech has it's attendance issues, our fanbase is very inconsistent but I can't understand why uLL would opt to expand their stadium when they couldnt fill it prior to the endzone addition. I was down for the Tech ULL game & was very surprised that Cajun Field wasn't close to being full, especially after all the Cajun trash talk.....that was supposed to be their "coming out party" & their 1st year of football dominance.

I've wondered that myself. I applaud Tulane for building their stadium the way they did. The size fits the crowds they have now. I never understood expanding for the sake of expanding.
The Cajuns have had some very impressive crowds at Cajun Field and I'll give them credit for that, but never the consistency game after game that warranted a seating expansion. I would have gone with more upgrades over expansions.

Though its been posted here a ton:

The new Cajun Field seating will provide several thousand more seats in the facility, which will be needed to allow for the Tier 2 construction without losing the use of Cajun Field or playing with a diminished capacity for a season.
quote:
Tier 2 is what Farmer called the “meat” of the master plan, and includes an eight-story, 23,000-square-foot structure behind the current west side of Cajun Field to house athletic administration offices as well as providing the structure with 1,200 club-level seats, 128 loge seats, 37 box suites and a new press box facility. The plan also includes renovation or reconstruction of the upper west side to accommodate the new box structure.
Bowling in the endzone was done in "Tier 1" because in "Tier 2" the west upperdeck will be renovated or demolished. Bowling in the endzone offsets the loss of that seating.
