No it’s a dump that only looks like that when PR people dress the image up.

The truth....it’s a shithole



I’m sure Joe Aillet Stadium is God’s gift to college football, but It’s NAIA football. No one cares.

Maybe federal auditors will start checking the nonexistent books there.



Grambling and Southerns books, lol, I had a family member that used to audit them. Speaking of Louisiana colleges that need to contract

yes... the NAIA standard is 2 year contracts with championship host sites

(I work at a NAIA school in athletics)

I think the only 1 that doesn't is Kansas City for the men's basketball D1 Tournament b/c of tradition

FWIW... other NAIA championship host cities this year

men's soccer - Irvine, CA
women's soccer - Orange Beach, AL (same place the SEC tournament was played at... you could still see the SEC logo on the pitch)
softball had been in Clermont, FL but that's now going up to Springfield, MO
D1 women's basketball is Billings, Montana in March

I appreciate Grambling try to improve itself anyway possible. It was just a couple of years ago they had a players strike because the conditions for being an athlete there were unworkable
