I have no knowledge to say one way or another, I am just curious. Why do you say this?

You mean the came of cricket? Do they have a lot of Indian people in Texas?

All that money spent, and they put these cheap tables in it. I wish they would have budgeted more for the esthetics. If it looks good most people wouldn't blink an eye with the amount of money spent, that table is an eyesore.

I have been scratching my head trying to figure out how that cost $32 million. Seems insanely high

Honestly, I think the price is much more. I’ve heard 31 million from the get go, but that’s before substantial change orders just for our company. Now think about that multiplied for all the trades. Last week, the superintendent told us they found another 1M to spend so they’re going back and adding extra lights and upgrades working around football Saturdays. He says they have to spend it or they’ll lose it.

Same. The left side consists of the stairs, elevator, replay booth, and patio area.

McNeese's football band intro is actually really, really cool. Complete with a bandana wearing outlaw riding tricks on a real horse, shooting blanks from a pistol, and a multi-minute showing fron the band.

The football team, eh...

It’s a typical FCS program thet become really good for a few years then really bad for a few years. Idk why people expect Mcneese to be a juggernaut every year.

More than L.C. is worth.

They should have put that toward a decent bridge.

Because your typical LSU diehard doesn't understand what it's like to not have an endless amount of money every year.

Since when did McNeese start using “Geaux?”
