Major Facility Upgrade Press Conference Set for Tuesday

[Dwayne From Minden]

It makes my seats in DD cooler...

[NathanDarby]

I love it. Looks incredible. I love what Dr. Guice is getting done, amazing what some good leadership will do. Can't wait to see this in person. Now all we need is to spruce up the east side, and then connect the two sides via the north endzone pedestrian plaza/beer garden.

I do have one question....where are they getting the projected $1MM in revenue? Using my good 'ol Tech math, $1MM annually divided by 13 suites is $76,923.08 per suite. That's a pretty expensive suite.

I was wondering that too. Naming rights to the suites maybe?

[LATECH87]

I saw that after I asked. East side needs love too, especially in the restroom/concessions arena. And it would be a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of the rest.

100%......I believe that's probably next in line

PER SHREVEPORT TIMES :
"The project will be funded through private donations with an expected completion date of September 2017 in time for Tech's home opener against Northwestern State. Tech athletic director Tommy McClelland says the new facility, along with the south end zone facility that debuted in 2015, will bring in more than $1 million annually."

From outside of stadium

Absolutely. Beautiful. This looks BIG TIME. I would love to see us enclose the east and west concourses.

I would imagine the suites will be sold to corporate partners? That's who I'd target.

[THEarmada]

Very impressed with this fund raising campaign! Thanks to Tommy Mccleland for this leadership and thanks to the donors who made this happen.

[LATECH87]

Will suite "owners" have to buy tickets as well?

[Dowty]

So we're going back to having TECH in the end zones, too?

[LATECH87]

Absolutely. Beautiful. This looks BIG TIME.

In this day and age we need more BIG time corp sponsors. I think this will be a catalyst for more money and interest to be pumped into our school and athletic programs.

[LATECH87]

Is it just me, or is anyone else missing the big "Louisiana Tech" under the skybox?

Isabella stated the $1MM includes SEZ

Will suite "owners" have to buy tickets as well?

Typically purchase of a suite comes with X tickets included. I think the Saints suites come with 16 tickets.

Will shade the west side team quicker too! Possibly bring more shade to the east side crowd?

[LATECH87]

You didn't quite finish the math. The $76923 is what EACH suite would bring in a year (spread over est. 6 games) if you divide that by say 6 games it comes to $12-13k per game for each suite

Actually that's probably $50k per suite times 13 to make it $650,000 for the Skybox alone ( not including food, drinks, booze and maybe a corp signage) ok so divide that by 6 games that's $8,333.33 per game.....then add in the SEZ and additionals ( food, booze, etc.)

maybe a little over $1mm a year
