UL-Lafayette has added 8,000 seats by way of an end zone expansion project. Mark Hudspeth told CoachingSearch.com last month, “The south part of Cajun Field has been bowled in. We’re going to take the capacity to about 39,000 and that will be completely finished for our opening game against Southern University on August 1. Our first two home games are against in-state opponents. We play a very good Louisiana Tech team in week two and we’re expected 45,000+ for the first two games, so it’s going to be overflow for the first two games even with the additional 8,000 seats that we’re adding."
