Louisiana Ragin Cajuns Offer Fans Something Other Stadiums Don’t

The exciting renovations to Cajun Field continue and will be ready for the 2025 football season. At this week's game, fans will still be offered something other stadiums don't offer. The excitement of Cajuns football continues for the Cajuns this weekend as we host the 2024 Hercules Tires Sun Belt Football Championship Game this Saturday.

The Cajuns face off against the Marshall Thundering Herd for the Hercules Tires Sun Belt Championship title. The game starts at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, December 7, at Cajun Field. The game will air nationwide on ESPN for the seventh straight season.

The new name will be Our Lady of Lourdes Stadium. These changes are just a preview of other major changes coming for the entire university.

Our university in Lafayette is home to some wonderful things, including tailgating, amazing sports, and one of the greatest things offered at any sporting event in college football: the ability to buy a Natural Light for $2. The Natty Light offering is a huge treat for fans, and you will not find that at some other stadium.

Be sure that if you haven't gotten your tickets for the game Saturday night you do that now and join everyone for tailgating in the afternoon to show your support for the Cajuns.
