LAFAYETTE - The University of Louisiana at Lafayette announced today that it has raised three-fourths of the funding for the second phase of renovations for the Russo Park Stadium Project and is preparing to launch a public solicitation Friday.
"We have commitments for 75 percent of the $16.8 million renovation from individual and corporate contributors. Now, we're seeking the community's support," said Jim Harris, executive director of the Ragin' Cajuns Athletic Foundation.
M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field at Russo Park opened the first week of March, with construction and fundraising efforts continuing as home games are played.
