re: TS renovations - renderings

As TV revenues have increased exponentially, schools seem to realize that they may have over-expanded their stadiums.

The problem remains, however, of consistently filling the seats they have.

They are competing with TV. They have to convince ticket buyers that staying at home shouldn't be an option.

Turning the entire stadium into permanent, chairback seats should be LSU's first priority. Restroom facilities should be second. Improved, more accessible concession stands should be priority No. 3.

If LSU doesn't address all those things, more and more people will opt to remain at home. And no one should blame them.

If LSU were to lose, say, 20,000 seats by switching to chairbacked seating, the stadium's capacity would still be 82,000. Plus, they could justify increasing the ticket prices to offset the number of lost seats.
