What Tiger Stadium will do better than any other stadium in the conference is make more money per seat per game than any other stadium will for any of the other schools in the conference.

Again...Tiger Stadium has the best combination of seats, suites, premium seating overall, and the highest amount of chair back seating overall among all the stadiums in the conference.

quote:
So to compare the four largest stadiums...

1) Tiger Stadium - Fourth-largest, second-most suites (highest total suite capacity, all have a capacity of 23), second-most premium seating in SEC. Also has most chair back seats in SEC stadiums.

2) Bryant-Denny Stadium - Third-largest, most suites (most are fairly small at 16 capacity, with a few at 23), fourth-most premium seating in SEC.

3) Kyle Field - Largest, fifth-most suites (Founder's Suites will be largest suites in SEC), third-most premium seating in SEC.

4) Neyland Stadium - Second-largest, fourth-most suites, fifth-most premium seating in SEC.

That's the main stadiums you have to compare Tiger Stadium to, because those are the ones most similar to Tiger Stadium in terms of seats, suites, and premium seating overall.

And out of the four, Tiger Stadium has the most chairback seats overall, and the most premium seating of all types overall. That's just the facts.

Does it need upgrades? Yes. The good news is, upgrades are being studied as we speak...

quote:
And Alleva said LSU is looking into improving the restrooms at Tiger Stadium — which might become necessary if beer sales are ever approved.

On what could happen to the old dorms in Tiger Stadium:

"It’s full of asbestos, so it all would have to be abated. The plumbing is shot. The electrical is shot. The ceilings are really low. It’s a really low ceiling, so aesthetically it limits what you can do. One of the things that we have the architect looking at now, and goes back to the fan experience, we have them looking into the possibility of creating more restroom space out of that dorm space, renovated space for particularly women’s restrooms. Women are really particular about that. So it we could create more restroom space, that would be a real advantage for us.

based on your reply to my post - it looks like you are now saying LSU will make the most money per seat. that to me is different than saying it is the best stadium and/or the best place to see a football game.

i have no clue if LSU will make the most per seat. i dont doubt you - but i have no comment on that. just purely my opinion on design - to be perfectly frank i think the south addition is really terribly designed.

as for the "guts" of the north and other areas - i dont see the floor to floor heights or things like that being much of an issue. who says they need to keep it as is in terms of floor plates? hell, knock out a few areas of floor plates to create large internal volumes. there are alot of things you can do.just leave critical areas (or add in steel beams) to ensure lateral forces are resisted etc...

hopefully if/when its done it will not be the designer of the south endzone.
