Besides the extra seats, the new expansion also includes some new added bells and whistles.

"The south end zone addition brings much more to Tiger Stadium than just seats," LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said in the release. "As part of the expansion we have added two high-definition video boards, two additional LED ribbon boards and replaced the two LED ribbon boards that already existed in the stadium all in an effort to enhance the in-game experience for our fans.

"We are also in the process of installing a stadium-wide system that will allow our fans to have better cellular connectivity, which has become such a big part of the fan experience."

Don't forget, this past spring LSU resealed the concrete for the 3/4ths of the stadium that hadn't been resealed yet. The south end zone was resealed just prior to the beginning of construction on the SEZ expansion. As part of that, all the seats were removed, inspected, and either repaired or replaced as needed.

Also the north end zone video board was worked on as well...



...between the new corner video boards and the two new ribbon screens, we should see the ads spread out a lot more than past years.

And don't forget, both the home and visitors locker rooms are being redone....



Add in all the improvements outside the stadium, and this year the fan experience improved tremendously. And it was already very good!

Basically, the best just got better!

since I have no other way of checking scores while in the stadium outside of staring at that ribbon board and hoping I don't blink while a score goes by.

Looks great!

Is it white though?


Whatever I'm sure it will weather and be a duller color or they could just match the rest or something.

Still looks awesome.

I sit in the south end zone. I will be impressed if The Coca Cola and McDonalds ads don't blind me as I look at the screen.

From the picture it looks like the all the advertising is in purple?

It really looks like a lot of complaints were listened too.

You cannot honestly think this looks good. Nothing goes together. It looks like pieces of three completely different style stadiums.

The stadium looks nicer now than it has in years. Alleva did this right.
