#1 basically said he wishes he had been here when we redid the west side as he would have done it differently but it's too costly to do anything about it now.
#2 said it's tough to get good opponents to come to tiger stadium, lot easier to do neutral site games plus we make a ton of money for the neutral games. he wants to dial it back a little though and mentioned UCLA and Syracuse coming to BR.

I'm inclined to believe him. For his part, he's done a good job improving the aesthetics of Tiger Stadium.

It took me a while, but I am beginning to appreciate what Alleva is doing at LSU

Where did he say this?

They should at least repaint the west side. That shouldn't cost much. UCLA in tiger stadium

This is probably true. At first, it seemed like stripping the West Side facade and building arches and plaster board wouldn't be too hard. Unfortunately, it would never match because of the size differential.

Think andy staples had a good point today about neutral site games.
No incentives ($) for schools. Networks are already paying for home games through conference agreements and it would be seen as double dipping on the schools' part to then pay both schools again for the home and home.

I was listening live to this and I'll say it...I've been hard on Alleva over the years, but he really has a done a good job as AD, the Trent hire notwithstanding.
He's improved most of the facilities with others in the works (just broke ground on one for gymnastics). And he shells out for top dollar assistants in the big 3 sports that lead to continued success. Overall, I've grown to appreciate him

It may not match perfectly and I do not like some of the sez expansion but he really has improved tiger stadium tremendously. The broken windows looked like crap for decades before anyone did anything.

I absolutely hate the design of the west upper deck. I hope they can retrofit it somehow to make it look more like Tiger Stadium should.
That being said.....the south end zone looks great, and I love the improvements they've made to the windows, hard scape, and the repositioning of the advertisements in the stadium.
