Hate to jump in here and ruin everyone's win, but I think they are getting some ad space back, not the whole thing in the NEZ.

The info I got wasn't confirmed from sports properties, so I can't say that it's 100%, but my understanding was a portion of the LED ad space in the past is being given back by one sponsor, not all of them.

On a separate note, the lego bricks up top are not a finalized project. They are concessions and restrooms, but there are plans to address their aesthetics in the future. Nunez told me they will use the stadium this year as is, see how it works and then address further if needed.

I enjoy reading everyone's opinions, and apparently so does LSU Ath. Admin. It's a really cool feel to the stadium, completely different from just last season, I can't wait to see what it sounds like come GameDay.

You get any scoop on anything else in the works (other than tennis facility)?

Sports2, thanks for the info.

Is there an agreement that each video screen must display sponsors? We had 2 video boards with ads, then for 1 season only 1 board, now we have 3 video screens. It appears there will be 4 ads on each of the new video boards, plus the NEZ board will have only less sponsor?

Seems like we are adding advertising space with the new boards and not eliminating some.

Restrooms and concessions are the next phase for TS.

The external suites along NEZ are a no go, too much hassle with asbestos and the door rooms are too small and unstable if you start to break them up.

Cellular service should be improved this year, with wifi improving next year, in part due to upgrades to system and also less people on wifi w/ improvements on cellular network. I asked if sponsors (Verizon) were was a hang up and he said no, they were great.

LED lighting will match the NEZ, they're working installation now.

They redid the NEZ scoreboard, down to the LSU "purple" color that they couldn't get with old provider (Daktronics)

I really think they did their best with this. Seems like a pretty solid ingress and egress to stadium, but I'm sure there will be hiccups.

Thats good to hear. I think the lack of planning by LSU for cohesion is the issue many have with the expansion. I'm hoping they have the entire SEZ facade the stucco finish. So far its just the cross beams for the windows and the top for the arches.
