BTW, they are adding lights to the west side upper deck that will shine underneath the bleachers similar to the north and newly constructed south endzone.


Really looking forward to seeing these.

Hopefully the "Welcome to Death Valley" sign is more readable than in all images I've seen


the scaffolding obstructs it a lot, I'm sure it will be really visible and readable in person during games...especially at night when it is lit up.

Carpet looks like Commercial Carpet you see in Malls. I am sure when you get a lot of people in there walking around you really going to notice the carpet. Tell me the last Mall you went into and the color of the carpet?

Does anybody know if they plan on putting stucco on the entire SEZ facade?

The arches area on top is stucco and the cross beams in the window secion and the side areas. But the large vertical and horizontal pieces are bare concrete.

It looks really odd having stucco in parts and concrete on the others and its been that way for several weeks now. Looks like all the equipment used for that has been moved too.

With an Aug 22 completion date, doesnt look like it'll be done. From the renderings it looked like LSU was going to have a uniform color on the SEZ but doesnt appear to be the case.

At least have a side that has uniform color. It's definately noticeable with the bare concrete next to the stucco.

I wish they would have used the same paint as the NEZ and been done with all this BS.

I wonder if they're planning on using the same paint as the NEZ on the unfinished Concrete areas on the SEZ? Would that help ? Gray on the concrete and Tan stucco ?

It looks like the number plates on these chairs are a little crooked. Is that for real or an optical illusion?

Yet another case of where the carpet doesn't match the drapes...

because they are curved inward and perspective is from underneath.

Nothing with LSU surprises me anymore, but it would look awful if they used the same paint as the NEZ and put it on the bare concrete areas on the SEZ right next to the very clean light tan/whitish stucco.
