Yeah... ACT of 17 and 2.0 GPA is all you need.

Isn't it 3.0 now? With an ACT bump too?

I hate to be that guy, but I think the addition is ugly, forced, and disproportionate. I really wish we did a better job trying to keep the colisuem look properly intact.

My guess is the down vote was an accident. Happens to me on iPad sometimes too. Really wish they were further apart

Had it mirrored the North upper, the seats in the new South upperdeck would be worse and even further from the field. So I think it worked out well in the long run. And by the looks of the original, they could have gone back and continued the arches on the exterior.

I was going to post this. That may have been the plan and then years pass and they just say screw it.

Answered this earlier:

Twofold:
1.) DIdn't have the room on that side to mirror the north enclosure. Given the space constraints, they had to make the expansion double-decked instead of a single stadium slope.
2.) We needed seats fast, but we weren't yet a very wealthy athletic department, so we took a couple shortcuts with the design. Hello, ugly pillar design.

Other than S. Stadium Drive, which could have easily been rerouted a bit, there was nothing really impeding them from copying the N. Endzone design there.

Ergo, this is basically the reason. Although, it wasn't really a "need for seats fast" deal. They didn't really start filling it up until Dietzel came along. It was basically just a cost-saving deal.
I actually like the way the S. Endzone looks inside the stadium, and believe it makes for better sight lines than the original old bowl sections. It would have been nice to have done something better on the outside, though.

They did. Just on the lower level.

Great post! My wife just recently bought me this sweet black and white print thats an aerial shot of the stadium when it was just the horseshoe, very similar to that 1937 shot. I always wonder what games were like then, I just love the history that comes with our stadium and football program we're some lucky fans!!

So the new East and West uppderdecks already killed the collesium aspect of the original design and they added one row or arches on the new upperdeck.
I am happy LSU is expanding, but the designers ruined the epic stlye of Tiger Stadium once the upper decks started going up. I know the south endzone was already messed up, but it's a damn shame they lost the classic look except for on one side.
