Bullpen should be enclosed, Yes.

But we talking LSU corner cutting at it's best...

This new field should have the bullpen outside the playing area. Kind of late to do that now.


Yes, LSU went on the cheap on the new Alex box in several areas. for example the bleacher seating should have been ONLY in the outfield(Left Field Landing & Diamond Deck). Most All Minor League stadium have chair back seating down the lines.



When you making something new , No reason to cut corners like this.



These could have been extended down the lines.




An other is the stucco face of the box. I'm not saying it looks terrible, but it could have been a lot better. Not a baseball looking entrance , maybe a Outlet Mall or apartment complex. The Alex Box sign is Very Cheap looking and Small. (Get better Fonts and Bigger Letters) .. I guess the same company designed the West side of Tiger Stadium.

Have to admit, I was unimpressed the first time I entered.

Still love it, but could have been better for probably the same price.

I agree , I hope they look into upgrading areas of the box. I think all points are valid.

The stucco face of the box, Is a perfect example of Bad design, no real baseball feel to it.

The bullpen location, just a carry over from the old box. No thought into it.

The bleacher seating should have been ONLY in the outfield(Left Field Landing & Diamond Deck).

I want the box to be the Best College ball park in the nation, sadly its one of the newest but not one of the best. because of "cutting corners"
