I say take the handicap seats and make them into eyes, then weave the purple seats through the gold ones to make it look like a tiger when its empty. I know it sounds gay, but i bet it would look cool.

Here is an example of a modern stadium using green seats. This is North Carolina's remodeled Boshamer Stadium (opening Spring 2009). Green just seems to be a common "neutral" color for stadium seats.

Also, the gold and purple chair backs are wider (22" as opposed to 19") than the green chair backs. It's a way for LSU to differentiate the level of donations and give a little more something in return.

In addition to being wider, the purple and gold seats are padded (gold have padding on seat bottom and purple/gold field box have padding on bottom and back).

I don't really mind the green seats, since there will be purple and gold as well. But I'm not a fan of the green fence going all the way around the stadium. I think a good shade of purple would look better. Does anyone know what the outfield fence will look like when they finish it?? Maybe after putting retired numbers and all our accomplishments on it will look beter.
