I guess our upper deck/concourse is going to resemble what Arkansas has:

Good catch! I'd like to see LSU put in some loge seating in front of those boxes, similar to Mizzou's:

It does seem like they would have some room between the upper club seats and the GA seats.

I guess they wouldn't, because that would defeat the purpose of the SRO:



...oh well. Maybe someone else has a better idea.

Is that area planned to be part of SRO? I've been wondering where those areas would be.

SRO is the areas under the twin video boards and the very top IIRC. When viewed in that aerial, doesn't seem like there's gonna be a lot of room for SRO up top.

Yeah, not a lot of room at all:

I mean I'm sure its gonna look great when finished but the design still kind of irks me. They pretty much gave a middle finger to the original purpose of the upper decks curving around toward each other like that.

It's been posted before, but it would great if they could put another deck up on top to not only cover up those -fabulous- concession stands, but also meet up with the upper decks on each side.

Wouldn't need to be another concrete pour. An erector set, nicely covered up, would serve that purpose.

The east and west decks curving towards one another does at least help the suites levels look flush, which is nice. As for putting a few more rows of seats to block the view of the concourse, I completely agree.

I think when they make the Seating Chart Official for the South End Zone it is going to be a big deal like the Largest Stadium in the SEC!

maybe they dont update it anymore daily. they use to because i check it daily and you could see the cranes in different positions. there isnt a whole lot to see on 3/4 views anymore so they probably stopped with the daily updates.

Looks like a LOT of work to be done in less than 6 months given it's taken 16 months to get to this point.

But it does look awesome!

Love how nicely the suites connect to those in the east upper. Looks great.

I agree. Favorite part

Do you think the two screens are going to look awkward being placed so high?
