Dimensions of Tiger Stadium

I'm trying to find out how tall the concrete part of the stadium is and how long it is from north score board to the south score board. Anyone know how to find this unusual info? Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure you can go get a copy of all of the architectual drawings from the city hall archives, although i dont know what costs would be or exactly who you would talk to.

How accurate do you need it? Go to GoogleEarth and use the measuring stick thingy.

There was a thread on this last year, someone who posted in it worked on the west upper construction and had the exact numbers...
Do a search for it...

That is what I thought. You are about to be on a few do not fly lists.

Measuring stick thingy? Juice is that a highly technical engineering term??

It's tough to estimate a height, because there are few conventionally storied buildings at grade with the stadium. It is approaching 500' from end to end, and that's a good guess for scoreboard to scoreboard. Side-to-side, at gound level (not counting the supports for the uppers is something like 400'. Using those numbers and my memory, the walls of the bowl are maybe 100' to 120' tall, give or take, but that number is probably the furtherest off of my guesstimates.

Obviously the guy is here looking for dimensions to make a mock-up, a miniature, a cake, heck I don't know - he didn't specify, but dimensions, in and of themselves are not targeting information.
Was it suspicious that he asked to the top of the concrete section? Maybe. But, again, a building of that age and appearance being constructed out of concrete isn't all that shocking.
Besides, Tiger Stadium is not even the likeliest "stadium" target in the state, for those who would seek to do us harm.

Oddly, yes.

Well....obviously that guy in the airport with a gun is probably just going to go hunting when he gets where he's going... I don't know, he didn't specify...let's let him on through. He looks like a good kid.

try contacting CSRS of Baton Rouge. They did a lot of remodeling of TS and have tons of drawing on it.

Sounds like a terrorist scheme. Don't help this guy out!
