It's time to put chairbacks all the way down 1st and 3rd base lines
Permanent batter's eye should be put in place

The gap between the batter's eye and right field bleachers should include some sort of water feature (I'm thinking Royals type water fountain)or enhancement for the beauty of the stadium - open to suggestions here.

Agree with the chairbacks, the bleacher looking seats make it look bad; Baum and Carolina's parks just look better with all chairbacks.

This should have been done in the beginning.

A berm would be a great addition. Or should I even go there?

Chairbacks are nice, but they do reduce capacity. LSU is onr of the only schools that will actually put butts in those seats. Hard to convince them to do otherwise most likely.

The non-permanents batter's eye is quite pathetic though.

Screw capacity, the chairbacks behind home plate are empty most weekends. If it takes away some seating down lines so be it. Add more outfield seating.

Another thing I would like to see is moving bullpens off foul lines, you could put them in the outfield and make a see through fence like at Carolina's stadium.

Banning the K lady would be an upgrade too.

You realize this won't change if they add chairbacks right?

We have to be one of the few stadiums that this is an advantage to us to keep them in the foul lines. We have gotten into the heads of many pitchers in postseason when they were warming up by the student section. I'm pretty sure they did it for this reason

Add speakers in the outfield seating areas to allow for reasonable volume level of the ones above left and right field line seats.

Pitchers can block out bullpen ribbing.
They would get more beyond of

There should be no wasted space in the outfield.
Why woudln't you have bleachers all around the outfield.
So what if you don't fill it in every game. The big games, regionals and supers will be filled to capacity.

Clearly you haven't been down the lines during a postseason game.

Replace the grass with turf. ULL and Tulane have turf. (sarcasm)
