Maybe a few fewer Old Milwaukee Lights might improve the sight.

Agree....and did you notice that clown with the tall cap also blocking your view? We yelled at him to remove it and I coulda swore when he turned around that he had grass sticking out of his mouth. Scary man...just scary!!

Not possible because of the proximity to the river.



The drainage of the surrounding area would have more to do with it than the River. BR is relatively high ground, sure it would be better if the stadium was on the higher side of the fault line running through campus, but the river doesn't effect the water table.

sorry, no link, but I believe this was actually discussed ten or so years ago when some major field work was being done, but there were multiple problems, the water table being a big one.

only someone from New Orleans could say 60 feet above sea level is high ground.

I sit on the front row and it wasn't bad until they changed the TAF contributions and we pay the same amount as the seats straight behind us. That's the sight line issues. Before when it was cheaper it was fine.
