don't touch the streets on the north and south end. just build the new expansions on top of the current ones.

Bah, I never understood the reluctance to do roadwork.

Reroute the streets through part of the parking lots, replace the lost parking via parking garages.

Win.

Good thing they don't evaluate empty seats after halftime when deciding if they should expand or not..

And add a pedestrian bridge that crosses over Nicholson

LSU makes the same if the seats are occupied for 1 half or both. It is not like they say "OH NOEAUX" we are 67% full in the 3rd or 4th qtr. We can't build more...

Underground tunnels with trains to and from the stadium would be nice for inclement weather or when I'm too drunk to walk.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - LSU and the Tiger Athletic Foundation are surveying season ticket holders to gage interest in a possible expansion of premium seating in Tiger Stadium.


They are only discussing more suites it would seem. More bang for your buck.

This is the email I got. I don't see a link.

As a valued stakeholder, we need your assistance as planning continues for the future of LSU Football and Tiger Stadium. The Tiger Athletic Foundation (TAF) has retained PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) to evaluate the potential market demand for two potential stadium projects:

1. The addition of a membership club along the east sideline between the lower bowl and upper deck

2. The addition of new premium seating (suites and club seats) behind the south end zone

As part of their research, PwC would appreciate your input related to the proposed membership club and new premium seating options for LSU Football. We genuinely appreciate the many ways in which you support the program and have tried to make the gathering of the necessary information as simple as possible.

PwC is requesting your completion of the enclosed internet-based survey by June 24, 2011.

Please click here to begin your survey.

If you have any questions regarding the survey, please do not hesitate to contact Adam Jones with PwC at adam.w.jones@us.pwc.com.

On behalf of LSU and the TAF, we greatly appreciate your participation in this important process.

Sincerely yours,



Rick Perry
Senior Vice President
Tiger Athletic Foundation

I wish I had the pics from my parents of the train trips from Shreveport to LSU for games. Took people to campus.

now expanding the stadium and expanding "premium seating" are two different things. That may make the seating capacity smaller actually. It's only adding suites and club seats, possibly at the cost of other spaces.
