I just can't see this thing adding over 10,000 to the current capacity.
But then again, what the hell do I know?

Is this news? Last I heard the new seating capacity was going to be right at 100,000.
Had to add new Texas wing...

Who's to say that's an accurate rendering?

They look more like FEMA trailers.
Awesome design process there LSUAD. Destroy the aesthetics of your new trillion dollar expansion by adding cheap and tacky structures to the top of it all because the negligent architects didn't integrate it all into the guts.

It sure doesn't look like that new addition could possibly hold that many. And I agree 100% on the abomination of those grey 'blocks' on the top. What they heck are those- housing for A/C other mechanical equipment? If so, that is beyond bad design.

its restrooms and concessions.

We have had record crowds as large as 96,000 in the current stadium. This addition can easily put 6-7,000 more people, when adding for the Suites.

The South Endzone lower bowl structure seats 24,000. That is roughly 12,000 for upper and lower. I can definitely see getting about 10,000 seats in that new uppper deck design.

Are you including staff and people on the field?
Record is around 93,400

They did say there would be standing room only tickets available. Guess where they will be standing? Yep, on that open concourse with the concessions and restrooms in the background. I think it's a fair trade-off.
They could have put more seats in front and above that concourse (thus hiding the structures) for more capacity for the big games but for the rest of the games those extra empty seats would be very noticeable as opposed to the equivalent capacity with standing room only areas that won't look so empty for the lesser games. These are the kind of considerations that lsu admin and architects take into account when designing the new expansion. People would complain either way. Empty seats or visible infrastructure.

Not saying it will, but if you drive by it and look at it in person, it looks like it can.
