I could see it on the smaller boards


It was well into the second before the score was put at the bottom of the replay screens.

Everything was great. Only issues were cell service is still hit or miss and score boards didn't have down and distance, time etc until well into game. I'm sure quality control people will figure it out for next week.

Awesome. Completely different experience. Video screens everywhere, and the upper decks just seem to hang over the field. My only complaint is I didn't find any concession stands in the NEZ that carry the new menu items.

Huge bitching is SEZ club level. Renderings showed seats were covered..they are not.

Sat in new upper SEZ Section 654.

Awesome experience. Mind you it took 3 attempts to get up there in the elevator. Twice at the top, the elevator doors did not fully open. Elevator did not have A/C. Free sauna!

Two pics from SEZ Uppers

Crotchety old man here. Sitting in west side the screens we're a bit too much at times. After TD the flashing almost gave me a seizure. Actually pulled down the brim of my hat avoid. Even my kid commented on it being annoying, and he's 12 and was jacked on skittles. They need to chill a bit. Just because you can blind people with a million megawatts of neon, doesn't mean it's a good idea.

Biggest fail I noticed was lack of game info.


Time clock, play clock down and distance ect
I had to search for it time or two.

It was on the screens down low in the SEZ corners. They announced a couple of times they were having trouble with it on the NEZ screen. It's supposed to be there, and it was by the end of the game.

Borne' is unintelligible in the south EZ. Still has a shite ton of bass, if you like that. But the play by play is useless.


I've sat in the 27th row in the south end zone since the late 90's. I've NEVER been able to hear Borne.

I'm in east uppers and didn't have any issue getting up to seats. First season up there though. Why are the Ramps closed? Stadium looks huge. Where are all the extra concessions items they raised about? Saw nothing but standard items.

Huge bitching in SEZ club level ...


Surprised not to read more about this this morning. I took a private tour of the expansion in August and couldn't believe it when I saw the club level was uncovered. I would imagine that the game experience is still outstanding, but I have to think most club level ticket holders expected something different.

Our seats are toward the bottom of the East Upper section. It was initially strange to see the new additions as it made the NEZ seem small...including the expanded scoreboard/screen. I thought it looked great and hope all new recruits feel the same. It's designed great for night games so hopefully we can avoid those crappy day starts.

The positives outweighed the negatives 10:1 for me. My only complaints were the lack of stats & other scores (the little sections were not sufficient) and poor audio. The two new ribbon boards looked good but I wish they would use them for more than just advertisements.

Regarding the "new & improved" food selection. Epic Failure! They added chicken on a stick and pulled pork nachos. Other than that we're still stuck with cold "hotdogs" and Papa John's cardboard pizza to go along with a constantly broken escalator. Thankfully we still have jambalaya & Dippin Dots!

I don't know if LSU has any flyovers planned this season but it would be pretty cool to be at the top of the SEZ and have a few fighter jets heading straight for you.

When those banners went dark and screens went out (for just a moment), i swear the temp in the SEZ dropped 5 degrees. I bet I got a tan from them suckers. Lol.

Once they got the score/time line fixed on the big screens, it was glorious. The white on purple was a bit hard to read, but I'm gettin' old.

This! I searched all over for the chicken strips and didn't find shite.

-Also I actually could send and recieve text messages during some of the game. That was nice and a first.

-I noticed during 1 TO they had the Auburn game on the SE scoreboard. Need MOARRRRRR of this!
