There is a row missing, and the handrail in the aisle extends above row 7.

So they installed the benches on the vertical planes instead of the horizontal planes. So when someone behind/above you spills a drink, it runs off the concrete right down your pants....well done considering it's visitor seating.

I didn't notice that. Good catch. They were able to get the extra row of visitor benches in because of that.

Sorry, I don't see what difference where the bench supports are (vert or hor) benches would still be up against the vertical plane with walk room in front. Albiet looks like very small walk space for the visitors!

Well, I'm not a complainer and wouldn't care if I was up in there eating, drinking and living it up, but that is some ugly-azz carpet. I can't imagine more than one person picking that out. Or maybe we had that carpet lying around from a 70s Tiger Stadium dorm renovation that never materialized.

Other than that, everything looks good.

the supports/seats are normally on the edge of the flat area, so is a drink is spilled it runs under the bleacher seat, not on it. If you've ever sat, literally anywhere else in the stadium, this would make more sense.

Yes I can dig, look at the 3D of existing SEZ, benches are supported on the vertical plane, but they are higher then the concrete walkway behind them while these are right below it; their postere will practically sit on the walkway and visitors will be literally kicking others in the arse going back and forth

Was in Baton Rouge and saw the scoreboards lit up(yes, only half was working)...the south addition is VERY impressive from the bridge looking into the stadium. But outside, the lego blocks really stick out...hope they can camouflage them in some way.

We are just hoping they can stucco the 4 interior Lego's to match the rest. But don't think that's going to happen.

Someone needs to email Alleva and get this done. Instead of the boxes, something similar would look awesome at top

Not it. I have a test tomorrow

The carpet is like what is found in a casino. Busy so you don't notice shite being spilled on it or dirt. I like it.

I was wondering if they decided to throw in an extra row and just put that barrier up behind it.


Looks like they did. Just as they decided to go ahead and fill in the areas previously left vacant for expansion under the video screens and at each end of the suites...

Just curious if anyone else has noticed this or not:

It looks to me the top-south tips of the East and West uppers come dangerously close to not being able to see the South-endzone. I haven't had a good look to see what the vision would be from up there.

Does anyone else see that concern? Just curious.

Not a concern if they put the visiting fans there.
