Get over it. Lsu, the architect & the contractor are still in the planning stages of this project. They will figure it out eventually.


This expansion is about 80% finished...

I actually assumed IWBRIT stood for "it won't be ready in time" but wasn't entirely sure.


You guys are so negative. Is it possible the "W" is short for "Will"...?

I'm beyond confused now. We've now heard 65, 60, 68, 70, and now 66 from a TAF official on the air. The TAF guy, Rhett Butler...I'd slap my parents if I was him...was talking about the state of the SEZ as it is now. He said it would be topped off soon, they were on time, and they be working inside mostly from now on.


There are definitely 72 suites which includes 6 smaller suites I believe are designated for AD, VAD and possibly other VIP (TAF, coaches and families, etc). I assume this is why the published number of suites available to the fans has been indicated as 66.

As far as number of seats goes, I suspect that there is some verification of actual measurements of the seating areas that LSU would like to be completed before they finalize counts. I'm sure they don't want to have any "Sorry, but your seat didn't fit" conversations with ticket holders.

Isn't there a special box for the Governor in the WUD?

Here's a link from the LSU Football Twitter page to a football scrimmage video showing the SEZ construction:

Honestly, I'd rather be about 35 rows up, 50 yard line.

Some pictures from yesterday. Can't stress enough how much larger this expansion looks in person.

I'm hoping they put dark windows over the brick. That's the only way it won't look awful, IMO.

I'm not even sure they're going to install actual glass windows for all those empty holes.

I walked by earlier and glanced at the site board (board that shows the rendering, notes the governor, chancellor, contractor, etc)

According to that rendering, the bottom 2 sectional row of windows will not have glass windows installed. The "window holes" will be left open

Eta: Eh
