I have been told my Powerpoints are epic. I have not had much success in the construction industry, but I like my odds of landing the bid.

The port o johns are too expensive for Alleva's budget.

Alex Box needs a upgrade soon in my opinion. Losing ground.

Alex Box has always had an "unfinished" look to me. Kind of like the construction company got to a certain point, stood back, and said, "ah, that looks good. Let's go."

When I see places like A&M, Bama, now State, it really shows how behind the Box is. I think they hurt themselves by trying too hard to build a replica of the original Box.

The issues with the box is the outfield bleachers don't match. That is 100% of the problem. The reason for that is simple: in order to get those approved, they had to use a piece of the old stadium (I think it had something to do with a loophole for Title IX BS). That's why they don't match.

If I was in charge of renovations, I would take the outfield bleachers down and replace them with either a berm or just bleachers that go evenly around the back outfield wall and move the bull pens back there out of the field of play.

I would then add on to the existing grandstand so it goes from foul pole to foul pole with more luxury boxes.

I love LSU baseball and the box but its probably 3rd best stadium in the SEC. That program deserves better.

Will never happen... berms are stupid anyway.

No need to move them... always loved giving the opposing bullpen shite during a game. (And they gave us a post-season first-inning inside-the-park grand slam! )

This should have been done when they built the place. Not having green seats going all the way down the lines is a visual embarrassment.
