Is anything sacred? I'm sure the ball park is just fine in person, but it looks crappy with all the ads everywhere. Tony Chachere's, give me a break. Are we that hard up for cash?

Build a new park and then cover it with cheap banners.

Is this the first LSU baseball game you've ever seen?

With my new Vizio HD, yes. I haven't been in the new park.

There were no ads at the old box. The ad money is how we paid off the new stadium.

Trying to give boat the benefit of the doubt that that's sarcasm.

Well, you obviously aren't supporting the program monetarily by actually attending the games....so....

i know you're getting bashed here but i agree. Tiger Stadium is the same way. I'm not saying no ads but it's pretty ridiculous. Also, everything in the radio broadcast is sponsored. Strike outs, plays in the red zone, three pointers. EVERYTHING is sponsored!

boat, in order for sarcasm to work ... you have to give a hint of it.

I thought that statement was outlandish enough for the sarcasm to work.

The worst is the new jumbotron in tiger stadium. i think we measured it in a picture and it's more than 50% ads.

With a marketing budget of almost 100 million you have to make money off somewhere.
