What is this "exposed PVC pipe" on Tiger Stadium all about?

Hey guys, I hear about the exposed PVC pipe outside of Tiger Stadium all the time. I've never actually seen or noticed it and I couldn't find any pictures of it - can someone help me out on exactly where it is? If there aren't any pictures maybe I will pass there on the way to class and check it out. Thanks!

When they redid the west upper there were some exposed pipes and all these divas complained about the stadium fashion faux pas

Some people can't comprehend that their piss and shite needs to go somewhere. Also, most of the plumbing was done after the structure was in place so you would have to essentially demo and rebuild the majority of the structure to enclose the pipes in the structure.
Also, when most of the stadium was retrofitted with plumbing, an architect was not involved and it is obvious that it was done by an industrial engineering firm. My best friend's dad actually worked on the project for the east side plumbing.
The best possible solution right now is to use light gage to frame out around the pipes and then finish it off with a plaster facade. Of course anything that attaches to the structure without being concrete might look out of place.

It is inconceivable that a one hundred plus million dollar addition to tiger stadium would be so poorly designed that yes, no one accounted for sewage outflow and during the design-build portion they went....crap! We forgot to plan for the sewage ...
So there hangs under the structure a thick white pipe as a testament to how pathetic TAF's construction management team oversight was and why Trey trahan should never design so much as a outhouse for lsu again.
You would have to be blind not to see it.
The new design is HORRIBLE
I stand by my previous statement. It may look fine from the inside but is crap on the outside. If you don't agree fine. Just my opinion. That's why it's called the rant jerkoffs.

Middle right.

Brought to you by the same idiots that tore down a historic mike the tiger cage, a historic architectural treasure because they couldn't find an architect that could work it into the new design.
That says it all
Go to the chimes if you want to see the landmark artwork that adorned the cage as they have a copy of it on the wall. TAF didn't give a crap about preserving the Huey long era structure.
Do you think Alabama or Texas or noted dame would bull doze their treasures like that.... No- just TAF.
I don't expect anything but hodge piece mediocrity from that group and if you ever left louisiana and seen what great design is at other arenas you'd understand my comments.

How much are you donating for these projects ? Because you sure in the hell act like you are paying for them out of your own pocket.

I agree with both sides, usually i dont notice it, but non lsu folks a lot of times are not impressed with the outside of the stadium. And it's a focal point of campus and of the city. No reason to cut corners on something that brings in soo much money.
Now i have no idea on the tiger cage, i just assumed they were receiving a lot of pressure for a better liviving situation. Which is ridiculous, im never going to live anywhere that cost $2 million.

Mike needed a better living situation. There is no reason for him to be housed at sub-zoo levels

It's actually fairly noticeable.
I think the entire structure is fairly nice...but that's definitely a blemish that stands out. I'm not going to complain about it but when you stand in front of the tiger and notice that sticking out...something doesn't feel right...
I could see why people would bitch about it though. If that was my money from TAF going into the project...I'd bitch about. It's a pretty dumb architectural oversight...

There are some people who are obsessing a little too much about a piece of pipe.

I say add the win logo on the pipe.......problem solved
Posted on 4/19/12 at 8:43 pm to Microtiger
Woah!
Woah.
I'll never be able to look at the stadium without seeing that pipe again. I can't believe I didn't notice it before.

It looks very "Mexico".

One of the cruelest, greatest aesthetic and architectural injustices to ever be inflicted upon the great state of Louisiana.
Seriously, while not the big white elephant some make it out to be, it does look cheap and redneck.
