Wow, that unlit O is pretty embarrassing.

CPM doesn't want it to be a mental distraction to pitchers. at least thats what he told the coaches committee a season or 2 ago when someone asked.

I can see that side of the argument. You don't want your pitcher throwing to try and hit #s on the board. Also, as you've seen, some of the ones in the other SEC stadiums are not accurate. I've seen many 90+ MPH change ups. That being said, I'd like to see one in the Box.

I went to a minor league park in oklahoma city a couple years ago. The scoreboard had every pitcher throwing at least 100mph

-The "O" on the Alex Box Stadium sign above the score board doesn't light up.

Is this still out??

It will never be ready in time. Honestly I think the batters eye is worst then the O being out

I don't like that the bleachers in LF and RF look completely different.

The "O" that was out and the led lights in the scoreboard were things i noticed too. Guess there wasn't enough time between last season and Friday night to change lightbulbs.

I refuse to buy the underground excuse as to why they can't hang a 300 lbs batters eye. There has to be a work around.

It might weigh more than 300 lbs, but it is certainly doable.

Any high school industrial arts department could put one up in a week. Where there's a will, there's a way. Apparently, there's no will in the LSUAD to correct embarrassing conditions in one of the top stadiums in college baseball.

Any other canvas "Batters Eyes" in the SEC?

Some people ARE NOT doing their jobs.
