whats the plan for the road? are they gonna brick that/resurface that at all?


just guessing but nothing in the road seems to be part of this NEZ phase.

Also, I initially saw plans for them to incorporate what theyre doing now to pmac entrance area on the other side of the street. Anyone know when this is happening? Is it?


Yeah at one point i saw plans about closing the road completely and getting rid of it. No clue if that got shelved or is still in the eventual plans.

The North side is looking good. Glad that's finishing for this season. There's been a ton of progress the last two or three years towards improving the exterior of the stadium.

exterior of the stadium.

The next step should be improving the interior... Bad Bathrooms, horrible concession stands, crappy TVs.

Crappy speakers. The place could be repainted or whatever they did to the outside of the north side as well.

Nice, I hadn't seen those renderings. I agree there's a lot that can be improved inside the stadium, but I think these exterior projects are making a much bigger impact. Glad they picked this order for the updates.

You can count on that tacky yellow not being in the gates though since they werent in the west side gates (but were in the drawings).

Nice job by the athletic department to fix the windows that will now be covered by the South EZ addition.

a few questions. When is this suppose to be read? Also, I agree with people saying the speakers in Tiger Stadium are horrible. Does anybody know if or when they are replacing them?

Thanks

Windows were only replaced on the North Endzone. South Endzone windows havent been touched in years. The proposed tailgate zone above the weight room wont affect the north stadium windows.

The speakers were in the old South endzone scoreboard that was taken down this offseason for South endzone addition. I have no Clue what their plan is for the sound system. The South endzone addition should be done by 2014 season. North Endzone plaza should be done before this coming 2013 Season

Im so glad LSU went through the trouble of wasting donation money replacing windows in the existing stadium just in time for them to be covered up by the new construction.
