Before the haters jump on board, I understand we are in the process of a major rehaul to the end zone, as well as the remodeling process on the other end zone...

but have there been talks in revamping the interior walkways inside TS? Im all for keeping Tiger Stadium nostolgic but it looks like shite, bottom line. Old TVs everywhere, shitty paint, terrible concessions & bathrooms.

I don't expect TS to be a Ritz Carlton but I've been to several other college stadiums that seem much more focused on asthetics than LSU is.

I'm with ya. Good next project after SEZ. Also more chairbacks would be nice.

I mean, people complain about not filling the seats and the attrition problem throughout the game.

Well I could care less about how shitty TS looks on the inside, but I can tell you; plenty of folks think TS looks like garbage on the inside and don't feel comfortable in a hot, old-looking stadium for 3+ hours.

Simple solution to the attrition issue, revamp the interior. Spend money to make money.

They are selling tickets, people just leave early.

Spending money where you suggest does not add seats (AKA - Revenue).

Just saying.

I agree it must be done, but not to make more money.

Georgias and Ole Miss's concourse areas are just as bad if not worse than TS. I would say TS is par for the SEC at least. I agree though, the outside looks fantastic, unlike the inside.

Never been to Oxford, but I was in Athens for the UGA game, and their concourse was MUCH nicer than TS. The overall atmosphere doesn't fully match BR, but the interior was much nicer IMO.

Anyone know if the escalator was ever fixed going up the East upper? If you were lucky and rode the first group up you may have made it before it stopped. Then you were in a bind and had to walk up the ramps. When its 95 and up you need water every couple ramps. I always wondered if the LSU engineers designed the ramps or was it some high school mechanical engineers wannabe class.

Improper logic. For example:

Do you date the hot chick so you can buy a nice house/condo/car, or do you buy the nice house/condo/car to date the hot chick?

Here is some logic for you

Does the AD want to pump millions of dollars into a stadium for purely cosmetic reasons for a bunch of shite eating fans who do nothing but bitch and leave early?

I think it needs a new coat of paint, similar to NEZ updates. Concessions need to be revamped. Hell, even Ole Miss was selling Chick Fil A.

I would love to see more chairbacks. Have gold endzones.

they've saved the interior aesthetics for the men's bathrooms. Vintage 1940s

The priority was getting revenue generating seats first, which now they will have. This should allow money to budget for redoing the concourses in the near future. This will be the last expansion that adds a lot more seats for the foreseeable future. Next will be the older parts of the stadium internally.
