I went on the website to check how the progress was going and spotted this structure. It looks like the top rows are flanking it won't have a full view of the field.

Looks like it. That sucks. But good thing the stadium will be empty and they can just move down, amirite?

how do you screw that up in this day and age? It's not like this is some complex structure. It's a fairly basic design.

It might not be too bad. It looks like there are support columns and then some open space as it goes in before you get the actual structure there.

Was this the only location available for an on-campus stadium? Or were other locations considered?

There won't ever be enough people at the game to have to sit in those spots

I guess they assumed you can see through the walkway, but you know they are gonna have some douches standing right against that railing.

ETA- I plan to make some games there that don't interfere with the LSU schedule.

Don't think there are obstructed views. Here's a link to a bunch of photos. LINK

What do you mean by "flanking"? Judging by your red circles, are you saying the press box will block the view of the seats right next to it?
Lord I hope not.

That looks like a really intimate place to watch a game. Good for Tulane. I am definitely going to watch a game there.

Yea, they shoehorned that stadium in there. It used to be the track stadium/practice field.
