Watched game on tv sat night. New addition looked awesome. Just thinking about how awesome the other endzone would look if they added on. Is it even a remote possibility one day.

There was a thread about this yesterday, and no it probably wouldn't.

Only if the Pete mac and tiger habitat is torn down. Not enough room to put up an exact match on the north end zone. Moreover, the road will have to be closed.

There is no room on the other side

There's a few reason's this likely won't happen anytime soon. First, I don't think there is the demand for more tickets outside 1 or 2 games a year.

Second the room on the North side would be very tight, if it would fit at all.

I think it would be better to upgrade the current stadium rather than add more, including added bathrooms, concession stands, TV's, etc.

For the final time: It is NOT logistically or structurally possible.



Yes, hypothetically suites/stadium club only would be absurdly bad arse.

Something tells me I don't think there is any room.

Well, still, we have a bad arse stadium now, I think it the best in college football, cannot hurt in recruiting also.

As long as people keep leaving early and not showing up, probably not. This is not just a LSU problem.

In the SEC and the Big 10, the biggest stadiums average much more than NFL venues as far as as capacity in much smaller cities. High costs, parking problems, traffic problems, and the fact that every game is on TV will hurt attendance.

They would not need to.
Hell, give the upper deck corners away to charities and non profits. It would be about maximizing potential revenue. It would most certainly be all suite, maybe stadium club. They would all be pre-sold and paid for at a premium price. Again, unfortunately NOT possible.

Uhhh. So it is possible to add on? I don't think this will be the final time you contradict yourself.

As long as adding more weight to the north side will make it structurally unsound, then no. This is not just a LSU problem.

Signature has a good point...no room. Any changes in the future would be suites, lowering capacity but raising revenue. Maybe sad for some, but it is what it is.
