It's coming. From my understanding, the only actual downside to this is that the original stadium lights help with the moisture on the field. Outside of that, LSU has an opportunity to amplify the atmosphere in the stadium. Common resistance I've seen from fans include "we shouldn't need this" or "we don't need to be like Bama", to name a few. Place your articulate thoughts below.

Crazy how in 2022 we don't have technology to both.

Also crazy that we have 2022 threads on this.

Can't wait to hear the non-sports fans melt over it. When I worked as a line cook in college one of my coworkers had a giant rant about wasting city money keeping the stadium lights on at night and during the offseason. He might be somewhere having an aneurysm if he finds out they're installing these

I'm fine with the lights so long as we upgrade the video board and audio system as well. Those should honestly come first

Nothing is wrong with it.

“Traditionalists” here say the noise is what makes Tiger Stadium magical.

While that was true 10 years ago, butts are leaving the seats in droves by halftime, including students (who are the loudest)

Adding a light show will keep students engaged, players hyped, and recruits in awe.

Anyone who wants the boring, stagnant, quiet band atmosphere we have now just doesn’t get it.

LED lights is for stadiums that can’t move the earth.

But it never rains in Tiger Stadium so put up the LEDs.

Do recruits/players like this kind of stuff? This is a lot of money just because Alabama does it.

Notre Dame is playing on field turf. I think we can install some lights.

Fact is with the price and resources that a individual has to use to attend a game, you have to make the experience at the stadium as unique and as different in person vs on their couch as you can. This helps aid in that unique stadium experience.

Nothing wrong with it at all, imo. I think it would be cool af. Recruits would love it. Not trying to be disrespectful, but the old heads are mostly stuck in their ways about everything. So any change is bad to them. At least that's what it seems like on this board, to me.

I don't think it adds any value to the stadium. Those light would have 0 impact on the last game experience.

I'm telling ya -- kill the lights, pump some fireworks up and smoke the field and start Hendrix's Purple Haze as the team is about to emerge...

That shite would be insane

This is just a fad that will last for a few years then stadiums will stop doing it. 99% of the time it looks silly on TV.

LSU made a huge deal about their colored LEDs out of the stadium. Now they don’t bother doing that anymore.

For 2 out of 6 games that are at night. There are bigger issues to fix.
