No one will ever say "We're going out to the Bertman". Leave it as is. Maybe they should rename the street in front of old Box "S. Stadium Dr." again and rename Gourrier Drive for Skip.

The stadium was named for Simeon Alex Box, an LSU letterman (1938) who was killed in North Africa during World War II.
Good reason to remember and leave as it...

Maybe you should read up on just who Alex Box was, and then maybe you'll change yoru mind.

Skip would never go for that. HE has been adament that the stadium will be called ALEX BOX STADIUM.
Skip has done GREAT THINGS for LSU, but he will be the first to say that he is not the one who died a horrible death in service to our country. The stadium is named to honor Lt. Alex Box...and THAT is how it should always be.
This is not to say that Skip should not be honored for his service to LSU...just don't do so by taking Lt. Box's name of the ballpark.
