They're making it 70% gayer

“VandyBoys” is so gay.

It irrationally triggers me every time I see it.

But they don’t have a magic ball from their old stadium

The fans wanted a bad Alex box

Apparently it’s going to take somebody getting hurt before we get rid of the high school bullpens at LSU.

As long as the box has the cheap arse metal bleacher look it won't be top 5.

Before a penny is spent updating Alex Box, the lower bowl of Tiger Stadium needs to be replaced.

Looks like it will make one hell of a TopGolf in the offseason.

I'm sure left fielders will love that curved wall.

Meh. I've been pretty vocal about the Box and things that need to be done, but I'd still take the Box over those renderings.

After the renovations to Vandy's field, Alex Box will still be much better.

Vandy needs to work on their acoustics. I hear a faint whistle the whole game I attended.

What a lot of our fans have a problem with is separating Skip (the coach) with Skip (the AD). Greatest baseball coach ever. Cheap miser AD. Instead of building a grand palace to truly honor the greatest baseball program of our generation, Skip (the AD) went cheap.

I’ll never understand his thinking of keeping the bullpens on the field. It was outdated long before the old box was torn down. Bring bleachers from the old box (to bring the magic) was just being cheap. Period. Not having chairbacks built all the way down the lines was just cheap.

One thing that a lot our fans don’t realize is that LSU Baseball makes far, far more money than the #2 team in revenue. LSU charges significantly more, and it’s not even close, than anyone else with suites and grandstand seats.

The LSU fans deserve a far better venue
Than what we have.

Anyone else not super impressed by Vandy's upgrades? It's different, I'll give them that. The only thing I saw and thought "that would be really cool at LSU" was the Home Run Deck.

It’s LSU man and Louisiana is a poor state. Never going to be as nice as other schools because we either won’t spend the money or the money just isn’t available. I accepted this a long time ago. Nothing is ever going to change that.

Alex Box is as meh a baseball stadium is in the SEC. The Intimidator is always cool and the scoreboards now are nice, but that's the only thing I like about it.

Honestly that stand section in Left Field is pretty bad arse. Alex Box needs a renovation and quickly.
