At least.

Some don't want to accept it, but Alex Box looks like an updated version of a brokedick early 80's minor league ballpark. Only with a few luxury suites and a nice scoreboard they ripped off of Rosenblatt Stadium. It's bland. It has no unique characteristics whatsoever. Over half of the seating is rinky-dink aluminum bleachers. The outfield wall looks like a Little League stadium with all of the mis-matched ads covering it from end to end. That may have been a necessity in the 70's and 80's when no AD put any money into baseball. It's not now. Especially at LSU.

From an amenities standpoint it is probably fine. But it was boring and bland when it opened in 2009. It's only gotten moreso with the passage of time. If it were any other SEC school's stadium LSU fans would mock it. But since it is "ours" some can't. Just because it is YOUR girlfriend doesn't mean she's not homely and bland.

There is no need to tear the stadium down and start over. Just update the interior to make it look like a modern stadium and not a newer version of a 70 year old stadium.
