re: Alex Box Upgrade Rendering

I'm interested to see how this all goes down. I have held season tickets in 103 row 1 (at the home bullpen mound) since the stadium opened. I'm curious if I will have the option to move forward and keep my front row seats if new seating is added in place of the bullpens. Being in the blistering sun in metal bleachers, the front row is the best thing my seats have going for them.

All of this. I also sit in 103 and before that in front of the home bullpen since the old Box. While I understand the safety aspect of moving the bullpens, I will miss the players and coaches moving out of foul territory into a different area and the interaction fans and kids can have with them.

After seeing the new loge seating under the grandstand the past season, I suspect these new field level "premium" seats will demand higher pricing/TAF donations. IMO the only way to improve the existing bleacher fan's experience with this concept would be to have them able to move down on a game by game basis as a result of a random drawing or lottery system so that all bleacher fans have an ability to benefit from the "upgrades".

But with the way things have trended since moving to the new stadium, I'm sure they will be bought up by corporate donors with no consideration for those fans who have made LSU Baseball's home field advantage what it is over the past 3 decades. So while something new, it could actually diminish the current fan's experience and further isolate them from the things that matter most to them.
