The measure would also add 160 seats for fans by the left and right field foul lines with the majority of the new seating coming to the right field side.

The right field bullpen for the home team will be moved from the right field foul line to a "newly constructed area under the right-field bleachers." The visitors bullpen by the left field foul line will be moved behind a newly built wall down but will remain down the left field line.

No chairbacks no care

Absolutely no reason to not have chairbacks down the line in the Box. Hopefully this is just a band aid for the bullpens and we'll get a bigger reno next year.

I like having the visitor pen on the field. I think it’s much harder mentally being that close to heckling fans while trying to get in the right head space

How? There’s hardly any foul territory as is.

How are they going to put the bullpens under the old bleachers without making them taller? The Intimidator will have to be moved also?

A few things:

1. I have a feeling placing the home bullpen underneath the bleachers might be a bad idea. I just know they're gonna frick up puting a ceiling that won't leak beer and coke down on the pitchers warming up. Not to mention the stomping and rattling from the crowd above. Especially if that stays the student section.

2. Having these premium seating areas along the entire length of the foul lines prevents normal fans from being close to the players. Think about kids coming to the botton row to get a players attention to sign autographs. And what about the last lap around the warning track for the last home game of the year?
Do you really think the ushers are gonna let reg fans in the premium areas?

3. All they had to do was add chairbacks along left a right field. If they just did that I would be jubilant. This just makes the fan experience worse.

It’s time for the BOS to meet and vote to build a new basketball arena. The PMAC dump needs to be blown up. Time for a new arena for four LSU sports (BB, WBB, Volleyball and Gymnastics)!

GEAUX TIGERS!
GEAUX BUILD A NEW PMAC!

I agree with y’all on the chair backs.

But the bullpens down the lines are hilarious and good for a couple of opponent injuries each year.

Why didn’t they do this voting in the offseason? Season just started and now they are looking at this.

I don’t see why they just don’t put them both in center field if they have room for them. Instead of moving of the left field and right field bleachers. Many fields have the bull pens in center field

When are they gonna upgrade the batters eye? It'll probably save them money in the long run because I'm sure they need to throw some new garbage bags up there weekly.

So will this give us a completive advantage by being able to hide who is working in the pen? Seems like we will be able to see the visitors pen, but our will be obstructed.

Vote approved. Obviously too late for this season. 2025.
