I think those rooms, yours in particular are still under quarantine.

Thought the same thing we I saw this last night. Seems like a lot of wasted space.

In the 90's I think they were art studios for grad students doing their MFAs.

I've thought for years they would make a great hotel.

In the midish 80's art students used them as studios.

Never lived there but visited people there. Not luxurious but not as bad as some people make out.

I saw them after Boys State counseling circa 2004 as they were using a room for storage. Very cool and creepy experience

I have been saying for 20 years that TAF missed out on not getting control of those and turning them into killer suites with an attached bedroom. Host your buddies before the game with open bar and catering and then go back to the room five minutes into the third quarter to beat the traffic. Wait. Hell this would allow some select blessed souls to actually stay the whole game, then sleep, then drive home the next day with no traffic.

Brilliant.

What would you pay to be able to stay in the stadium the night after the game?

Am i the only person that thinks LSU is missing out on so many opportunities by reusing these for other things?
