Might want to build a new library that doesn’t leak rainwater on the students first.

It looked rinky dink to me. It onlhh to hold 4,400.

The main stands looked great, but the rest had no character. I even thought I saw lawn chairs in RF.

Bitch about the way we played, but that little park wouldn’t nearly be big enough for us.

The Box is in the bottom half of the SEC. Pretty shameful

Very nice ballpark out there on the plains. I enjoyed it and their renovations and additions finished in time for this season hit their mark.

The additional SRO/GA seating and viewing areas down the left field side are really well done. The loge style viewing areas on top of the green monster is a very unique sightline. Can even get a wheelchair up to the top to watch. Very cool perspective up there.

The live organ play makes for a much more enjoyable viewing experience than all the piped in music IMO

Their music playlist in general all weekend was way better than the crap LSU plays on repeat every year.

Absolutely agree. The music director at the box now sucks with the current playlist

It really was a nice looking ball park. We brought tailgate chairs and posted up in the left field area, lots of other LSU fans around. Crazy watching players field balls bouncing off the wall.

Agree with what someone said about the organ, gives it a classic feel. Nice experience overall (minus the poor showing from our guys)

I’m not saying LSU should do it, but lawn chairs are more comfortable than bleachers…

They packed a lot of people into the open GA area on the left side. Also SRO viewers were 2 and 3 people deep on their narrow concourse. There was also a bunch of newly added open viewing area to stand under and in front of the brand new suites along the RF line. Crazy thing is there were a bunch of open seats scattered across the grandstands. Could have easily broke 8k in attendance if all the empties were filled IMO

Big does not equal nice.

Box grandstand rivals minor league stadiums. Video board is gigantic. After that it really goes downhill with 0 charm/unique features, miles of bleachers, ads everywhere, bad food, field bullpens and now bullpen under bleachers in what looks like a dungeon, etc

At least it’s not OU’s stadium

What?? The box is world-class and among the best in college baseball. Plainsmen Park is a dump.
