I had heard rumors that as they pay off the current projects that they may do this. Does anyone know more about this?

Considering LSU only packs the stadium for matchups vs top 10 teams, NO.

Isn't SELLING tickets the bottom line? Last time I checked LSU doesn't have a problem selling tickets for any game.

However, there are people that have been on the waitlist for years, some I have heard of as being on the list for over 10. I heard this same thing several years ago, but with a new project coming out to "re-do/redecorate" the entrance at the north endzone before next season, I don't think it will happen anytime in the near future.

Only the south endzone. That's why they didn't put up the new scoreboard in the south. I hear the north end has structural issues and it'll never happen.

I think the economy will push this project back a few years.

I don't know how many seats it would add, but I'm sure we could sell the tickets to make it worthwhile. Obviously we won't sell out when ULL comes to play. One would like to think the laws of supply and demand would come into play and it would keep ticket prices from going up too high. Fat chance on that probably.

If they add on any more to TS, we'll have to get artificial turf. I like the natural grass...

i'd hate to lose the view from the upper west. Seeing downtown BR, the river and the bridge is a great site. But over 100k would rock.

I don't thik they'd let us host a bowl with N.O. having two bowls there already, thought it would be a money maker. I just say we shoot for the bleachers and make ours the biggest if possible.

If they ever bowl in Tiger Stadium, Kent Lowe should roll the first ball.

Tiger Stadium has been a "bowl" for years. The upper decks are not actually part of the "bowl." But I think it would be cool if they would enclose the South endzone with an upperdeck, where the three decks could make a horseshoe. Leave the North Endzone how it is though.

LSU has to do a feasibility study before anything happens. They did this before the East expansion and West side as well.

BTW this study for the SEZ has already been started, and from my understanding by the same company that did the last.

I was wondering how long it would take for this to start.
