re: How many dorm rooms are in Tiger Stadium?

77-78.
Lived on the side that faced the Assembly Center in the last room next to the back stairs.

There was a bar down there called The Pub that served beer and wine. Had live music too!

I did a lot of homework down there. Helped to keep my grades up.

There's no way to get into the stadium from the dorms.

Actually, there is (or, at least, was) in the dorms along the sidelines. Not sure about the north or south endzone dorms though--the last time that I was in the south endzone dorms was way back in the mid-1990s to put some boxes in some old dorm rooms that had been converted into storage rooms. I was warned beforehand to be careful when entering, because apparently homeless people had been living in there because the outside entrance was never locked. Sure enough, once inside, there was peeling paint and litter strewn everywhere, along with musty air containing the smell of mold and urine. Looked a lot like what I envisioned the Hanoi Hilton prison camp to look like. Needless to say, I took a deep breath before I entered, held it, walked upstairs, dumped the boxes in the room that I was instructed to place them in, got back outside, and took another deep breath of fresh air. I can't imagine how bad it looks in there now, 15 years later. Disgraceful, really. Our great school always asks the legislature to build new buildings but then doesn't maintain the ones it has. How the heck did the Huey Long Field House fall into such disrepair that it now requires $35 million of repair work? The Music & Dramatic Arts Building just needed 5 years(!) worth of renovation to get back up to par. Cox Communications needed to be brought in to re-do the entire Gym-Armory because it was in such poor shape. Doesn't LSU do any day-to-day maintenance on buildings once they are built?

First thing everyone cuts is the maintenance budget...I work in Maint at a local chemical industry and you learn that new projects come from capital budgets with enormous bank and then maint comes from a budget that is campus wide and everyone must share the maint cost and people who want to move up due so with "lowering cost" which means cut maint... after several people move through and they all "cut cost" maint goes to shite and is almost irreparable.
