I'm trying to find out how tall the concrete part of the stadium is and how long it is from north score board to the south score board. Anyone know how to find this unusual info? Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure you can go get a copy of all of the architectual drawings from the city hall archives, although i dont know what costs would be or exactly who you would talk to.

How accurate do you need it? Go to GoogleEarth and use the measuring stick thingy.

There was a thread on this last year, someone who posted in it worked on the west upper construction and had the exact numbers...

Do a search for it...

It's tough to estimate a height, because there are few conventionally storied buildings at grade with the stadium. It is approaching 500' from end to end, and that's a good guess for scoreboard to scoreboard. Side-to-side, at gound level (not counting the supports for the uppers is something like 400'. Using those numbers and my memory, the walls of the bowl are maybe 100' to 120' tall, give or take, but that number is probably the furtherest off of my guesstimates.

try contacting CSRS of Baton Rouge. They did a lot of remodeling of TS and have tons of drawing on it.
