They need to address the fact that it sucks with 92,000 first.

Not "really" but the gameday experience is nothing like it used to be...

It's impossible. You think 92,000 drunk coonasses can make some noise? We would bring the stadium down with 100,000.

Miles said it best when he said that this was the "cathedral of college football and I could not think of any other place I would want to be"!

I don't think stadium size has anything to do with it, other than game day revenue. Its the presence of spirit, competition,the bands,and corn dogs, lol. Its the want to represent your school colors.

Ever? I'd say thats almost a certainty.

Near future? I kinda doubt it.

well you would see 10,000 seats empty for cupcakes and 5,000 empty for lower-tier SEC and non-conference games

I see no need to expand regular seating, premium seating is where the demand is at

I'd like to see a lot more suites added, to max out the revenue.

According to LSU, no suite owner has let their lease lapse since 2000. So the demand for suites is at a peak.

This is what UNC is doing to enclose their horseshoe:



That's all club seating. LSU could do something similar, although with suites instead.

I say spend the money on renovating what we already have. 100,000 would be nice, but I say making Tiger Stadium the nicest 92,00 plus stadium in the country would be better.

For bragging rights? Actually the money could be put to better use, but I suspect in a decade or so it will probably be expanded.

Suite in the S endzone would be great, view of the game PMAC, mississppi river bridge, state capitol. We do seem to be falling behind the jones' as far as stadium renovations go. At least we are replacing the windows.
