Looks like one of the low-ball TD.com contractors bid about $1000 a window and won the job.

UMMMM.... if you know construction talk when someone says it will take 3 months, that turns into 6-9 months.

And if you know LSU and the morons involved you'll know that 3 months equals 13 months and the project will stop at some point to cut half the budget and still never finish on time.

Perfect, start it this summer so they are half way done and our stadium is a construction zone come september...thats a great idea. That is like starting road construction at 5:00pm on a Friday in I-10 east bound.

About time. Visiting fans ask me about that all the time. It's an embarrassing eyesore.

The low bidder has completed countless window projects on campus within the last 2 years. They specialize in this type of work and get the specified window cheap. It is the same GC who completed the 1st "phase" of windows on Tiger Stadium

I would be surprised if the project ran long since it will cost the GC $1000 each day he runs over...unless of course LSU makes a change.
