don't touch the streets on the north and south end. just build the new expansions on top of the current ones.

expansion of premium seating in Tiger Stadium.


now expanding the stadium and expanding "premium seating" are two different things. That may make the seating capacity smaller actually. It's only adding suites and club seats, possibly at the cost of other spaces.

Would someone with a NOLA.com account set this idiot straight? I hate ignorant people that refuse to understand that the "tax payers" dont fund this

You mean taxpayers paying for the expansion. LSU is public so ANY money they make off players is still the taxpayer's money.

LSU fired a bunch of teachers last year and year before because of money but they increased salaries for its coaches during the same time, and they still pay one coach millions to coach kids that make nothing.

When will states start to cap college coaches' pay, since they too are public employees?

I know, I know, LSU football makes the money to pay for coaches, but you are still dismissing the fact that ANYTHING to do with a public school is still owned by taxpayer's.

However, if this expansion makes financial sense then why not expand? Nothing wrong with adding a few thousand more annoying fans that yell the same phrase over and over and over and over and over; I.E. "Tiger Bait." I am from Louisiana and even I cannot stand to hear people constantly yelling that stupid phrase.

Vanity makes me want seating in Death Valley to break 100k.


But Lord knows we need some internal renovations first. Or at least install those fricking windows that we already paid for.

Just completed my survey. Really hope that they put these suites and club seating above the existing SEZ. Don't want to lose my seats there...

hell no....parking is already a nightmare...and TAF fees for FOOTBALL games are too high for non-corporate types already.

Screw the additional seats.

92,400 is plenty to the the loudest and most intimidating already.

Someone needs to tell LSU how to spell "gauge".
