Tiger Stadium has a maximum of 20 years remaining, in my opinion.




The fricking lower bowl has been up since the 20's.

Built in 1924 with a seating capacity of 12000...

Yeah its not a matter of if but when...

However, I think a nifty fund raiser could be started but selling off pieces of the stadium...

A nostalgic relic for those who want a momentum to help build the next generation of LSU Football memories.

As long as they keep it structurally sound with improvements over the years there's no reason it can't last another 20. There's not a lot of earthquakes in La. so this is feasible. After all it's just metal and concrete, this can be replaced and upgraded. And FWIW, I would not want a new stadium in another location but refurbish the one we have to top notch specs.

If the new stadium had the appearance of the Roman Colliseum as the "original" enclosed stadium appeared in the70s before the expansions I would be all for it. Also a sign for the visiting when they are about to take the field: "Abandon all hope you who are about to enter".
