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.

Kinda like they did with the old Alex Box? I'm all for this if anyone wants to donate that much, not sure where the stadium would go though.

LSU is on the cusp of investing untold millions in the construction of a new tier of club seats in the SEZ. I don't believe they plan on abandoning the current edifice any time soon.

Logically, of course, you are correct. Time in infinite and at some point in the boundless future TS will have to be rebuilt or radically overhauled. But I doubt that will be an issue over the next century or so. They'll just keep adding to it and/or renovating it.

Tiger Stadium has had structure analysis done a few times in the last decade and it's fine. They'll add the South Upper soon and Alleva seems like he's dedicated to making it a showplace of college football. Like I said, they can do renovations much easier than tearing the place down.
