One of the dumbest threads I've ever read. I'll try to respond to some of the worst posts. This could get long.
Thank God you're not a structural engineer. With normal upkeep Tiger Stadium can last as long as the Coliseum.
I'd guess less than 10% of college stadiums have escalators.
Lololol, is this serious? An off-campus stadium that takes 40 minutes to bus students to? Lolololol, almost hard to even address the absurdity of this post.
I can almost guarantee you this thread is so pointless as Tiger Stadium will never be demoed. I repeat, never.

Every major football stadium has escalators. LSU just needs to find a better way to integrate them into the facade.

Yes with the following qualifications, which I look forward to discussing:
Purpose: the future. Essential Goals in this order: Beautiful outside, practical, and beautiful inside.
Build an 115,000 plus seating capacity Ultradome between New Orleans and LSU and use it for the Saints, LSU, any nearby pro team wanting a great venue (even if part time), any Bowl, and any college conference championship. The winners and losers both get to party in New Orleans without driving.
The Dome would be linked to LSU and New Orleans by a 60 mph raised rail system that would only take 40 minutes for the students (priority) to arrive.
Unlimited acreage for events and for before-and-after-game tailgaiting and parking.
Squeeze in some roof acreage (not necessarily contiguous) to roll back for dry cool days (not a must).
Real seating. No stupid standing room only for 20K plus fans who can’t see the game.
It must be as loud as the Superdome (which is louder than Tiger Stadium).
It must be beautiful outside and inside.
No gimmicks such as giant, useless windows as in Jerry’s World. That must be for seated fans.
The SEC is expanding, and college ball is becoming more and more important.
Others can argue over benches or seatbacks; just don’t forget the goals.

The Coliseum is constructed almost entirely out of stone. The oldest, permanent concrete building in the United States is Harvard Stadium, which is 108 years old. Are you suggesting that 20th Century concrete buildings can last, under the use we make of a football stadium for 2000 years?
I don't have to be a structural engineer to realize how ludicrous that sounds.
