Idk, lack of sunlight has been the problem in yrs past so maybe so.
I think they swapped turf varieties though, so it may be ok now.

Interesting that they want to move Tennis out to the South Campus. I wish they would keep everything on the main campus. Move some of those cows out there. Looks like there would be room to build a tennis center near the softball field or past the Box between the levee or just tear down those nasty married student apartments. The West Virginia multi-campus set up was weird, but they really seemed to have a space issue more so than LSU.

They will be similar to ones in the corners of Bryant-Denny Stadium but larger, Alleva said.

I do like the big screens in B-D stadium sooo and they are larger

1. Get on the waiting list... cost $10 per year.
2. Donate more money... if you can.
3. Cross your fingers... and toes.

My thoughts exactly. I thought they were having trouble with grass on field due to lack of sunlight. Adding height to South End Zone could make this worse. Could this be the straw that breaks the camels back and causes school to go to artificial turf?

So the upper deck above the club seats and suites in the south end is gonna seat just 1,500? wtf? That's a small upper deck...

1,500-seat upper deck topping the entire addition

That's all they can stick up there? The more away fans that they can stick there, the better (like how Bama does it now).

Agreed. If we didn't have to build so many suites and club seats, 100,000 could be doable.

The reason why they are doing it is for the suites and club seats.
