Haven't been to Tiger Stadium since '08.
Have they renovated the concessions and bathrooms.

Both were a disgrace and seriously in need of action.

i dont like it at all. here are a few reasons (in no order):

1) the stadium is becoming a hodge podge of designs. not in a good way. the west upper has an interesting look that merges well with the existing stadium. the east upper is merely skeletal in nature. and goes fine as well. but now to that we are making the changes with the huge block letters AND now this. its losing all coherency

2) the scale of this looks off. too many rows of windows. it'd be better to have over-sized window to get a more pleasing proportion

3) i really dont like how the top cantilevers out. it reminds me of that goofy hotel they made on bluebonnet blvd (used to be a jimmy swaggart ruin)

the folks at TAF looking for a "vision" and continuity have really f'd all that up.

Reminds we of Chartres Cathedral. The whole stadium looks like pieces and parts of different stadiums. No flow to the design.

Lots of good comments and thoughts in this thread.

My vision for TS (somewhat lighthearted so no need to overreact):

1) Cease with the exterior renovations immediately. Leave it dilapidated looking and call it “The Asylum.”
2) Require all students who want to attend games to complete a course in TS emergency evacuations to mitigate fire marshal concerns. From the Washington ’83 game that’s an addt’l 5K more students as is.

We have a white sewage pipe hanging down from the west upper deck, for all the world to see and now we get this horrible addition that doesn't match anything.

HORRIBLE on the outside.

I could only imagine if the web and this site were around when LSU first proposed the original south endzone. This place would have blown up.

I like the inside.

Not sure about the exterior. It looks odd.

Is there really room to fit that without moving Stadium Drive some way?
