re: Renderings of expansion from LSU

I'm not going to get all hung up on the expansion. The main thing is that it is finished by the 2014 season. Certainly Tiger Stadium will be more imposing with the encirclement of the SEZ.
I really don't recruits really are going to study the architectural aspects of the SEZ exterior and how it matches with the NEZ. But making the "Valley" even deeper and more imposing will certainly leave their mark, especially as it will enhance the level of noise.
In that respect, I think one thing still is missing in this puzzle. It is going to be very difficult for fans sitting on the east and west sides close to the SEZ to see the new jumbotrons.
Why not complete this renovation with the biggest and baddest jumbotron in the SEC wrapping totally around the NEZ? The current scoreboard there is due for an update anyway. You want to impress recruits? That's a "wow" factor, not the round circles above the arches. At least at a minimum put matching jumbotrons on the corners of the NEZ. Jumbotrons are low cost compared to anything else.
PS: while we're at it, what would really be eye-popping would be some high intensity lighting illuminating the exterior of the stadium and night sky above it. Would make Tiger Stadium look like Oz walking up. Again, it all about the shock and awe with recruits.

The correct idea for the exterior is there, but in the official renderings they didn't execute it well at all.
The difference with the north's exterior is that it is shorter in height than the south expansion renderings (thus it looks stretched out and a bit off). They need to have the arches at a shorter height if they want to duplicate the north endzone in the new extension, then figure out a way to build the new upper deck on top of the "colosseum"portion.

They just replaced that scoreboard 3 years ago. They just need to take the ads off.

Agreed. I'm pretty concerned the aesthetics of Tiger Stadium, rather than what happens inside of it, will really turn off some top-level recruits and LSU and its 100,000 seat stadium will begin a downslide.
