I'm not sure we're getting anywhere with this conversation with your contributions(?) providing such a huge distraction. I'll keep cursing, sexual references, and name calling out of my response as best I can.

It's clear you're cool with the design simply because it's better than what you could come up with. I'm not going to knock that. But what's also clear to me is that there's a gap between when you think works and what could really make the project a homerun. Certainly that's my opinion. And I've spoken very plainly that the stretching and warping of the original design makes it no longer pleasing to the eye.

I'm no architect; so, I can't put forth an actual design. (Maybe if LSU paid me a few thousand like they paid the architect to draw up the designs, I would be happy to put something together.) I can just say that I'm comfortable, as a donating alumnus who has taken an interest in campus history and architecture, raising concerns about the design's shortcomings.


What a bunch of shite. It's amazing to me that so many people think they could do everything proposed by LSU so much better. We went through the same shite when they built the baseball stadium. How about we just let things play out. This administration had proven themselves with construction projects.

When you find complaints I made on this board about Alex Box, Tiger Park, the basketball practice facility, the stadium windows, the West renovations, or even the Union, band hall, or Business Education Complex, then I guess your characterization of my comments will make sense. However, you won't find complaints like those from me because I didn't complain about exposed beams or missing berms or anything else I saw on this board.

So, I'll take your point that this might play out just fine. But the renderings and final products I've seen in the past have matched up nicely for all of the projects I've mentioned. I hope this will be the one instance where the renderings don't show what will actually be built.

Oh, they have? Like building that ugly arse addition to the PMAC, when the PMAC itself is pretty shitty compared to most other SEC basketball facilities.

What they should of done is just built a new basketball stadium. Maybe that would help with the fan base.
