This is a few of the renderings for the updated West Side exterior which they started construction on recently....In the first picture, You can see in the top right that it appears "TIGER STADIUM" will be in big block letters towards the top. I really like that, and hope they follow through with putting that up there. I'm excited about the South end zone expansion, but I'm almost equally excited about the West and North exterior renovations/upgrades. The West exterior needs some "character" and I think what they're doing is going to be really nice. It will be nice taking the focal point off of the blah two huge center columns and onto the main gate/championCircle as well as Tiger Stadium wording up top.

Prepare yourself. People are going to destroy this comment, even though I, too, like it.

A pity it isn't "Death Valley" instead of Tiger Stadium. I really do miss the Welcome to Death Valley sign in TS.

the westside of tiger stadium is one of the ugliest features on the LSU campus. That fricking brick or tile shite around the glass looks ridiculous

I would make a new post.. but this seems like a good enough thread.

How would you all feel about a new stadium (however far away that is, 25 years or something) that goes for a look as if you mixed The Coliseum and the current Death Valley (took some design elements from both, but kept it uniform around the entire structure)?

Geeez those are some cheesy renderings. My bosses would tear that shite up if I put that in their desk. I like how they made the pavement a reflective surface.

I really like the stuff they just came out with for the South Facade, and the North looks good too, but I think the west side is just so ugly that there isn't much they're going to be able to do with it that will look good.

The west just looks like they didn't care how it looked and took the lowest bid for the work. There wsn't even an effort to make it work with the rest of the stadium. Its right up there with CEBA, Middleton, and Locket as ugliest things on campus IMO.

I wish they would tell us what they are doing with the North side of the stadium. They replaced that chain link fence on the concourse with a nice looking rod iron fence. They have numbers on each of the gates and now they are covering up the windows that they just replaced. Anyone know anything?

I like the renderings

They've been working on this for a couple months already and I would definitely expect it to be finished by next season.

Every morning I jog right past there and they tore up my sidewalk that I run on, but now that I see what will become of it, I'm glad!

Edit:

Check out the gates! No more Toonces!! PRAISE THE LAWD!!!

Off the record I can say that they are gonna be there.

Having seen what the final product will look like I have warmed up to it and am actually in favor of the way they are doing it.
